National Loop Co. 88' (6' X 38') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 44' Wide Driveways - E-NL44-18-175

Designed to be paved over, the National Loop Co. 88' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In is a preformed 18 AWG inductive loop for new-surface installations. 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. Crews place the loop on the prepared sub-base before paving, and the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface locks it in place. With the 38' 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 logistics/warehouse entrances, large farm commodity yards, and wide municipal 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
