National Loop Co. 72' (6' X 30') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 36' Wide Driveways - K-NL36-14

Placed before the paving crew arrives, the National Loop Co. 72' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In is a 14 AWG inductive loop that disappears under the finished surface. 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. Because it ships encased in heavy-duty, liquid-tight conduit, the loop lays directly on the graded sub-base and is then paved over under fresh asphalt, concrete, or gravel. Its 30' side spans the travel lane while the 6' side runs in the direction of traffic, leaving roughly 3' of clearance on each edge, an arrangement well suited to truck yards, heavy equipment facilities, and agricultural processing entrances.

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
