National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - X-NL09-14-125

Skip the slot cutting entirely: the National Loop Co. 18' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In lays on the sub-base and gets paved over with the new surface. 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. 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. The 6' side covers the travel lane with roughly 1' 6" of clearance on each side, and the 3' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for suburban single-car driveways, condo/townhome parking pads, and small ranch homes.

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
