National Loop Co. 28' (4' X 10') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 14' Wide Driveways - E-NL14-18

The National Loop Co. 28' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop that arrives preformed and ready to install, with its lead-in attached as part of the same continuous wire. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. Crews place the loop on the prepared sub-base before paving, and the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface locks it in place. With the 10' side crossing the lane and about 2' of clearance per edge, and the 4' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits wide single-car or tight 2-car driveways and long rural drives.

Features:

• Heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit shields the loop from sharp stones, chemicals, ground heaving, and harsh weather
• Fully assembled at the factory, so there is nothing to wind, count, or connect before paving
• Predetermined number of turns removes the guesswork of achieving optimal read range
• 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 wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
