National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - X-NL8.5-14-150

Because it ships fully assembled in heavy-duty conduit, the National Loop Co. 17' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 150' Lead-In is ready to lay down the moment the sub-base is graded. 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. Crews place the loop on the prepared sub-base before paving, and the new asphalt, concrete, or gravel surface locks it in place. With the 6' side crossing the lane and about 1' 3" of clearance per edge, and the 2.5' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
