National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - X-NL17-14-125

Contractors laying new asphalt, concrete, or gravel can set the National Loop Co. 34' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 125' Lead-In directly on the sub-base and pave right over it. 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. Its 12' side spans the travel lane while the 5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 2' 6" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to 2-car drives in newer subdivisions and homes with boat or trailer parking.

Features:

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