National Loop Co. 36' (6' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 18' Wide Driveways - E-NL18-18-175

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 36' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop for direct burial under asphalt, concrete, or gravel. 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. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. With the 12' side crossing the lane and about 3' of clearance per edge, and the 6' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits roomy 2-car driveways and small commercial entries.

Features:

• 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
• 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
