National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - P-NL8.5-18-250

Because it arrives prewound and precut, the National Loop Co. 17' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In takes the guesswork out of adding vehicle detection to an existing driveway. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 1/8" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. 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
