The ground sense coil is a common device in parking systems. It is used to detect the arrival and passing of vehicles such as cars, trucks, and bicycles, and send signals to related control equipment to facilitate traffic management and reduce traffic accidents. The steps of how to install the ground induction coil will be introduced by COMA parking in detail below.
Step 1: Choose a suitable location
First of all, you need to choose a suitable place to install the ground induction coil. Usually, whether it is a highway or a city street, there will be some designated locations to install the ground induction coil. You need to carefully check the traffic flow at the desired installation location to ensure the rationality and collision resistance of the installation location.
Step 2: Clear the ground
According to the installation location you choose, you need to clean the ground first. Because the ground sense coil needs to be closely attached to the ground, debris and dust on the ground will affect the sensitivity and durability. You can use cleaning tools such as vacuum cleaners and mops to clean up. Before cleaning the ground, it is also necessary to measure the thickness and material of the ground to ensure that the distance between the installed bracket and the ground induction coil is correct.
Step 3: Style Selection
There are usually two basic styles of installing ground coils: round and square. Among them, the circular coil may be more suitable when the traffic volume in the installation area is large or the visual occupancy is affected. If it is installed on a busy city road, it is more suitable to use a square coil, because it has a larger area and is more durable.
Step 4: Install the Coil
Coil installation needs to work closely with the infrastructure. Proceed as follows:
* It is necessary to excavate en under the ground to open a slightly larger pit according to the size of the coil, and the depth should be set reasonably according to the site conditions. One side of the coil should be close to the foundation and stacked in the pit
* On the inner side of the coil, a few centimeters of decorative strip needs to be cleaned to prevent the impact between the coil and the equipment
* Insert the plug on the coil into the matching socket, pay attention not to connect the plug to the ground
* Check the connection between the device and the connecting line to make sure it is stable
Step 5: Protection Coil
Once the coil is installed, some basic maintenance is required to ensure it performs well during its lifetime. Here are some helpful protection tips:
* Avoid motor vehicles hitting the coil
* Do not use a chisel or other hard objects to impact the coil
* The coil cannot be installed under long-term direct sunlight
* Regularly check the condition of the coil, whether there is wear or damage
