National Loop Co. 16' (2' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In for 8' Wide Driveways - X-NL08-14-50

For driveways getting a fresh surface, the National Loop Co. 16' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 50' Lead-In provides vehicle detection without cutting into the finished pavement. Paired with a compatible loop detector, it senses the metal mass of a passing car or truck and signals the gate operator to open, hold, or reverse, providing one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires 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:

• 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
• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• 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
