National Loop Co. 34' (5' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In for 17' Wide Driveways - X-NL17-14-200

Made for new paving projects, the National Loop Co. 34' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 200' Lead-In is a factory-wound 14 AWG loop that installs flat on the graded sub-base. Once a loop detector reads its signal, the loop covers the non-contact vehicle detection that UL 325 requires as one of the two means of entrapment protection for automated gates. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. 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:

• Works wherever vehicles need detecting: automatic gates, parking barriers, overhead doors, traffic signals, arming devices, and vehicle counters
• One continuous, non-spliced wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
• Liquid-tight conduit stands between the wire and sharp stones, chemicals, ground movement, and harsh weather
• Arrives fully assembled and ready to install under new asphalt, concrete, or gravel
• 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
