National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - E-NL09-18-50

Contractors laying new asphalt, concrete, or gravel can set the National Loop Co. 18' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In directly on the sub-base and pave right over it. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for automated gates. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. 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:

• Wound from one continuous, non-spliced wire, leaving no splice point between the loop and lead-in to fail
• 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
