National Loop Co. 38' (6' X 13') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 19' Wide Driveways - E-NL19-18-200

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 38' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' 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. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. Its 13' 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 2-car drives with extra walkway room and estate-style rural homes.

Features:

• 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
• 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
