-Compatible Driveway Sensor
Features
•
For sensing Vehicles passing by.
•
Sensor continuously monitors earth’s magnetic field. When the large metal
mass of a vehicle drives by, the earth’s magnetic field is twisted. The sensor
then transmits a signal wirelessly to the control panel.
•
Immune to pets, wildlife, leaves, dust, sunlight.
•
NO DIGGING!
•
Weatherproof design handles all environments.
•
Strong, reliable RF signal.
•
3-5 year battery life on C battery.
•
Low Battery indication.
Key Instructions
•
Battery “+” face away from springs. Secure batteries
with binder.
•
Do not plug drain & air holes. Do not overtighten top.
•
Enrolling:
Put panel in RF enroll mode.
Disconnect and then connect sensor
battery. Special transmission occurs on
power-up. Will enroll as Loop 2.
Use as a “Chime”, not an Alarm.
Supervision by panel is optional.
•
Locating Sensor:
DEVICE LOCKS OUT FOR 30 SECONDS AFTER EACH SENSING EVENT. So
wait for 40 seconds to test each time.
1.
Test max wireless range to panel, then install at no more than 2/3 of that
limit.
2.
Locate sensor close enough to driveway so that Short or Medium Catch
Radius can be used. Generally, mount sensor within 12 feet of target
vehicle. Mount more than 24 feet from street.
3.
Mount on a SOLID POST (the plastic pipe is not recommended), about
door-handle height, so wind cannot make it sway and false chime.

Generally, it shouldn’t matter which direction the sensor
head is rotated. But turning it 90 degrees may cause some
performance /-.
