National Loop Co. 72' (6' X 30') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 36' Wide Driveways - P-NL36-18-20

Wound from one continuous length of 18 AWG wire, the National Loop Co. 72' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In installs in an existing paved surface through a simple 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. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 1/8" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. Its 30' 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 truck yards, heavy equipment facilities, and agricultural processing entrances.

Features:

• 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
• Optimizes read range, eliminates faulty signals, and minimizes callbacks
