National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - P-NL8.5-18-150
Gate installers can turn an existing driveway into part of the safety system with the National Loop Co. 17' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for automated gates. Installation calls for sawing a 1/8" slot 1" deep into existing asphalt or concrete, laying the loop in the slot, and sealing it, with no hand-winding or turn counting required. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2.5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' 3" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.
Features:
- 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
- Neatly stacked turns accept loop sealant completely, locking out moisture for long service life
- Optimizes read range, eliminates faulty signals, and minimizes callbacks
