National Loop Co. 36' (6' X 12') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 18' Wide Driveways - X-NL18-14

Sized to match a specific driveway width, the National Loop Co. 36' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a factory-wound 14 AWG loop for pave-over vehicle detection. 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. With the 12' side crossing the lane and about 3' of clearance per edge, and the 6' side capturing vehicles in the direction of travel, the layout fits roomy 2-car driveways and small commercial entries.

Features:

• 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
• One continuous, non-spliced wire runs through the loop turns and lead-in, eliminating splice failures
