National Loop Co. 16' (2' X 6') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 8' Wide Driveways - X-NL08-14

Because it ships fully assembled in heavy-duty conduit, the National Loop Co. 16' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is ready to lay down the moment the sub-base is graded. 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. Installation is a lay-and-pave job: set the loop on the graded sub-base, run the lead-in to the detector, and let the paving crew cover it. Its 6' side spans the travel lane while the 2' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 1' 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
