National Loop Co. 17' (2.5' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' Lead-In for 8.5' Wide Driveways - X-NL8.5-14-175

Because it ships fully assembled in heavy-duty conduit, the National Loop Co. 17' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with 175' 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. The pave-over design means no slot cutting: the loop goes down on the graded base and the fresh surface finishes the installation. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2.5' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' 3" of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to older urban row homes, narrow driveways, and single-car gravel drives in rural areas.

Features:

• 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
• 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
