National Loop Co. 84' (6' X 36') Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In for 42' Wide Driveways - K-NL42-14

Contractors laying new asphalt, concrete, or gravel can set the National Loop Co. 84' Direct Burial Vehicle Detection Loop with Custom Length Lead-In directly on the sub-base and pave right over it. Working through a compatible loop detector, it detects the metal mass of vehicles above, satisfying the non-contact detection that UL 325 lists as one of its two required means of entrapment protection. 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. With the 36' 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 wide industrial driveways, truck wash facilities, and large church or school parking lot 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
