How to Cut the Loop on the Ground and Bury the Loop Wire Installing a loop detector involves cutting the loop on the ground and burying the loop wire. Here is a step-by-step guide to ensure the process is done correctly: Materials Needed: Chalk or marker Measuring tape Angle grinder with diamond blade or concrete saw Loop wire (typically 18 AWG or similar) Sealant (epoxy or silicon sealant) Broom or vacuum Backer rod or foam strips (optional) Shovel (if burying the wire in soil) Steps: Planning the Loop Layout: Determine the size and shape of the loop based on the application. Common shapes include rectangular or square loops. Mark the layout on the ground using chalk or a marker. Ensure the loop fits within the designated detection area and avoid cutting over existing cracks or joints. Measuring and Marking: Measure the perimeter and mark the lines where the cuts will be made. Typically, the loop should be around 6 feet (1.8 meters) wide for vehicle
