connected to the momentary input terminals of the gate operator, typically the key pad input or RF 
radio receiver input. The time adjustment for the relay adjustment "A" should be set at its minimum 
setting (see “Adjusting Sounder (Annunciator) Time” on page 2). Longer relay time may be 
necessary for those installations where the vehicle stops, then restarts near the sensor probe after 
the gate is open.

In addition to tripping the gate operator, the CT-2BG can be used to trip a sounder inside the home. 

Run a wire to the gate operator from the home and use the extra set of relay contacts (terminals 8 
and 9, see Figure 1 on page 1) to trip the sounder inside the home. For more information, contact 
technical support by calling

See Figure 1 on page 1.  
You will need two things to have a successful installation: 
1.The manual for your home automation or security panel
2.A resistor (consult your manual for the correct size)
The CT-2B has a floating, dry relay contact.

Note: 

Use the power supply that came with the CT-2B to power it rather than relying on the

home automation or security panel for power. 

Use two wires to connect the CT-2B to a single zone on your panel. If your system’s contacts are 

normally closed, use terminals 5 & 6 on the CT-2B. At your system’s panel, place a resistor between 
the terminals in parallel (see your H.A. manual for resistor size). 

If your H.A. contacts are normally open, use terminals 6 & 7 on the CT-2B and place a resistor 

between the terminals in series (see your H.A. manual for resistor size)

It is advisable to check the sensor probe assembly before and after installation in the earth. Use a 

good multimeter. With the probe wire disconnected from the control unit, measure the resistance 
between the RED and BLACK leads. It should read between 500 and 800 ohms for a single probe. 
Additional probes on the system will add approximately 620 ohms each. The reading should be 
stable with zero fluctuations. 

The resistance between the RED lead and the SHIELD, or the BLACK lead and the SHIELD should 

be millions of ohms. The resistance between the SHIELD drain wire and earth-ground should be 
millions of ohms.  

While making measurements to the SHIELD drain wire, do not touch the bare wire or the 

mulitmeter leads with your fingers as that will spoil the readings.  

If a bad probe is indicated, it may be an improper wire splice (see "Splicing Probe Cable" on page 

8). Before digging up the system, dig up the wire splice only, cut the wire on the probe side and 
retest the system. If the bad readings still exist, cut the cable several feet from the probe and retest. 
See "Splicing Probe Cable" on page 8 for proper splicing. Call 

us

 for further troubleshooting before 

digging up the system.
