National Loop Co. 68' (6' X 28') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 34' Wide Driveways - E-NL34-18-200

Preformed and pave-ready, the National Loop Co. 68' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop for direct burial under asphalt, concrete, or gravel. 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. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. Its 28' 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 industrial or municipal lots and large estate entrances.

Features:

• 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
• 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
