National Loop Co. 16' (2' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 8' Wide Driveways - X-NL08-18-200

The National Loop Co. 16' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive vehicle detection loop that arrives ready to drop into a saw-cut slot. Connected to a loop detector, it reports every vehicle that crosses the sensing area, giving the gate operator the non-contact detection that fills one of the two UL 325 entrapment protection slots. The install method is a 3/16" wide, 1" deep saw cut in the existing asphalt or concrete, with the loop laid in and sealed to finish the job. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
