National Loop Co. 20' (4' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 10' Wide Driveways - P-NL10-18-150

Contractors reach for the National Loop Co. 20' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In when an existing asphalt or concrete drive needs reliable vehicle detection. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. 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 6' 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 single-car suburban homes, duplex driveways, and small farm entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
