National Loop Co. 42' (6' X 15') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 21' Wide Driveways - P-NL21-18-20

Because it arrives prewound and precut, the National Loop Co. 42' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In takes the guesswork out of adding vehicle detection to an existing driveway. 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. Its 15' 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 plus guest parking and wider rural/farm gate entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
