If the measured loop inductance value rapidly changes b y more than ±2 5%, t he chan nel is c onsid ered t o have faile d. The c hanne l then e nters the Fa il Safe Mode , whic h generates a constant Call Output. When a channel is in Fail Safe Mode, the Loop Fail symbol located at t he bottom of the LCD will be illumina te d and the LCD w il l dis pla y L lo for low loop inductance and shorted loop situations or L hi for high loop inductance and open loop s ituat ions. I n addition, the correspo nding c hannel’s LED w ill be gin to e mit a flashing pattern (three flashes per second). If the loop self-heals, the detector and LCD will resume normal operation. The LED will continue to flash as a means of indicating a prior loop fail condition and will continue to do so until the loop fail register is cleared.

FIRMWARE VERSION

The fir mware ver sion and r evisio n for the de tector is displaye d. This is a view o nly para meter. Th e displa y alterna tes between the model letter and firmware version (example U34) and the firmware revision number (example .00).

III. How to Reset the De tector:

• Momentarily press the CHAN pushbutton until the channel to be reset is selected. Press and hold the CHAN pushbutton

continuously for three (3) seconds. After three seconds the channel is reset maintaining all previous settings.

• Changing the freque ncy or se nsit ivit y sett ing w ill en ter t he new s ett ing a nd res et the cha nnel. Chan ging any o f the ot her

parameters will take e ffect immed iately or on the next de tection, but will not rese t the detec tor channe l. Sim ply enter ing the program mode wit ho ut changing any parameter will not reset the channel.

• Pressing and holding all four pus hbu ttons simultaneously and continuously for five (5) seconds re sets both c han nels a nd

also restores the default settings to both channels.

• Changing the setting of Option 4 (Noise Filter Disable) will reset both detector channel s .

• The detector can be reset by removing and reapplying power.

• Loop Fail History is cleared by all rese t procedures descr ibed above excep t changing t he setting of Option 4 or changing

freque nc y o r s ens it iv it y. Press ing either the

(UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton while viewing the Loop Fail Histor y will

also clear the Loop Fail History.

IV. Sensitivity Setting:

Sensitivity is controlled by selecting a Sensitivity Level for each c hannel. The sens itivity settings o f 1 through 9 represent thresholds from the least sensitive to the most sensitive. Setting the proper sens itivity level for the loop circuit provides stability to the system. If set too high, the de tector may detect adjacent traffic. If set too low, t he detector may not detect small vehicles or high bed vehicles.

The LCD includes an eight (8) segment bargraph that is a representation of the relative change of inductance as seen by the detector. This automatically takes into acc ount loop s ize, loop inducta nce, number of loops, number of turns, loop geometry, lead-in length, etc. The bargraph is a sliding scale that is relative to the programmed Sensitivity Level. The first (left-most) bargraph segment represents the minimum inductance change necessary for the detector to output a call at t he currently selected sensitivity level. Larger inductance changes will indicate more segments. Each additional segment indicates that the next se ns it ivi ty le ve l has a lso b ee n met o r e xce ede d. Therefore, the bargraph indicates if the sens itivity is set too high or too low, easily facilitating the idea l sett in g of the sensitivity level.

The dia gra m belo w sho ws the bar graph w it h the c hanne l set to Sensitivit y Level 6: 0.02% -ΔL/L. The bargraph indicates that the vehicle in the loop zone has exc eeded the mi nimum sens itivity leve l by an additio nal five Sens itivity Leve ls or

0.64% -ΔL/L. The typical vehicle to be detected should cause five or six segments of the bargraph to become filled.

If the typical vehicle to be detected is not creating a five to six segment display on the bargraph, count how many segments are being displayed and subtract six. If t he number is positive, lower the sensitivity that many leve ls. If t he numbe r is negati ve, rais e t he se ns itiv ity t hat man y le vels . E xamp le: The d ete cto r cha nne l se ns itiv ity is c urre nt ly pr ogr am med at th ree (3). The bargraph shows four (4) segments during a typical vehicle detection. Take four (4) (the number of segments displayed) and subtract six (6) to get minus two (-2). Si nce the a nswer is negat ive, raise the sensit ivity level, c urrent ly at three (3), by two (2) to arrive at the desired s e nsitivity level of five (5 ).

The bargraph can also be used to take advantage of a direct relationship between the percent change of inductance caused by a single standard automobile and a small motorcyc le in the sa me loop / lead-in conf i gurat ion. Ad justin g the se nsitivi ty level for the channel until seven (7) segments of the bargraph are shaded when a standard auto mobile is present in the loop zone ensures that the sensitivity has been set to detect a small motorcycle in the same loop zone. If the left most segments of the bargraph are flickering when vehicles pass in t he adjacent lane, the Phase Green Compensation can be turned on to minimize the effects of adjacent lane detection (see Option 5). The second method of reducing adjacent lane detection is to reduce the sensit ivit y leve l by t he nu mber of seg ment s tha t are flickering, however this w ill also eliminate the ability to re liably detect small mo t o rcycles .

