To aid in reliable transmitter installation, please follow these DO’s and DON’Ts:
TRANSMITER INSTALLATION DO’s and DON’Ts
1.
DO
mount DA-610TO enclosure or the sensor of the optional DA-611TO parallel to the driveway
2.
DON’T
point the antenna at the passing vehicle
3.
DO
mount the DA-610TO enclosure or DA-611TO sensor securely. IT MUST BE STABLE AND
MOTIONLESS! Any movement of the sensor will cause an alarm.
4.
DON’T
mount the DA-610TO on a tree. If a tree mount is needed use the optional DA-611TO.
5.
DO
avoid power surges (any lightning or power surges in the sensor area will cause false alarms)
For a simple driveway installation, the unit can be turned on and placed a few inches above the ground near the drive and the signal
will still be received by the Control Panel up to 500 feet away (line of sight).
Some mounting options are to cover it with a fake rock (see DA-ROCK1 on accessories page) or other non-metallic cover, place the
box in a nearby bush, or firmly bolt the case to a STABLE wood, plastic, or metal post. A 4X4 mailbox or fence post may be used.
The unit can be bolted inside or outside a buildings wall.
