Installation Instructions:
The Solar Sensor Transmitter must be placed in an area that receives partial or full sunlight. For both models, be sure the
location of the sensor transmitter is at least 25’ back from the main road. For a typical 12’ wide driveway, it is recommended
the sensor transmitter be no more than 3’ away from the driveway (see drawing). Additional sensor transmitters may be required
for driveways exceeding 12’. Sensor transmitter may be placed up to 1,000 feet away from receiver; however, range may vary
depending upon environment and use of wireless telephones, wireless routers and other similar devices.

1. Place cap on tube.
2. Insert stake to opposite end of tube.
3. Place the tube (stake side down) into the ground within 3’ of the driveway
and more than 25’ from the road.
4. Gently hammer the cap side of the tube until stake is firmly in the ground.
5. Remove cap and place sensor transmitter on tube.
6. The sensor transmitter should have a clear line-of-site to the receiver to
improve performance.
7. Place the sensor transmitter so the vehicle does not pass between it and
the receiver.
To obtain optimal range:
STI recommends the use of the stake and tube included with your Driveway
Monitor. However, if you choose to mount the unit to an alternate mounting
device, please be sure the device is stable. STI
does not recommend
mounting the sensor transmitter to a tree or a metal fence or gate.
TROUBLE SOLUTION
1. Check that the receiver is not in Temporary or Permanent Silent Mode (red LED solid).
2. Check the sensor transmitter by picking it up and rotating it. The sensor transmitter should make
a “faint clicking” noise.
3. Check that the sensor transmitter and receiver are within operating distance from each other.
4. Check the sensor transmitter batteries and replace if necessary.
5. Reprogram the receiver using the steps in “Clearing the receiver memory” and “Program a device
into the receiver.”
The RECEIVER does
not sound when a
vehicle passes.
1. Check that the sensor transmitter and receiver are within operating distance from each other.
2. Change the Sensitivity in the sensor transmitter using the steps in “Sensitivity Adjustment.”
3. Check that the sensor transmitter and receiver are located so a vehicle does not pass between
them.
4. Change the location of the sensor transmitter by placing it closer to the edge of the driveway.
5. Bring the sensor transmitter close enough to the receiver so the receiver button is visible. Test the
sensor transmitter by passing a steel shovel or large magnet around the sensor transmitter. The
sensor transmitter should make a “faint clicking” noise and the red LED on the receiver should
flash.
6. Check the sensor transmitter batteries and replace if necessary. On the solar powered driveway
monitor, make sure the sensor transmitter is in direct sunlight and has been charged in direct
sunlight for at least 48 hours after replacing batteries. Use only AA (1.2v) NiMH rechargeable
batteries.
7. Reprogram the receiver using the steps in “Clearing the receiver memory” and “Program a device
into the receiver.”
The SENSOR
TRANSMITTER does
not activate when a
car passes.
1. Sensor transmitter mounted firmly and not effected by wind?
2. Sensor transmitter at least 25’ away from the main road?
3. Be sure there are no other metal objects near the sensor transmitter that may move.
4. Reprogram the receiver using the steps in “Clearing the receiver memory” and “Program a device
into the receiver.”
The RECEIVER sounds
when there is no
vehicle passing.
