National Loop Co. 76' (6' X 32') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 38' Wide Driveways - K-NL38-14

Skip the slot cutting entirely: the National Loop Co. 76' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In lays on the sub-base and gets paved over with the new 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. 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. The 32' side covers the travel lane with roughly 3' of clearance on each side, and the 6' side reads vehicles as they roll through, making it a fit for wide equipment yards, grain elevators, agricultural co-op entrances, and large commercial plaza entries.

Features:

• 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
• 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
