LOOP INSTALLATION
1. Layout the desired loop locations per the diagram.
The standard size chart below will give an
approximate length of wire required for various loop
dimensions and number of turns required.
CAUTION: The Loop wires and Lead-in wires must be a
continuous piece of wire without splices. The amount of lead
in wire required must be added to these lengths for total wire
required. Only use wire intended for this type of application.
(Type XHHW insulation 16AWG)
NOTE: Buried steel from drains or other systems may affect
functioning of the loop system. Check with the factory for
advice on any special installations. (1-800-243-4476).
