EALISATION OF THE SENSITIVE ELEMENT
The detectors are suitable for loops made up with an insulated copper
wire with a cross-section of at least 0.5 sq. mm. Preferably use twisted
copper wires with at least 20 twists per metre to connect the detector
to the loop. Jointing in the loop wires and in the twisted cable is not
recommended. If unavoidable, jointings should be welded and sealed in
an appropriate watertight junction box to ensure best detector operation.
If the wires used for the twisted cable are especially long or in proximity to
other power cables, shielding of said wires is recommended. Earthing of
the shield should only be made at the extremity of the detector.
Excepting special cases, the detection loops should be rectangular.
Install with the longer sides placed at right angles in the direction of
vehicle movement. These sides should ideally be kept at a meter one
from the other. Loop length is a function of the width of the road surface
to be monitored. A distance of no more than 300 mm is recommended
between the loop and each edge of the road surface. For loops running
over a perimeter of more than ten metres two wire windings are normally
employed, while for loops with a lower perimeter three or more windings
are required, and four windings are required for loops with a perimeter
below six metres.
In order to reduce possible troubles, adjacent loops should be so
laid as to alternate three and four windings.
All permanent loop components must be secured to the road surface (Fig.
1) in appropriate grooves made using masonry cutting tools or the like. A
cross-cut at a 45° inclination must be made at the circuit angles so as to
prevent the risk of the loop cable being damaged in proximity to the apex
of the right angles.
Nominal groove length: 10 ÷ 15 mm.
Nominal groove depth: 30 ÷ 50 mm.
The loop-detector connection cable must also be laid in an appropriate
groove running from one of the circuit angles along the circuit perimeter
to the road surface edge. To ensure wiring continuity between the loop
and connection cable allow for a long enough lead to reach as far as
the detector before inserting the cable inside the loop groove. After
laying the required number of wire windings in the groove along the loop
perimeter, route the wire towards the road edge through the connection
cable groove.
It is advisable that connection cable length not exceed 100 metres. As
loop sensitivity diminishes proportionally to connection cable length the
latter should be kept as short as possible.
Loops are secured to road surface by means of a quick-drying compound
containing epoxy resin or asphalt mastic applied hot.
In the case of two contiguous loops, keep a minimum distance of at least
two metres between each.
Note:
The inductive activity and hence the sensitivity of the loop detection
ACG9063
and
ACG9060
are two undecal, skirt-board, electromagnetic
detectors especially designed and built for the management of magnetic
loops and for generating two command signals upon a metal body of
considerable size, such as a motor vehicle, motor cycle, etc., passing
over them.
