National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - P-NL38-18-30

Built for retrofitting an existing paved driveway, the National Loop Co. 76' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG inductive loop ready to lay into a 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. 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:

• 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
• 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
