National Loop Co. 20' (4' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 10' Wide Driveways - E-NL10-18-150

Contractors laying new asphalt, concrete, or gravel can set the National Loop Co. 20' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In directly on the sub-base and pave right over it. 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. Since the conduit protects the wire, the loop sits directly on the sub-base and gets buried under the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 4' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to standard single-car suburban homes, duplex driveways, and small farm entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
