National Loop Co. 32' (4' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 16' Wide Driveways - X-NL16-18

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 32' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for retrofit installations. 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. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 3/16" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 4' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to common 2-car suburban driveways and small apartment building lots.

Features:

• 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
• Fills the non-contact detection role UL 325 assigns to vehicle loops in a 2-device entrapment protection system
• Designed for vehicle detection with gate operators, parking barrier gates, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• Wound from one continuous, non-spliced length of Polypropylene-insulated wire, leaving no splice point between the loop and lead-in to fail
• Predetermined number of machine-wound turns removes the guesswork of achieving optimal read range
