National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - K-NL12-14-50

The National Loop Co. 24' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In is a 14 AWG inductive loop that arrives preformed and ready to install, with its lead-in attached as part of the same continuous wire. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. Installation is a lay-and-pave job: set the loop on the graded sub-base, run the lead-in to the detector, and let the paving crew cover it. The 8' side covers the travel lane with roughly 2' of clearance on each side, and the 4' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

Features:

• 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
• Wound from one continuous, non-spliced wire, leaving no splice point between the loop and lead-in to fail
• 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
