• Frequency| 20 or 170 Mhz
• Outputs| 2 NO outputs (contact max 5A 230Vac) or 1 NO output and 1 NC output

The dimensions of MD150 are the following:

PRE INSTALLATION

PRECAUTIONS TO HAVE
**** Please pay attention to the supply voltage of the equipment.
Any wrong connection will damage the product.

• The circuit and power cable must be isolated copper wire with a minimum cross section of 1.5mm.

**** Wire splicing is not advised. In any case, any splices should be welded and waterproofed to prevent detector malfunction. Power cables subject to electrical interference must be shielded cable grounded at the detector.

• The wires (rigid or flexible) must be 1.5mm.
• The circuit must be square or rectangular with a minimum distance of one meter between the two opposite sides.
• Usually three turns of wire are used in the circuit, except in particular conditions of steel mesh in the ground, where five turns of wire must be made in the circuit.

Large circuits with a circumference of more than 8 meters should have two turns, while those with a circumference of less than 6 meters should have four turns. In the case of two circuits next to each other, to avoid interference, it is recommended to install one circuit with three turns and another with four turns.

• To avoid detector malfunction due to interference, the circuits must be at least 1 meter apart and operating at different frequencies.

INSTALLATION

DEVICE INSTALLATION

1. DRILL THE FLOOR
   Punch the floor using a suitable tool.
   (see detail A).
   Then make 45 ° incisions to prevent damage to the wire.

2. PUT THE WIRE
   Make the necessary turns of wire in the floor cutout.
   Twist the wire segment that forms the power cable.
   Fill the crack with epoxy resin or bitumen (see detail B).Ground type| Turns of wire
   ---|---
   Normal| 3
   With steel mesh| 5

3. INSTALL MD150
   Detach the connector base from the MD150 and install on the desired surface.
   Make the connections according to the diagram on the next page.
   Put the MD150 back on the connector base.

To avoid electromagnetic interference, pull the loop wires from the power wires.
The intertwined wires between the Loop and the MD150 must not exceed 10m in length.
The 2000mm measurement for the width of the floor cutout is just a reference.
This measure will always depend on the width of the passageway.

PROGRAMMING

OPERATION AND INDICATION OF STATUS DEVICE CALIBRATION
When connecting the device to power, the calibration will be done automatically.
The calibration process takes about 3 seconds.
During the calibration process, the two green LEDs on the panel remain ON.
** No vehicle should pass through the loop zone during the calibration process.
Once the calibration process is complete the green LEDs will turn off.
BEHAVIOR OF THE LEDs**

the passage
Mistakes| Behavior
---|---
Loop not detected in calibration| The green LEDs blink intermittently
The loop is not done according to the given range values

PROGRAMMING

FREQUENCY ADJUSTMENT
The adjustment of the frequency of channels 1 and 2 is done on Dip switch

1 and Dip switch #2 respectively which are located on the front panel of

Dippers.
This depends on the geometric shape, size and number of turns of the loop.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

The adjustment of the sensitivity of channel 1 is done using Dip switch #5 and

6. Dip switch #3 and #4 regulate the sensitivity of channel 2.

Several factors influence the sensitivity: length of the loop, number of turns in the loop, length of connection cable and the presence of metals under the loop.

**** To perform a test manoeuvre, you must set the Sensitivity to the lowest level. After carrying out the test, if the vehicle is not detected, increase the Sensitivity by one level.
Repeat the procedure until vehicle detection works correctly.

AUTOMATIC INCREASE IN SENSITIVITY

The automatic increase in sensitivity increases the sensitivity level to the maximum value.
This level is maintained the entire time the car is on the loop. When the loop stops detecting the vehicle, the sensitivity level returns to the pre-selected value.

PROGRAMMING

MODE OF OPERATION CHANNEL 1 AND CHANNEL 2 RELAY
You can define if Channels 1 and 2 both work in the same direction of passage, or if they work independently with each channel corresponding to a direction of passage. For this, configure Dippers #8 and #9

Channel 1 relay (outputs 5 and 6) and the Channel 2
relay (outputs 3 and 4) have a timeout of 500ms.| When the vehicle leaves, the Channel 2 relay
(outputs 3 and 4) has an output timeout of 500ms.| There is no timer for exit mode.

DIRECTION OF THE CHANNELS

You can define whether the two channels work individually (Single) for each direction or whether they work simultaneously (Double) in the same direction.

DEVICE RESET

By pressing the reset button, the device will automatically switch to a vehiclefree mode.

**** Make sure that no vehicles pass during the reset process.
