National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - E-NL09-18-125

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 18' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for pave-over vehicle detection. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. 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 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 3' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits suburban single-car driveways, condo/townhome parking pads, and small ranch homes.

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
