National Loop Co. 46' (6' X 17') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 75' Lead-In for 23' Wide Driveways - K-NL23-14-75

Designed to be paved over, the National Loop Co. 46' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 75' 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. Since the conduit protects the wire, the loop sits directly on the sub-base and gets buried under the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface. With the 17' 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 oversized residential drives and small business/customer entrances.

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
