National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - E-NL12-18

Built for sites where saw-cutting is not an option, the National Loop Co. 24' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop encased in liquid-tight conduit. Connected to a loop detector, it reports every vehicle that crosses the sensing area, giving the gate operator the non-contact detection that fills one of the two UL 325 entrapment protection slots. Because it ships encased in heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit, the loop lays directly on the graded sub-base and is then paved over under fresh asphalt, concrete, or gravel. With the 8' 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 comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

Features:

• 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
• Liquid-tight conduit stands between the wire and sharp stones, chemicals, ground movement, and harsh weather
• Arrives fully assembled and ready to install under new asphalt, concrete, or gravel
