National Loop Co. 56' (6' X 22') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 75' Lead-In for 28' Wide Driveways - P-NL28-18-75

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 56' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 75' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops into a saw-cut slot. 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. With the 22' side crossing the lane and about 3' of clearance per edge, and the 6' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits apartment complex entrances and farm or agricultural property gates.

Features:

• 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
• Saves labor cost compared with winding a loop by hand in the field
