National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-18

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for retrofit installations. 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. Installers saw a 3/16" by 1" deep slot into the existing surface, drop the prewound loop in, and seal the slot against moisture. With the 8' 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 comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

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