II. How to View and Program Detector Functions:

• Ente r the PROGRAM mode b y momentarily pressing the FUNC pushbutton. Use the FUNC p ushbutton to step through

the functions described below.

• Pres s t he CHAN p ushbutt o n t o s e le c t the cha n ne l to vi e w o r ma ke cha nge s t o. T he c hannel t ha t is in PR O G R AM mo d e is

indicated by a flashing numbered-loop symbol at the bottom of the LCD.

• To change a function’s setting or to toggle a function ON or OFF, press the  (UP) or  (DOWN ) pushbutton.

• To exit the PROGRAM mode a nd return to the NORMAL mode, press and hold the CHAN p ush butto n continuously for

one second.

LOOP FREQUENCY

Press the  (UP) or  (DOW N) p us hb utt on to c han ge t he pro grammed l oop fre q ue ncy. The fil le d se gme n t on t he bargraph indicates the setting. The left-most segment represents setting 1 a nd t he rig ht-mo st se gme nt represe nts setting 8. The LCD will display the actual operating frequency of the loop circuit. A separation of at least 5 KHz for adjacent loops, not connected to the same detector, is recommended. NOTE: Changing the frequency will reset the detector channel. Care should be taken to ensure that the detector channel is not reset while the detection zone is occupied.

SENSITIVITY

Press the  (UP) or  (DOWN) p ushbutton to change the programmed sensitivity. The low e s t S e nsitivi t y Le vel is 1 and the highest Sensitivity Level is 9. The channel can be configured to place a permanent call by selecting CALL (o ne setting after Sensitivity Level 9). The channel can be disabled by selecting OFF (one setting before Sensitivity Level 1). If CALL or OFF is selected, the LCD flashes the message CALL or OFF during NORMAL DISPLAY mode. See Section IV Sensitivity Setting for instructions on how to use the bargraph to determine t he proper sensitivity setting for the loop / lead-in netwo rk connected to the channel. NOTE: Changing the sens itivity will reset the detector cha nnel. Care should be taken to ensure that the detector channel is not reset while the detection zone is occupied.

PRESENCE / PULSE



Pressing either t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton t oggles betwee n PRESENCE and PULSE modes. PRESENCE mode outputs a call as long as the detection zone is occupied. CALL EXTENSION, C ALL DE LAY, and MAX PRE SENCE ca n all modify the operation of the PRES ENCE mode. PULSE mode generates a 125 millisecond pulse when a vehicle is first detected. On l y CA LL EXTENSION a nd CALL DELAY modify PULSE mode operation.

CALL DELAY TIME

Call Delay Time c an be adjusted from 0 to 255 se conds by press ing the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton. When the Call Delay Time is 0, pressing the DOWN pushbutton step s t he value t o 255 s econds. Whe n the Ca ll De lay Ti me is 255 s econds, pressing the UP pushbutton st eps the va lue t o 0. Dur ing the D EL AY P ERIO D, the c ha nne l’s LED flas he s at a four Hz rate with a 5 0% duty cycle and the LC D shows a countdown of the Call D elay Ti me .

CALL EXTENSION TIME

Call Extension Time can be set from 0.0 to 25.5 sec onds b y press ing the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton. Whe n t he Call Extension Time is 0.0, pressing the DOWN pushbutton steps the va lue to 25.5 second s. W hen the Call Exte nsio n Time is

25.5 seconds, pressing the UP pushbutton step s the value t o 0.0. Dur ing the EXT ENSION PER IOD, the channel’ s LED flashes at a 16 Hz rate with a 50% duty cycle and the LCD shows a countdo wn of the Call Extension Time.

MAX PRESENCE TIME

Max Presence Time can be adjusted from OFF to 999 seconds by pressin g the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton. When the time is set to OFF, pressing the DOWN pushbutton steps the value to 999 seconds. If Max Presence T ime is set to anyt hing other than OFF, an EOG selection appears on the LCD after the Max Presence selection.

