What is a geomagnetic module?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The geomagnetic module is a<strong>Identification of metal vehicles by detecting changes in inductance of induction loops mounted below ground level<\/strong>The sensor. When vehicles, forklift trucks, hydraulic trolleys and other metal objects enter the detection area, they will cause a magnetic field disturbance, and the geomagnetic sensor detects the change and outputs a switching signal, triggering the opening of the door or recording the status of the parking space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared to radar, the geomagnetic module's<strong>Core strengths<\/strong>Is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Unaffected by rain, snow, dust, light and extremely stable<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Replacement for conventional ground sensing coils without cutting into the ground (pre-buried)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Particularly suitable for forklift trucks, hydraulic trailers and other frequent access sites<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suzhou Torchford provides a full range of geomagnetic modules (ProLoop \/ ProLoop2) using Swiss technology, with IP65 protection, 9 levels of adjustable sensitivity, automatic sensitivity boost (ASB) and other features, widely used in industrial doors, car parks, car park management, parking space guidance systems and other scenarios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Core technical principles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The geomagnetic module works by detecting the presence of a sub-surface mounted<strong>induction loop<\/strong>of inductance changes to identify metal vehicles. The loop and the capacitor inside the detector form<strong>LC oscillator circuit<\/strong>, when a vehicle enters the magnetic field generated by the loop, it changes the loop inductance, resulting in an increase in the oscillation frequency. The detector detects that this frequency change exceeds the set sensitivity threshold and the output relay contacts switch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Core parameter requirements<\/strong>\uff1a<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The optimum range of loop inductance values is\u00a0<strong>80-300\u03bcH<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Loop connectors need to be at least one per metre<strong>Stranding 20 times<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The loop resistance should be less than\u00a0<strong>8 ohms<\/strong>(with connecting cable)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Multi-loop anti-crosstalk<\/strong>: When several geomagnetic modules are installed next to each other, mutual interference can be avoided by setting different oscillation frequencies (F1\/F2\/F3\/F4) or using different numbers of coil turns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.
