National Loop Co. 36' (6' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 18' Wide Driveways - E-NL18-18-100

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 36' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In is a factory-wound 18 AWG loop for pave-over vehicle detection. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. Since the conduit protects the wire, the loop sits directly on the sub-base and gets buried under the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 6' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 3' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to roomy 2-car driveways and small commercial entries.

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
