National Loop Co. 32' (4' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 16' Wide Driveways - E-NL16-18-225

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 32' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop for direct burial under asphalt, concrete, or gravel. 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. 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:

• 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
• 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
