1. Program DIP Switch Settings
Step 1: Remove the cover from your gate opener Entry
Transmitter. Remove the cover from the Transmitter Module.
Step 2: You will change the DIP Switch settings on the
Transmitter Module to match those of your Entry Transmitter.
For
Single Button Entry Transmitters, set the 9 DIP Switch
settings on the Transmitter Module to match the 9 DIP Switch
settings of the Entry Transmitter.
For
Dual Button Entry Transmitters, set the first 8 DIP Switch
settings on the Transmitter Module to match the 8 DIP Switch
settings of the Entry Transmitter. The 9th DIP Switch setting
(Transmitter Module) will depend on which button you use to
operate the gate (see illustration).

2. Determine Location for Sensor and Transmitter Module
NOTE: Install Transmitter Module and Sensor on the same
side of the driveway as your automatic gate opener/receiver.
Placement of SENSOR:
• No more than 2 ft. from edge of driveway.
• At least 25 ft. from leading edge of open gate, roadways,
neighboring driveways, etc.
• Parallel to direction of the driveway.
Placement of TRANSMITTER MODULE:
• No more than 100 ft. from gate opener receiver.
• Within “line of sight” of the gate opener receiver.
• Away from lawn sprinklers (Transmitter Module is water resistant,
not waterproof).
• Away from the driveway edge so that vehicles are unlikely
to hit it.
For Optimum Performance:
• Install the Sensor as far away as possible from power
transformers, power lines, underground gas lines, and
telephone lines.
• Locate the Sensor away from general moving traffic to prevent
unwanted activation (the Sensor detects magnetic disturbances
caused by a vehicle’s mass and velocity).
• It is recommended that you run the Sensor Cable inside PVC
conduit to prevent accidental damage.
• Do not run Sensor Cable in conduit with other wires such as AC
power or other control wires.
• THE SENSOR CABLE MUST NOT BE SPLICED.
