National Loop Co. 68' (6' X 28') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In for 34' Wide Driveways - X-NL34-18-30

Gate installers can turn an existing driveway into part of the safety system with the National Loop Co. 68' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop. 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. Installation calls for sawing a 3/16" slot 1" deep into existing asphalt or concrete, laying the loop in the slot, and sealing it, with no hand-winding or turn counting required. With the 28' 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 industrial or municipal lots and large estate entrances.

Features:

• 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
• Provides the non-contact vehicle detection UL 325 gate systems count toward their two required means of entrapment protection
• 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
