National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - P-NL12-18

Retrofit projects move faster with the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG loop that eliminates on-site wire winding. 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. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 1/8" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. Its 8' 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 comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

Features:

• 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
• Neatly stacked turns accept loop sealant completely, locking out moisture for long service life
• Optimizes read range, eliminates faulty signals, and minimizes callbacks
• Saves labor cost compared with winding a loop by hand in the field
• 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