A call output occurs when either a vehicle is detected (Delay Time = 0) or after the delay timer has counted down to zero following the arrival of a vehicle. The Max Presence timer starts timing when a call output occurs. Any time a call output drops while the Max Presence timer is timing, the Max Presence timer is reset to the Max Presence time setting. The Max Presence timer counts towards zero as long as the call output exists. If EOG (End of Green) control is OFF, the detector channel resets at the time the Max Presence timer reaches zero. If EOG is ON, the detector channel goes into a wait state when the Max Presence timer reaches zero. The channel remains in the wait state until either the call drops , or the green input signal to the channel tra ns itions fr o m t he ON co nd it i o n to the OFF c o nditio n. I f t he call d r op s , no re s e t a c t io n o c c u rs . I f t he Max Pre senc e t ime r is in t he wa it st ate wh en the gre en inp ut s igna l tra ns itio ns fro m the O N co ndi tio n to t he O FF c ond it ion, the detector c hannel is reset with the vehicle over the loop. When the Max Presence timer is in the wait state, the MAX PRESENCE - EOG message flashes on t he LCD. NOTE: If the Max Presence timer does reset the channel, no CALL EXTENSION time will occur.

EOG (END OF GREEN) NOTE: Only appears if MAX PRESENCE TIME is not set to OFF.

Pressi ng e ithe r t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton t oggles between ON and OFF. See MAX PRESENCE TIME above for the effects of turning this feature on.

OPTION 1: LOOP INDUCTANCE

Pressi ng either the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton to ggles betw een ON and OFF. When O ption 1 is OFF the LC D indicates three dashed lines (- - -) d uring the No Call state. When Opt ion 1 is ON th e LCD cont inuously ind icates the Loop Induct ance val ue in microhenr ies while in the NORMAL DISPLAY mode. After 15 minutes, Option 1 turns OFF. The display shows three digits if the inductance is between 15 and 999 μH. If the inductance is greater than 999 μH, the display alternately flashes between 1 or 2 and the lower three digits. The four digits represe nt inductance values from 1000 to 2500 μH. When a vehicle is detected the Detect LED and bargraph display indicate the call. The count down of the Delay, Extension, and Max Presence timers is not displayed when Option 1 is ON.

NOTE: Turning this option ON for any channel

turns it ON for all channels.

OPTION 2: INDUCTANCE CHANGE -∆L/L

Pressing either the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton toggles betwee n ON and OFF. When Option 2 is OFF, th e LCD indicates a steady Call when a vehicle is detected. When Opt ion 2 is O N , the LCD indicates the -ΔL/L value w he n a ve hi c le is detected. The maximu m -ΔL/L that occurred is displayed for two seconds unless a greater change occurs. NOTE: Turning this option ON for any channel tur ns it ON fo r all channels.

OPTION 3: CALL EXTENSION TIME CONTROL

Pressi ng ei ther t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton to ggle s be tween O N and OFF. When O ptio n 3 is OFF, the detector channe l extends a ll calls for t he program med extensi on time. Whe n Option 3 is ON, the detector extends calls for the programmed extens ion time only when t he associated Phase Gr een Inp ut (Delay Override) signal is active .

OPTION 4: NOISE FILTER DISABLE

Pressi ng e it he r t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton to g gles be tw ee n ON and O FF. W hen O pt io n 4 is O FF, int er na l no is e filtering is utilized. W he n Opt ion 4 is ON, internal noise filter ing is disabled thus providing a faster response time. Changing the setting of this optio n will reset all detector cha nnels. It is recommended that this option only be turned ON when the detector is used for speed and/or occupancy measurement applications. NOTE: Turning this option ON for any channel turns it ON for all channels.

OPTION 5: PHASE GREEN LOOP COMPENSATION

Pressi ng e ithe r t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton to ggles between ON a nd OFF. When Option 5 is OFF, normal loop compe nsa t ion is use d. No co mpe ns at io n oc cur s d ur in g t he f irs t four minutes following the detection of a vehicle to preserve small mo tor cyc le d etec ti on fo r a full four min utes . W hen O ptio n 5 is ON , loo p co mp ensa tio n be gins whe n the Pha se G ree n (Dela y Overrid e) input becomes true and the cha nnel is outputting a Call. T he channe l will t hen begi n to tune o ut smal l changes, such as adjacent lane pick up and/or loop drift. The presence time for average size vehicles is not affected (note that a small motorcycle will a lso be tuned o ut in a short pe riod of t ime follow ing the start of Phase Green). This option is useful in minimizing false detection resulting from adjacent lane pickup effect.

OPTION 9: THIRD CAR PASSAGE

Pressi ng ei ther t he  (UP) o r  (DOWN) pushbutton to ggles between ON and OFF. Option 9 is a paired channel option. This means that it requires two detector channels to per form the function. C hannel 1 is paired w ith Channe l 2 a nd Cha nnel 3 is pair ed wi th Cha nnel 4 . When this option is c hanged for one of the paired channels, the state of the option for the other paired channel is changed to match it. W hen O pt ion 9 is OFF the detector channel operates normally. When Option 9 is ON, the output of the two paired channels are logically ANDed together. T his means that neither c hannel will output a Ca ll until both channels have detection. T he first channel with detect ion will enter a pending state while waiting for detection in the other paired channel. While in the pending state, the LCD will show Pnd. NOTE: Optio n 9 is mu tuall y exclus ive wit h Option 10. Turning ON one option will automat ically t urn OFF the other option.

