National Loop Co. 40' (6' X 14') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In for 20' Wide Driveways - X-NL20-18-250

A preformed 18 AWG inductive loop built for saw-cut installation, the National Loop Co. 40' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 250' Lead-In detects vehicles passing over the driveway. 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. Fitting takes one shallow saw cut: a 3/16" slot, 1" deep, cleaned out, filled with the loop, and sealed with loop sealant. Its 14' side spans the travel lane while the 6' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 3' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to ranch entrances, farm properties, and estate homes with dual swing gates.

Features:

• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• 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
