National Loop Co. 32' (4' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 16' Wide Driveways - P-NL16-18-20

Installing the National Loop Co. 32' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In means sawing one slot, laying in a preformed 18 AWG loop, and sealing it. Connected to a loop detector, it reports every vehicle that crosses the sensing area, giving the gate operator the non-contact detection that fills one of the two UL 325 entrapment protection slots. Installers saw a 1/8" by 1" deep slot into the existing surface, drop the prewound loop in, and seal the slot against moisture. With the 12' 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 common 2-car suburban driveways and small apartment building lots.

Features:

• 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
• Saves labor cost compared with winding a loop by hand in the field
