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

The National Loop Co. 17' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive vehicle detection loop that arrives ready to drop into a saw-cut slot. 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. The install method is a 3/16" wide, 1" deep saw cut in the existing asphalt or concrete, with the loop laid in and sealed to finish the job. With the 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 3" of clearance per edge, and the 2.5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
