National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - X-NL38-18-20

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 76' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 20' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops into a saw-cut slot. 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. The install method is a 3/16" wide, 1" deep saw cut in the existing asphalt or concrete, with the loop laid in and sealed to finish the job. With the 32' 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 wide equipment yards, grain elevators, agricultural co-op entrances, and large commercial plaza entries.

Features:

• 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
• Fills the non-contact detection role UL 325 assigns to vehicle loops in a 2-device entrapment protection system
