National Loop Co. 16' (2' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 8' Wide Driveways - X-NL08-14-125

The National Loop Co. 16' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' 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. 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. 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. With the 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' of clearance per edge, and the 2' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

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
