National Loop Co. 24' (4' X 8') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 12' Wide Driveways - X-NL12-14-175

Built for sites where saw-cutting is not an option, the National Loop Co. 24' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In is a preformed 14 AWG loop encased in liquid-tight conduit. Connected to a loop detector, it reports every vehicle that crosses the sensing area, giving the gate operator the non-contact detection that fills one of the two UL 325 entrapment protection slots. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. With the 8' side crossing the lane and about 2' of clearance per edge, and the 4' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits comfortable single-car driveways, newer suburban builds, and small business side lots.

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
