Influences caused by
armouring or metal foil
Verification: cross the loop with a vehicle and check the detuning with diagnostic device VEK FG2.
Note: the loop is deadened by strong armouring or metal foil which is located in the concrete floor
under the loop. Such loops have a reduced sensitivity.
Remedy: -to a certain extent, the influences caused by strong armouring or metal foil in the concrete floor
may
be leveled out by increasing the detector’s responsiveness.
-spare the metal foil in the loop area.
Wrong alignment
Verification: the diagnostic device VEK FG2 shows a permanent negative detuning.
Detector has been aligned with the loop being occupied and deadened.
Remedy: re-align the detector with the loop not occupied.
Insulation fault
Loop feeder is too long
- place the detector resp. loop elsewhere.
Insufficient mechanical
loop solidity
Verification: tap the surface above the loop with a beam and observe diagnostic device VEK FG2 in
position with regard to possible frequency jumping or permanent detuning.
changes in the loop geometry may cause positive as well as negative detuning of the detector.
Metallic objects in loop
area
Verification: use diagnostic device VEK FG2 in
position to check frequency fluctuations and
-jumps caused by movements of the metallic object.
Note:
If metallic objects (e.g. manhole covers, grates, loose gates etc.) are surrounded by the loop,
Remedy: - re-install loop, so that the metallic object is now outside the loop field.
- replace the metallic object by a non-metallic one.
- prevent movements of the metallic object.
