Practice question

What is the proper procedure for checking a loop detector inductance in the field?

  1. Measure the voltage across the loop with a multimeter
  2. Use an LCR meter to measure the inductance (in millihenries) at the detector amplifier terminals with the lead-in cable connected
  3. Check the resistance of the loop wire with an ohmmeter only
  4. Count the number of wire turns in the loop

Answer: B — Use an LCR meter to measure the inductance (in millihenries) at the detector amplifier terminals with the lead-in cable connected
