2) No modifications to the circuit, parts substitutions, or changes in the function or form from the original equipment list will be allowed without prior approval of the Engineer.
4. Detector Loop Installation.
a. Insert the detector loop wire into a flexible plastic tubing for the full length of the wire from the point of splicing. Prefabricated loops installed under new paving consist of loop wiring encased in a watertight plastic tubing assembly. The field loop conductors installed in the pavement are to run continuously from the terminating service box or base with no splices permitted. At the time of placing the loop wire in the sawed slots, seal the ends of the tubing to prevent moisture from entering the tubing.
b. Twist all lengths of loop wires and tubing not imbedded in the pavement with at least 5 turns per foot (16 turns per meter), including lengths in conduit and service boxes.
c. Solder the electrical splice between the loop and lead-in cable to the controller and the loop wire using resin core solder. Furnish a water tight protective covering for the spliced wire, the shielding on the loop lead-ins and the end of the tubing containing the loop wires. Using an open flame to heat the wire connection will not be permitted. Use a soldering iron, gun, or torch equipped with a soldering tip. Complete the splice using the following method:
1) Remove all lead-in cable coverings leaving 4 inches (100 mm) of insulated wire exposed.
2) Remove the insulation from each conductor of a pair of lead-in cable conductors and scrape both copper conductors with knife until bright.
3) Remove the plastic tubing from the loop wires for 1.5 inches (40 mm).
4) Remove the insulation from the loop wires and scrape both copper conductors with knife until bright.
5) Connect conductors by a soldered “Western Union” type splice, wrapped with water proof tape and coated with a water tight protective covering.
6) Cover the exposed shielding, ground wire and end of any unused loop lead-in where the sheathing was cut with liquid silicone rubber. Apply Butyl Rubber Polymer Tape sealant between the wires and completely cover the silicone rubber. 3M Company Scotchcast Kit, or approved equal, is an acceptable alternate for splices.
d. Mark the location of each loop on the pavement with crayon or spray paint. Obtain the Engineer’s approval prior to cutting the saw slots.
e. Use a saw equipped with a depth gage and horizontal guide to assure proper depth and alignment of the slot. Use a blade for the saw cut that will provide a clean, straight, well defined 3/8 inch (10 mm) wide saw cut, without damage to adjacent areas. Make cuts 1.5 inches to 2 inches (40 mm to 50 mm) deep. Where the loop changes direction, overlap the saw cuts to provide full depth at all corners. Do not use right angles or corners less than 90 degrees.
f. Before installing the loop wire, check the saw cuts for the presence of jagged edges or protrusions. If they exist, remove them. Clean and dry the slots to remove cutting dust, grit, oil, moisture or other contaminants. Clean by flushing with a stream of water under pressure, followed by an air blast using oil free compressed air.
g. Install loop detector conductor using a nominal 0.2 inch (5 mm) thick wood paddle. If the wire does not lie close to the bottom of the saw cut, hold it down using a material such as tape or doubled over pieces of the plastic tubing.
h. Coil each loop clockwise (or according to the manufacturer's recommendations) and band the beginning conductor in the terminating handhole or base with a symbol "S" to denote the start of conductor. Use durable tags to further identify each loop by phase or function as shown in the contract documents.
i. Connect the “S” conductor of the loop to the unbanded conductor of the adjacent loop for situations where multiple loop configurations, spliced to a single lead-in loop, are to be connected in series.
5. Detector Loop Sealing.
a. After obtaining satisfactory test results, seal the loop with a flexible embedding sealer listed in Materials I.M. 491.18. Use the sealer according to the manufacturer's instructions.
1) Pour the sealer into the slot to half depth.
2) When both the loop and lead-in slots are half filled, check for air bubbles and material pileup, and then proceed to fill the slots to roadway level. The sealer, when poured into a saw cut, should completely surround the wires, displace all air and completely fill the area of the slot, except for that portion filled with the wire hold down material.
3) Remove excess sealant using a squeegee. Ensure neither a trough or a mound remains.
4) Allow sufficient time for the sealer to harden, according to manufacturer's instructions, before allowing traffic to move over the area.
b. After completion of the sealing, test the loop individually at the handhole and as a group at the control cabinet. The completed sealed loop is required to pass continuity, inductance, and resistance testing prior to being accepted.
6. Detector Loop Testing.
Test all loops and document by using the following procedures:
a. Determine the insulation resistance of the loop wire using a "megohmmeter" with 500V applied to either loop wire to earth ground. The resistance is to be greater than 100 megohms.
b. Determine the inductance of the loop using a loop inductance meter.
