National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - X-NL8.5-18-225

Designed to sense vehicles without any surface teardown, the National Loop Co. 17' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop that drops 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. 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 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 3" of clearance per edge, and the 2.5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
