National Loop Co. 52' (6' X 20') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 26' Wide Driveways - X-NL26-18-150

Wound from one continuous length of 18 AWG wire, the National Loop Co. 52' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In installs in an existing paved surface through a simple saw-cut slot. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. 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 20' 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 3-car-wide residential drives and light commercial entries.

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
