BD Loops E-Z Detector Checker

The BD Loops E-Z Detector Checker is a miniature test loop that fits in your hand. Instead of testing the loop, it lets you quickly rule out the rest of the loop circuit: simply disconnect the existing loop and hook the E-Z Detector Checker up in its place to test the detector module, harness wiring, and circuit board.

How It Works

Every time you approach a faulty loop system, you have to ask: is it the detector, the harness wiring, the circuit board, or the loop? The philosophy behind the E-Z Detector Checker is to test the easy-to-replace components first. Connect it in place of the loop, if the green light is lit, the connection is receiving power. Reset the detector and press the red button to simulate a vehicle. By quickly eliminating the detector, harness wiring, and circuit board, you can pinpoint whether the loop is the likely culprit before cutting in a new one.

Key Features

• Miniature test loop that hooks up in place of the installed loop
• Tests the detector module, harness wiring, and circuit board loop connections at the press of a button
• No batteries: the unit is powered by the operator
• Encased in a tough PVC shell; clip leads store in the back of the unit
• Reduces the chance of cutting in a new loop when the real issue is the detector circuit or board

Note: Testing the Loop Itself

The E-Z Detector Checker does not test the loop, it tests the loop-system components upstream from the loop. To test a loop for insulation faults or shorts to ground, use a megohmmeter such as the BD Loops BD-Megger.
