National Loop Co. 26' (4' X 9') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 13' Wide Driveways - X-NL13-14-175

Built for sites where saw-cutting is not an option, the National Loop Co. 26' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In is a preformed 14 AWG loop encased in liquid-tight conduit. Teamed with a loop detector, it gives the gate operator the presence detection UL 325 counts as one of its two means of entrapment protection, so the gate reverses or holds open while a vehicle sits in the path. Because it ships encased in heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit, the loop lays directly on the graded sub-base and is then paved over under fresh asphalt, concrete, or gravel. With the 9' 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 single-car driveways with a walkway beside them and rural homes with truck access.

Features:

• 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
• 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
