National Loop Co. 72' (6' X 30') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In for 36' Wide Driveways - E-NL36-18-100

Every new paving project gains reliable vehicle detection with the National Loop Co. 72' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 100' Lead-In, a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop. 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. With the 30' 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 truck yards, heavy equipment facilities, and agricultural processing entrances.

Features:

• 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
• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
