National Loop Co. 38' (6' X 13') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 19' Wide Driveways - P-NL19-18-225

The National Loop Co. 38' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive vehicle detection loop that arrives ready to drop into a saw-cut slot. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. Installation calls for sawing a 1/8" slot 1" deep into existing asphalt or concrete, laying the loop in the slot, and sealing it, with no hand-winding or turn counting required. Its 13' side spans the travel lane while the 6' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 3' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to 2-car drives with extra walkway room and estate-style rural homes.

Features:

• 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
• 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
