National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - X-NL8.5-18-50

Installing the National Loop Co. 17' Saw Cut Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In means sawing one slot, laying in a preformed 18 AWG loop, and sealing it. 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 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2.5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' 3" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
