Vehicle Loop Detector Circuit Schematic

Drive a large vehicle over adjacent lanes loop detectors and observe if a false call spillover is detected.

Vehicle loop detector circuit schematic.

Loop detectors are available as direct plug in for specific gate operator control boards or use a universal 11 pin octal connector. An induction loop vehicle detector comprises an oscillator circuit having a plurality of capacitors switchable in circuit with a road loop under the control of a microcomputer to determine the oscillator frequency. The number of turns in the loop is determined by the size of the loop. This circuit can also be used in conjunction with my delay.

The loop resonates at a constant frequency that the detector monitors. Into the designated loop. For example a 4 x 8 loop will give a detection height between 2 1 2 and 2 3 4 feet. We carry models from emx platinum access northstar diabo mmtc liftmaster doorking reno a7e.

Loop detector schematic modified to drive a relay. A base frequency is established when there is no vehicle over the loop. Extension cable which in turn connects to the vehicle detector. Observe the detection call light on the detector module for all sensitivity settings.

Executive summary of the induction loop vehicle detector. Good practice dictates multiple loops and detectors in this situation.

The octal connector is available as a harness or a mountable socket. The detector powers the loop causing a magnetic field in the loop area. The time will be calculated by arduino when the vehicle interrupts the start laser the timer begins and when the vehicle interrupts the end laser the timer stops and applying the values to the equation arduino will find the speed of the vehicle. Set the sensitivity to the lowest setting that will detect a bicycle.

If the inductive loop is placed correctly it will detect vehicle open gate and keep it open until the vehicle clears the gate. This tiny test coil was for testing only on my work bench and although it works detection distance is not very good.
