National Loop Co. 30' (4' X 11') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 15' Wide Driveways - P-NL15-18-225

Contractors reach for the National Loop Co. 30' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In when an existing asphalt or concrete drive needs reliable vehicle detection. Wired to compatible automated system, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 1/8" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. With the 11' side crossing the lane and about 2' of clearance per edge, and the 4' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits standard 2-car driveways on modest suburban lots.

Features:

• 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
• 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
