National Loop Co. 46' (6' X 17') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 23' Wide Driveways - X-NL23-18-20

The National Loop Co. 46' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive vehicle detection loop that arrives ready to drop into a saw-cut slot. Wired to compatible automated system, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. Setup is a 3-step process: saw a 3/16" slot 1" deep in the pavement, press the loop in, and seal over it. Its 17' 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 oversized residential drives and small business/customer entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
