National Loop Co. 48' (6' X 18') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 24' Wide Driveways - E-NL24-18-100

Skip the slot cutting entirely: the National Loop Co. 48' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In lays on the sub-base and gets paved over with the new surface. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. 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 18' 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 2-car plus full walkway and church or small office lot entries.

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