OPTION 10: DIRECTION AL LOGIC

Pressing either the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton toggles between ON a nd OFF. Optio n 10 is a paired c hannel opt ion. This means that it requires two detector channels to per form the function. C hannel 1 is paired with C hanne l 2 and Cha nnel 3 is pair ed wi th Cha nnel 4 . When this option is changed for one of the paired cha nnels, t he state of the option for the other paired channel is changed to match it. Whe n Option 10 is OFF, the detector channel operates normally. When Opt ion 10 is ON, directional logic is enabled. Directional lo gic starts with a detection o n one channel. This channe l will go into the pending state, display Pnd on the LCD, and NOT output a call. When both of the paired channels have a detection, the last channel to have a detect ion will output a Call until t he detectio n for the last c hannel ends, e ven if the detect ion ends for the first channel. NOTE: Option 9 is mutually exclusive with Option 10. Tur ning ON one opt ion will auto matically turn OFF the ot her opt ion. N one o f the t iming funct ions o f the f irst c hanne l with a dete ctio n will t ime (D elay, Exte nsion, and M ax. Presence) and the first channel will always operate in the Presence Mode regardless of programming f or the channel.

OPTION 11: AUDIBLE DETECT SIGNAL

Pressi ng e it he r t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton to ggles between ON and OFF. W hen Option 11 is ON for a channel, an aud ib le s ig nal is e mit ted an y t ime tha t c ha nne l’s de tection zone is occupied. This option can only be t urned ON for o ne channel at a time. The last channel to have Opt ion 11 tur ned ON w ill be the only o ne wit h Option 11 t urned ON. De lay and Extension time have no effec t on the audibl e signal. Option 11 will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.

OPTION 12: DETECTOR DISCONNECT

Pressi ng eithe r the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton toggles Option 12.0 between ON and OFF. When Option 12.0 is turned ON, detector disconnect is enabled for that channel and Optio n 12.1 is now accessible. If Option 12.1 is OFF, the extension timer also serves as the disconnect timer. If Option 12.1 is ON, the extension timer is inoperative and its programmed value is used as the disconnect timer (gap timer). When Detector Disconnect is enabled (Option 12.0 is ON), the detector operates normally during t imes when the phas e green input for the channel is OFF. Whe n the phase gree n inp ut is ON, the detector will use t he value programmed as extension time to deter mine when to disconnect the output for that channel. Therefore, if the detection zone is empty for the amount of time specified in the extension timer, the output for that channel will be disconnected. If a call does not exist when the phase green input transitions to ON, the output is immediately disconnected. The output is re-enabled when the phase gre en input transitions t o OFF.

OPTION 13: TRUE PRESENCE

TRUE PRESENCE can be set from 13.0 to 13.5 by press ing t he  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton. When O ption 1 3 is OFF (13.0), the detector operates in the normal PRESENCE mode. When this option is set to 13.1 through 13.5, TRUE PRESENCE is O N. Whe n Option 13 is O N, TRUE PRESENCE will hold the Call for as long as the vehicle is prese nt and power is not removed or the detector reset. TRUE PRESENCE time applies only for normal size automobiles and trucks and for normal size loops (approximately 12 f t

settings 13.2 to 13.5.

OPTION 14: SENSITIVITY BOOST

SENSITIVITY BOOST ca n be set from 14. 0 to 14.4 by pressing the  (UP) or  (DOWN) pushbutton. Whe n Op t i o n 1 4 is set to 14.0, SENSITIVITY BOOST is turned O FF. When this option is set to 14.1 thro ugh 14.4, SENSITIVITY BOO ST is ON. SENSITIVITY BOOST increases the sensitivity of the detector once it has detected an object. When setting this option, the digit to the right o f the decimal point indicates the number o f sensitivity levels t hat the sensitivity will increase after a detection has occurred.

LOOP FAIL

The number of loop failures logged in the loop fail register is displayed. Any time a channel enters the Fail Safe Mode due to a recognized loop failure, the loop fail register is incremented by o ne count. Pressing either the

(UP) or  (DOWN)

pushbutton will clea r the loop fail register. The nu mber of loop fail counts is also reset to ze ro by any power down, when the harness is disconnected from the detector, or when the channel is reset. The loop fail register is not reset when the setting of Option 4 (Noise Filter Disable) is changed or when the channel’ s sens itivity or frequency is changed.
