National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - X-NL38-18-150

Made for gate and access-control upgrades, the National Loop Co. 76' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop, machine-wound and ready to seal into existing pavement. 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. 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 32' 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 wide equipment yards, grain elevators, agricultural co-op entrances, and large commercial plaza entries.

Features:

• 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
• 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
