National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - E-NL38-18-225

Placed before the paving crew arrives, the National Loop Co. 76' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 225' Lead-In is an 18 AWG inductive loop that disappears under the finished surface. Wired to a compatible loop detector, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. Because it ships encased in heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit, the loop lays directly on the graded sub-base and is then paved over under fresh asphalt, concrete, or gravel. Across the 32' side it watches the full lane width, and down the 6' side it follows each vehicle's path, leaving about 3' of clearance at each edge for wide equipment yards, grain elevators, agricultural co-op entrances, and large commercial plaza entries.

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
