National Loop Co. 42' (6' X 15') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 21' Wide Driveways - X-NL21-18-225

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 42' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for retrofit installations. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. 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 15' 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 plus guest parking and wider rural/farm gate entrances.

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
