Detector falls off in spite of the loop being occupied
Possible reasons
Measures
Insufficient stop period
Verification: check the adjusted stop period
Remedy: increase the detector’s stop period resp. set on infinite.
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 within
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.
(if necessary, fix manhole covers and grates by welding)
