National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-18-200

Gate installers can turn an existing driveway into part of the safety system with the National Loop Co. 24' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop. 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. Installation calls for sawing a 3/16" slot 1" deep into existing asphalt or concrete, laying the loop in the slot, and sealing it, with no hand-winding or turn counting required. 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:

• 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
• Designed for vehicle detection with gate operators, parking barrier gates, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
