DIY Driveway Gate Vehicle Detector Cut In Loop Installation

[windturbineclimber]

This is kinda how traffic lights know you are there for the light to turn Green. The metal from your vehicle inducts a current into the wire by way of induction which has to do with the North and South Poles repelling each other through magnetism. It sends a signal to the traffic signal cabinet to tell the light that there is a vehicle there.

Si el concreto donde se ranura para colocar los bucles tiene malla metálica, es viable la instalación?

My company uses the same technique for commercial and industrical wire loops, we also prebuild loops in PVC conduit for new constructions.

Shouldn't you test the loop before applying the sealer? 

[ehinolamichael]

can i twist the cable manually, and what are the necessary materials to put in place to have an effective loop detector installation?

[OsamaAli]

i have the following question;
what type of wire you are using for the loop?
if i have existing gate barrier and i need to add only exit loop what i have to do exactly?

Greetings! I would like to know, to calculate the speed, from the signal sent by the central of inductive loops, is it used a microcontroller or is there a software for PC!? I will be grateful if you can give back..

How do you trigger this without a vehicle available?

Another professional amateur Co.. If you want longevity for loops make saw cuts @ 45degrees. Wash your sawcuts and let dry. Dust prevents sealant from sticking! And they used thhn for many years b4 xlpe came along! Make sure you have atleast 7 turns per foot on your lead-in wires. Cuts should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches deep, lead-in cut should be if possible 1/4" wide for the twisted wire. Important: if wire insulation is cut thru to the wire you're gonna have troubles. Don't use it!

What is the trick for keeping the twisted wire from coiling up when you take it off the drill?

[zakialavi]

hi there can you pls tell me which wire can we used for loop ? and how many wir rings do we needs inside the cut pls ?

[daviddeprez]

Corners cut to far, triangle part will fail damaging the loop. Also must use water to stop dust pollution.

Hi Guys, is it possible to use this inductive loop for traffic light?

[laneheer]

How do I wire it into my mighty meal gate opener

[renanteginolos]

what will happen if we put two loops in one detector?
is it ok if i use #14 THHN cable for the loop.

[shanek]

What are these loops for? Do they tell you when someone is in your driveway?

There are serious flaws in the way these people cut vehicle loops.
-On asphalt, the cuts on the cuts on each side should not go at the way to the corner.
- Just using a scraper is not a proper way to clean a slot, an air blower should be used. The sealant needs a clean surface in which to adhere to.
- Splicing a loop lead-in is a HUGE and a HUGE no-no.

5:53 apply some tape, apply some more tape, apply some more tape, and then some more tape. Gross!
Come on, use some heat shrink
