Function description

The induction impulse transmitter PLD1/2 and PLD2/2 analyse loops laid in the ground. These represent the inductivity of a high frequency oscillator circuit. The metal body of a vehicle passing the loop causes a change of the frequency of the oscillator circuit. The loop detector analyses this and sends a switching signal via a dry relay. This is also displayed on the front LEDs. The analysis of the loop frequency is performed by a microprocessor that automatically adjusts to the existent frequency and automatically compensates changing loop inductivities due to temperature, humidity or aging of components.

The PLD/2's circuit board design is ideal for applications in integrated electronic control systems.

EC Conformity


Requirements for the usage according to regulations

Requirements acc. to ETSI EN 300330-1 (2002-12)
For the antenna factor (loop area A in m2 multiplied by the number of loop windings N) the following
is imperative: N*A <= 60 m2

Product class 2: Product class 3:
Max. length / width 30 m
Area < 30 m2 Area > 30 m2
Number windings > 1 Number windings 1


Constraints for the compliance with EN 300330-1

According to the stated formula, the following loop windings in dependence to the loop area are recommended:
Product class acc.
to EN 300330-1
Area [m2] Number windings Lloop [µH]
2 (1-3) 6 100-300
(3-5) 5 80-260
(5-10) 4 160-320
(10-15) 3 180-280
(15-30) 2 80-180
3 (30-60) 1 40-100

Operating frequency range (L = 15 µH - 400 µH)
20.05 kHz < f < 70 kHz

Total inductivity (loop + feed cable)
Specification: Ltotal < 400 µH

Example:
Loop inductivity 200 mH; feed cable inductivity < 200 µH
with 100 µH / 100 m: length of feed cable < 200 m

Requirements acc. to DIN EN 60950
The device has basic insulation.
