B. Observe that the yellow “DETECT” LED turns ON and the green “XMIT” LED is blinking for 1 second. (Shown in
Step 3B.) This LED sequence indicates that the Vehicle Sensor has detected the metal and is transmitting.
4. INSTALLING YOUR WIRELESS VEHICLE SENSOR PROBE AND CONTROL
UNIT (REMOVE THE (2) C SIZE BATTERIES FOR THIS STEP):
PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR THE BEST RADIO FREQUENCY RANGE
A. Make sure your gate is in the CLOSED POSITION and opener is OFF to avoid accidental opening of the gate.
B. Complete steps 1–3 as shown previously.
C. Measure and lay the sensor probe on the ground, next to driveway, and at least 20 feet from the open edge of the
gate. We recommend placing sensor closest to side of driveway that vehicle exits. Prop up the Control Unit Board
at least 6
"
above ground.
D. INSTALL THE BATTERIES INTO THE CONTROL UNIT and wait for the LEDs to stop blinking before continuing.
E. Make sure there are no vehicles or steel or metal objects near the sensor. Turn the gate opener system on.
F. Move a steel object over the sensor probe (repeating Step 3A)
OR
press and quickly release the push button on
the Vehicle Sensor Control Unit Board to send the “OPEN” signal to the gate.
G. The green “XMIT” LED on the Vehicle Control Unit Board will start blinking rapidly and the yellow “DETECT”
LED will stay lit for 1 second to indicate that the “OPEN” signal is being sent.
H. The gate should open when it receives the signal from the wireless vehicle sensor.
I. Once the desired location is located,
REMOVE THE BATTERIES FROM THE CONTROL UNIT BEFORE PROCEEDING
.
DIG A TRENCH FOR THE SENSOR PROBE AND WIRE:
A. Dig a trench approximately 12
"
deep to bury the Sensor Probe. In most cases, the sensor should lie in trench
horizontally and parallel to the driveway.
B. Dig a trench to bury the wire between the Sensor Probe and the Control Unit.
