National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - P-NL38-18-20

Retrofit projects move faster with the National Loop Co. 76' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG loop that eliminates on-site wire winding. 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. 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 32' 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 wide equipment yards, grain elevators, agricultural co-op entrances, and large commercial plaza entries.

Features:

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