National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - E-NL8.5-18-30

Skip the slot cutting entirely: the National Loop Co. 17' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 30' 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. 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. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2.5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' 3" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
