National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-18-100

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops into a saw-cut slot. Wired to compatible automated system, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 3/16" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. Its 8' side spans the travel lane while the 4' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

Features:

• 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
• 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
