General Loop Width Rules:
A loop can be between 30-60cm wide. A wider loop generates a larger detection field.
Generally speaking: for higher precision at lower detection height and lower speed, put it 30cm apart. For more detection height or higher speeds, put it 60cm apart.
General Loop Power Rule:
The higher you set the power, the larger the detection field and the less precise the time. Note that due to regulatory limits it may not be possible to set 100% Loop Power on loop cables greater than 13m in length, which is also dependent on the loop cable used.
