National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - E-NL09-18-225

Built for sites where saw-cutting is not an option, the National Loop Co. 18' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG loop encased in liquid-tight conduit. 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. Installation is a lay-and-pave job: set the loop on the graded sub-base, run the lead-in to the detector, and let the paving crew cover it. 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:

• 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
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
• 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
