National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-18-150

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops into a saw-cut slot. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. Installers saw a 3/16" by 1" deep slot into the existing surface, drop the prewound loop in, and seal the slot against moisture. 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:

• 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
