National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-18-175

Made for gate and access-control upgrades, the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop, machine-wound and ready to seal into existing pavement. 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. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 3/16" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. The 8' side covers the travel lane with roughly 2' of clearance on each side, and the 4' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

Features:

• One continuous, non-spliced XLP-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
• Designed for vehicle detection with gate operators, parking barrier gates, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
