National Loop Co. 18' (3' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 9' Wide Driveways - X-NL09-14-200

For driveways getting a fresh surface, the National Loop Co. 18' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In provides vehicle detection without cutting into the finished pavement. Wired to compatible automated system, the loop counts as one of the two means of entrapment protection UL 325 requires for gate operators, detecting the metal of any vehicle over the sensing area so the gate stops or reverses before contact. 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. 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:

• Factory-set turn count means optimal read range without any on-site adjustment
• 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
