National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - X-NL09-18-125

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 18' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops into a saw-cut slot. 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. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 3/16" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. With the 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 3' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits suburban single-car driveways, condo/townhome parking pads, and small ranch homes.

Features:

• 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
• 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
