2.2 Installation of the detection loop
a) Cut the slots in the track a maximum of 2 cm (3/4 in)
deep and 60 cm (2 ft) apart. Make sure the slots are
clean and dry. This will ensure a perfect seal when
the silicon is applied after the installation of
the wiring.
Put the wires of the detection loop in the slots and cut
the excess length of the detection loop wires.
b) Widen the slot with a chisel where the small
connection box of the loop is to be installed. Place the
connection box vertically.
c) When all wires are installed, put the heat shrinkage
sleeve over a detection loop wire end. Then solder the
loop wire to the short wire end of the connection
box. When soldering the wires together, the solder
shouldowthroughtheentireconnectionand
not only around it. Now put the shrinkage sleeve over
the soldered connection and hold it over a heat
source to shrink the sleeve (also see the drawing
below). Repeat this procedure for the second wire
of the detection loop.

d) Fill the slot with silicone. Before doing this,
please test the loop as described in section 2.3.
