National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - P-NL09-18

Gate installers can turn an existing driveway into part of the safety system with the National Loop Co. 18' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. Installers saw a 1/8" by 1" deep slot into the existing surface, drop the prewound loop in, and seal the slot against moisture. With the 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 3' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits suburban single-car driveways, condo/townhome parking pads, and small ranch homes.

Features:

• Provides the non-contact vehicle detection UL 325 gate systems count toward their two required means of entrapment protection
• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• One continuous, non-spliced Polypropylene-insulated wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
• Precisely stacked wires let loop sealant fully encapsulate the loop for lasting weather protection
• Cuts down on faulty detection calls and repeat service trips thanks to consistent machine winding
• More cost-effective than hand-wound loop installations
