National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - E-NL17-18-200

Designed to be paved over, the National Loop Co. 34' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop for new-surface installations. 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. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' 6" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

Features:

• 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
• Designed for vehicle detection with gate operators, parking barrier gates, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
