3.8 PLACEMENT OF LOOPS
Optimum position for loop is at oor level (up to 250mm above) or under oor depending on access to oor covering
and oor structures or 2.4m to 3.5m above oor i.e. in suitable ceiling. (Bearing in mind the working area at ear level i.e.
1.2m sitting, 1.6m standing) However Loop Displacement, typically between 10% and 25% of loop width (up to 50% for
small room), can alter these gures for larger rooms especially for Perimeter loops. Keep cabling 500mm to 600mm away
from outside room border walls and preferably away from heavy trafc areas if placed under oor covering (protection of
cable). In some construction styles, the loop cable can actually be placed outside the room perimeter walls.
FINAL CHECKS:
Before an induction loop system is permanently installed, it is recommended that:
• Environmental electromagnetic noise should be checked with the venue’s lights and all electrical systems turned
on.
• The loop wire should be temporarily taped or tacked in place and the system fully tested before performing nal
installation.
• To check whether the loop system is interfering with audio-visual systems, the venue’s audio & video systems
should be on when testing the loop.
• If electric guitars are used, they should be checked during the pre-installation loop test in order to determine if
their magnetic pickups are sensitive to the planned loop location. Use of Dynamic Mics to be conned outside of
Loop area.
