National Loop Co. 32' (4' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 16' Wide Driveways - E-NL16-18-50

Designed to be paved over, the National Loop Co. 32' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop for new-surface installations. 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. Installation is a lay-and-pave job: set the loop on the graded sub-base, run the lead-in to the detector, and let the paving crew cover it. Its 12' 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 common 2-car suburban driveways and small apartment building lots.

Features:

• 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
• One continuous, non-spliced wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
