National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - K-NL17-14-50

Designed to be paved over, the National Loop Co. 34' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In is a preformed 14 AWG inductive loop for new-surface installations. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. 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 12' side crossing the lane and about 2' 6" of clearance per edge, and the 5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

Features:

• 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
• 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
