loop and special functions, Low Level)
The LD4 is a loop detector for 4 loops (A, B, C, D). In terms of its features, it largely corresponds to
the SDA, and its operation is similar. Only the most important operator control functions are accessi-
ble by switches. More detailed features and additional functions can be set using the PC configurati-
on program “LD4-KONFIG” (P24734-M90-A937).

2.2.3 Selecting the presence time
Normally, the default setting of 4 minutes should be used. If conditions are not stable, a short pre-
sence time prevents excessively long blockage of the detector (continuous occupancy).

needed, adjustments must be made with a PC. A distance of 1 channel or 10 % of the idle frequency
generally suffices.

2.3 “Double loop” mode
In this case, 2 loops A and B on the one hand or C and D on the other hand are always logically com-
bined in the detector, for direction detection, speed measurement or vehicle type discrimination. The
selection is made separately for A/B and C/D. This function is not available with the “Low level” versi-
on (-A12).

2.3.7 Connecting the detector board
Carefully insert the board (making sure that the contacts of the plug connector are not bent) and
switch on the voltage (the LD4 may also be fitted under a live voltage). The “Power” LED must light
up permanently.

• Fault indication LEDs FA ... FD (“Independent Loops”) or FB, FD (“Double Loop”) flashing
Frequency adjustment error. The chosen frequency channel cannot be set (inductance too
high/too low, loop feeder line too long). Either change the loop connection range or select a diffe-
rent channel or a different combination of channels with the rotary switch. This error may also oc-
cur in the event of a loop short-circuit.
In the case of a double loop, one or both loop(s) is/are affected. To find out which of both loops of
the double loop cannot be adjusted without having to carry out a measurement, you can tempora-
rily activate the “Independent Loops” mode. Using the PC configuration program, each loop can
be specifically queried without switching over the mode or removing the board.
• Occupancy indication LED DA ... DD flashes irregularly
Response instability. This may be caused by external interference (e.g. strong magnetic fields, po-
wer lines), as the result of poor loops (e.g. poor insulation, unstable connecting sleeves or termi-
nals) or by coupling with identical loop frequencies of other loops (loops too close together, same
frequency and the same cable, unfavorable device cabling with coupled feeders).
You must remember that, particularly when the sensitivity is high, unstable contact resistance va-
lues amounting to a few tens milliohm may cause problems. This is often caused by corroded slee-
ve connections or terminals. If necessary, also reduce the sensitivity or set longer measurement in-
tervals for smoothing (with the PC).
Frequencies other than the ones that can be set with the rotary switch or intermediate sensitivity
values can be selected with the PC configuration program.
• No reaction of the occupancy indication LED DA ... DD to vehicles (“ Independent Loops”
mode)
This may be due to too low a set sensitivity. Increase the sensitivity, if necessary. When using the
PC configuration program, the thresholds can be set continuously. Excessively high sensitivity va-
lues should be avoided, though.
Other cause: the automatic LED deactivation function is active. In this case, it suffices to press the
Reset key to temporarily activate the LED.
• No reaction of the occupancy/direction indication LED DB, DD to vehicles (“Double loop”
mode)
The display only appears when the direction is from A to B (DB) or C to D (DD) and both loops are
simultaneously covered (occupancy overlap). This is not the case with bicycles, for example. Set
the alternative mode “Direction with A” with a PC.
The “double loop” mode cannot be selected when using LD4 -A12.
• Switches/LEDs do not react as required
If the “MODE” LED flashes at the same time, the significances of the switches/LEDs have possi-
bly been modified with the PC configuration program (e.g. fixed response threshold or other functi-
ons and outputs/LEDs). The active settings can be queried with the program.

2.5 Further operator control, test and monitoring functions
• Mode LED:
when the LED is off, the default features and settings are active. When it is continuously on,
some parameters have been modified with the PC or functions have been activated (e.g. drift com-
pensation, automatic LED deactivation feature, inversion of the outputs). If it flashes slowly,
switch and LED functions are also affected by the modified features (they may then have different
meanings, e.g. different sensitivites or other functions). If the display only flashes briefly at regular
intervals, the automatic LED deactivation feature is active (“Power Save”).
• Reset key:
triggers a hardware reset or, if LEDs are deactivated, activates them again. Adjusting the DIP swit-
ches also generates a reset.
• Testing outputs:
each switching output can be set separately. To do this, the rotary switch must be set to zero, in
which case the switches S1.1 ... 8 have a different meaning. S1.1 activates the occupancy output
BELEA (low = Sx ON), S1.2 activates BELEB etc. Refer to the table in figure 1, Operator controls
on the module front. At the same time, the affiliated LEDs are also activated (on = Sx ON).
• Cyclic vehicle sequences:
when the rotary switch is set to 9, the LD4 generates regular vehicle sequences that are issued
both at the switching outputs and also via the serial interface. When S1.1 is ON, vehicles are simu-
lated in the main direction and, when S1.2 is OFF, they are simulated in the opposite direction.
A PC, with which a user-friendly configuration program “LD4-KONFIG” (P24734-M90-A937) can be
used, can be plugged onto the front socket for more in-depth diagnostics, for selection of special
functions and various parameters and for a display of all active settings.
