National Loop Co. 32' (4' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 16' Wide Driveways - E-NL16-18-100

Placed before the paving crew arrives, the National Loop Co. 32' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop that disappears under the finished surface. Connected to a loop detector, it reports every vehicle that crosses the sensing area, giving the gate operator the non-contact detection that fills one of the two UL 325 entrapment protection slots. 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. The 12' side covers the travel lane with roughly 2' of clearance on each side, and the 4' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for common 2-car suburban driveways and small apartment building lots.

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
