National Loop Co. 46' (6' X 17') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In for 23' Wide Driveways - P-NL23-18-250

Made for gate and access-control upgrades, the National Loop Co. 46' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop, machine-wound and ready to seal into existing pavement. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for automated gates. The install method is a 1/8" wide, 1" deep saw cut in the existing asphalt or concrete, with the loop laid in and sealed to finish the job. Its 17' 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 oversized residential drives and small business/customer entrances.

Features:

• 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
• Precisely stacked wires let loop sealant fully encapsulate the loop for lasting weather protection
