DL-ATG-1 

The DL-ATG-1 version of the detector accurately counts directional vehicles in a single lane of traffic with loop spacing of 8 feet from 
leading edge to leading edge.  Loop spacing may vary from a minimum of 2 feet from leading edge to leading edge (overlapping by 
six  inches) to a maximum of 12 feet from leading edge to leading edge.  Count accuracy at high speed (30 mph) decreases as you 
approach the minimum and maximum loop spacing.  Vehicles must span both loops to be counted. 

Typical loop size is 2.5 feet x 6 feet.  The loop size can vary from 2 feet to 4 feet in the direction of travel and 5 feet to 7 feet across 
the lane.  The loop should have three (3), four (4), or five (5) turns of wire.  The detector operates most effectively when each channel 
is connected to a single loop.  

Connecting multiple loops to a single channel is not recommended.

DL-ATG-2 

The DL-ATG-2 version of the detector accurately counts directional vehicles in two lanes of traffic with loop spacing of 8 feet from 
leading edge to leading edge.  Loop spacing may vary from a minimum of 2 feet from leading edge to leading edge (overlapping by 
0.5 feet)  to a maximum of 12 feet from leading edge to leading edge.  Count accuracy at high speed (30 mph) decreases as you 
approach the minimum and maximum loop spacing.  Vehicles must span both loops to be counted. 

Typical loop size is 2.5 feet x 18 feet.  The loop size can vary from 2 feet to 4 feet in the direction of travel and 12 feet to 24 feet 
across the lane.  The loop should have two (2), three (3), or four (4) turns of wire.  The detector operates most effectively when each 
channel is connected to a single loop.  

Connecting multiple loops to a single channel is not recommended.

Calibration 

Calibrating the detector will automatically select the proper frequency and sensitivity for each channel. The detector ships from the 
factory ready to be calibrated for first time use.  Once power is applied and there are no loop failure indications, the LCD displays 

CAL

. To calibrate the detector, place the Reno A&E Calibration Loop (not included with the detector) on the ground at least two feet 

away from the inductive loop.  Slowly drag the calibration loop over the entire detection area of the inductive loops.  The calibration is 
finished when the calibration  loop has been detected over both channels and there is no presence detected on the loops for 
approximately five (5) seconds.  Once the calibration process has successfully been completed, the display will revert from 

CAL

 to 

Count A

B.  Please note that once the calibration process has been initiated there is no way to cancel the calibration procedure. To 

enter into calibration mode after initial calibration, press and hold the Detector Reset button for 10 seconds until the LCD Display 
reads 

CAL

.   

NOTE:  Proper calibration is essential for accurate detection of tailgating vehicles.  It is critical that vehicles do not pass over the 
inductive loop while calibration is in progress.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Loop Fail 

Any time a channel failure occurs the LCD Display will indicate what type of failure has occurred on  the channel. The LCD will 
display 

L lo

  for low loop inductance and shorted loop situations or 

L hi

 for high loop inductance and open loop situations.  When 

there is a failure on both channels the display will toggle between the channels every 5 seconds displaying the fail status of each 
channel. Upon failure, the presence Output Relay for that channel will enter into the Fail Safe Mode, indicating presence on that 
channel.  In addition to the LCD display indication, and the Presence Output Relay, the corresponding channel’s Presence LED will 
flash three flashes per second.  If the loop self-heals, the Presence Relay and LCD will resume normal operation while the LED will 
continue to flash until the loop fail register is cleared by a Detector Reset or by cycling power.

To calibrate the detector, drag the calibration 
loop slowly (5 seconds in each loop) through 
both loops three times with

on.
