National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - P-NL17-18-225

Made for gate and access-control upgrades, the National Loop Co. 34' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop, machine-wound and ready to seal into existing pavement. 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. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 1/8" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' 6" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

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
