The
Sensor/Probe portion
of a DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO senses the vehicle and should to be placed less than 3 feet of
Zone/area you wish to monitor moving vehicles or assets (the closer the better).
The Transmitter portion
contains the electronics
inside the black box.
The Sensor and Transmitter operates on 2 - AA batteries providing 3.0 volts DC to the electronics. We highly recommend Lithium
batteries for longer use and better reliability in cold conditions. Please observe polarity when installing (see next page). Typical
battery life is 1-2 years in a residential installation. The Transmitter sends a continuous signal for about 1 minute after the power
switch is turned on, and then is ready to act on Sensor inputs. When the battery voltage reaches 2.7 volts, a low battery signal is
sent to the Control Panel/Receiver in the home/business and the LO BATT LED on the Control Panel/Receiver will be lit to indicate
the batteries should be replaced soon. After installing batteries and confirming operation, the top cover can be put back on the en-
closure
with careful attention to keeping the gasket in place and not over-tightening the screws on the cover which would cause
the case to crack, and also NOT wiping off the thin layer of silicone oil on the underside of the cover. Failing to do either will
result in moisture entering the enclosure.
The Sensor/Transmitter can now be placed in position.
For maximum range, the black box
Transmitter portion
of the DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO should be placed 3 to 4 feet
above ground on a post, tree, etc.. The front of the Transmitter Box should also face the Control Panel/Receiver in the home/
business for best range. If the black box transmitter is on the ground the range will be 500 feet, but if it’s 3 to 4 feet off the ground
the range jumps to 1000’.
Make sure the
Sensor
and
Transmitter Box
are at least 50 feet from streets or roads, and 40 feet from power lines.
Test
the system using a vehicle to pass by the Sensor at 5 to 10 MPH, or by swinging a steel object along the long side of the
Sensor. Either should set off the audible alert.
Once testing is successful, choose the final mounting locations and perform vehicle pass or waving metal near the sensor tests
repetitively for consistent detection before finalizing installation (and burying any cable if needed).
