National Loop Co. 36' (6' X 12') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 18' Wide Driveways - X-NL18-18-100

Contractors reach for the National Loop Co. 36' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In when an existing asphalt or concrete drive needs reliable vehicle detection. 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. Installers saw a 3/16" by 1" deep slot into the existing surface, drop the prewound loop in, and seal the slot against moisture. With the 12' side crossing the lane and about 3' of clearance per edge, and the 6' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits roomy 2-car driveways and small commercial entries.

Features:

• Wound from one continuous, non-spliced length of Polypropylene-insulated wire, leaving no splice point between the loop and lead-in to fail
• Predetermined number of machine-wound turns removes the guesswork of achieving optimal read range
• Neatly stacked turns accept loop sealant completely, locking out moisture for long service life
• Optimizes read range, eliminates faulty signals, and minimizes callbacks
• 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
