National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - X-NL17-18-150

Made for gate and access-control upgrades, the National Loop Co. 34' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop, machine-wound and ready to seal into existing pavement. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. The install method is a 3/16" wide, 1" deep saw cut in the existing asphalt or concrete, with the loop laid in and sealed to finish the job. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' 6" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

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
