The function of the loop detector card is to detect road vehicles using inductive loops which are buried typically 75mm below the road surface. Under normal operation the loop detector is controlled by the Black CAT host. The user has the ability to indirectly alter loop detector parameters when using the Black CAT via the “Collect Black” user interface program Refer to 080004 – CA001-501 Black CAT User manual for details. 4 Physical Size 225 x 125 x 26 mm (overall including front panel and handle Weight 200g Temperature range -30º C to +80º C Input voltage Supplied by the Black Cat (nominally 12VDC) Operating current 10mA typ Sensor Inputs Up to 8 inductive road loops (80 - 350uH) Outputs 8 x Sensor status LEDs and 1 x Alarm LED I/O SPI bus Operating frequency 60 - 85kHz Detection sensitivity 0.05%dL/L Scan duty cycle 2ms transmitter on, 8ms transmitter off ITU Class of Emission as defined in the ITU Radio Regulations Article 4 Appendix 6. 1k0N0N Alarm Indicator This illuminates when the detector card is unable to communicate with the host CPU card.

Red marker indicates test location Set up for 3 metre measurements Set up for 30 metre measurements TEST REPORT SERIAL NO: UL-RPT-RP10295211JD01 V5.0 VERSION 5.0 ISSUE DATE: 04 DECEMBER 2014 UL VS LTD Page 29 of 35 Measurements at 3 and 30 metres The test site was free from underground metal objects. The EUT was powered at its nominal voltage from a single phase supply. A power cable was run across the field to the black box part of the EUT. An RCD was fitted to the power source. The wire loop part of the EUT was fully extended and taped around the perimeter of the plastic table at a height of 0.8 metres above ground level. The wire loop was connected to the black box via the standard heavy duty cables supplied by the manufacturer. This is representative of the layout in a typical installation. For safety purposes, the black box part of the EUT was placed on plastic trays above the ground level due to very wet ground conditions. All associated EUT cables were random looped and placed next to the black box. It was not possible to suspend the cables vertically from the table as shown in ANSI C63.4-2009 Section 6. This was due to the weight of the cables. The spectrum analyser used for measurements was located in a vehicle 30 metres from the magnetic loop antenna. Power to the test equipment was from a single phase supply. The test distance was from the centre of the mag loop antenna to the closest periphery of the EUT. This distance was maintained as the EUT was rotated. The EUT was rotated through 360 degrees in 60 degree steps at both measurement distances. The mag loop antenna was rotated through 90 degrees in 30 degree steps at every position the EUT was moved to.

The EUT was powered at its nominal voltage by a portable generator. The generator was located 50 metres from the EUT and surrounded by radio absorbent material. A power cable was run across the field from the generator to the black box part of the EUT. For safety purposes, an RCD was fitted to the generator output. The wire loop part of the EUT was fully extended and taped around the perimeter of the plastic table at a height of 0.8 metres above ground level. The wire loop was connected to the black box via the standard heavy duty cables supplied by the manufacturer. This is representative of the layout in a typical installation. For safety purposes, the black box part of the EUT was placed on a plastic container above the ground level due to very wet ground conditions. All associated EUT cables were random looped and placed next to the black box. It was not possible to suspend the cables vertically from the table as shown in ANSI C63.4-2009 Section 6. This was due to the weight of the cables. The spectrum analyser used for measurements was located in a vehicle 30 metres from the magnetic loop antenna. Power to the test equipment was from a single phase agricultural supply. The test distance was from the centre of the mag loop antenna to the closest periphery of the EUT.

TEST REPORT SERIAL NO: UL-RPT-RP10295211JD01 V5.0 VERSION 5.0 ISSUE DATE: 04 DECEMBER 2014 Page 32 of 35 UL VS LTD Comparison of open field test site with semi-anechoic chamber measurements at 3 metres Radiated measurements were performed an open field test site (referred to here as ‘OATS’) and within a 3 metre semi-anechoic chamber (referred to as ‘Site 1’). For the signal source, a modified loop antenna was connected to a signal generator at the transmit side. A standard active magnetic loop antenna was connected to a spectrum analyser at the receive side. The signal generator was set to its maximum supported output power and the signal was transmitted to the spectrum analyser via the two antennas and associated RF cables. A sweep in small frequency increments was performed from 9 kHz to 30 MHz. The sweep was repeatedly performed with both antennas rotated about the axis in various orientations. Received levels for all orientations were recorded and the maximum levels for the open field test site and the semi-anechoic chamber are shown on the graph below. Full data for both tests are archived on the UL VS LTD IT server and available for inspection on request. The conclusion was that the open field test site compares well with the semi-anechoic chamber at a measurement distance of 3 metres. If anything, the semi-anechoic chamber results are generally slightly higher. This means that if the …
