National Loop Co. 64' (6' X 26') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In for 32' Wide Driveways - P-NL32-18-30

Contractors reach for the National Loop Co. 64' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In when an existing asphalt or concrete drive needs reliable vehicle detection. 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. 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 26' 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 light industrial driveways and church or school lot entries.

Features:

• Cuts down on faulty detection calls and repeat service trips thanks to consistent machine winding
• 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
