Working Principle
The IDx detects metallic masses measuring the inductance of a loop.
This loop is part of an oscillating circuit that generates a magnetic field. When a vehicle passes
over the loop the oscillator’s frequency changes. The IDx’s microprocessor detects these changes
and, depending on its configuration, generates the corresponding output.
Reset
The RESET button is used to configure the IDx with the DIP SWITCH’s settings.
Every time the settings are changed the RESET button must be pressed.
Auto Tuning
When the IDx is turned on, the auto tuning process begins which determines the reference level.
During this process, the indicating leds are turned on.
The environmental fluctuations produce frequency changes which are compensated due to the
auto tuning process.
Indicating Leds
The IDx has three indicating leds. The channel leds turn on when a vehicle is detected and remain
this way until the vehicle has completely left the loop.
Apart from indicating a vehicle’s presence, these leds indicate channel failure.

Sensibility (SENS)
Each channel has 4 configurable sensibility levels. This sensibility is specified as δL/L [%]: the
minimum change (δL), the loop’s inductance must suffer, divided the loop’s inductance (with no
vehicle present). A cars typical sensibility is δL/L=3% approximately.

Presence Time (PRES)
Regardless of the output signal type (pulsed or permanent while present), if a vehicle remains
over the loop longer than a certain amount of time, the IDx will reset, causing a re-tuning. This
period of time, called
presence time , depends on the size of the metallic mass that’s being
detected. A car will reset the IDx after remaining over the loop for approximately an hour.
Frequency (FREC)
You can choose the working frequency of both channels to avoid interference with other
detection systems. Frequencies differ from each other around 5%.
The frequency will depend on the loop’s geometry. The detector works with frequencies from
25Khz to 120KHz. Above or below those frequencies the detector will indicate failure. To avoid
interference between the IDx’s channels, detection on each channel is done separately. When
detection is taking place in one channel the other one is off, this way mutual interference is not
possible. The IDx switches from one channel to the other with enough speed as not to affect
normal operation.
Loop construction and installation
The wire used for the loop must reach the detector module without cuts. The ends of the wire are
brought back to the enclosure. This sector of wire must be twisted, at least 25 turns per meter ( 8
per feet), and it can’t exceed 100m (330 feet). If the cut in pavement is shared by the channels,
increasing the number of turns per meter and using shield wires is recommended (shield must be
ground connected in detection module).

IDx User´s Manual Exemys
The loop, unless under prohibitive conditions, should be rectangular. Shorter sides should follow
traffic flow. Longer sides must be separated at least 1 meter (3 feet).
Wire section must be 1.5 mm square (14/16 AWG) or above. The wire may be multi core with
silicon jacket.
Figure 5 – Loop construction
25 turns / meter (8 turns / feet)
100 m (330 feet) Maximum
Examples on loop size and number of turns:
 Standard Loop
2m x 1m (6.5 x 3 feet), 3 turns
When installing two loops, of different detection modules, at close ranges you should choose
different working frequencies for each loop, to avoid interference. In any case, loops should be at
least two meters apart. When both loops are connected to the same IDx this restriction doesn’t
apply.
The loop is installed in a cut in pavement. The cuts should be wider than the diameter of the wire
used to form the loop; the depth should be N x wire’s diameter + 20 mm (1/8 “) or deeper (where
N is the number loop’s of turns). Cutting the rectangle’s corners at a 45º angle helps avoid
curving the wire beyond the maximum curve-diameter.
Proper installation of the loop will result in optimal detection. If a loop fails, it can’t be repaired
due to the installation method.

Figure 6 - Proper installation of the loop
Fill the pavement’s cuts with epoxy resin, avoiding moisture or other materials since this could
affect the measurements.
When placing a new loop, remove the old one. If this is not possible separate and isolate the wire
ends.
