National Loop Co. 46' (6' X 17') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 23' Wide Driveways - E-NL23-18-100

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 46' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop for direct burial under asphalt, concrete, or gravel. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. 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. With the 17' 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 oversized residential drives and small business/customer entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
