National Loop Co. 30' (4' X 11') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 15' Wide Driveways - E-NL15-18-100

For driveways getting a fresh surface, the National Loop Co. 30' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In provides vehicle detection without cutting into the finished pavement. 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. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. Its 11' 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 2-car driveways on modest suburban lots.

Features:

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