National Loop Co. 38' (6' X 13') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 19' Wide Driveways - X-NL19-18-200

Built for retrofitting an existing paved driveway, the National Loop Co. 38' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG inductive loop ready to lay into a saw-cut slot. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for automated gates. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 3/16" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. With the 13' 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 2-car drives with extra walkway room and estate-style rural homes.

Features:

• 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
• 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
