Installation Instructions
TESTING THE CONTROL UNIT BOARD:
a. Move some type of steel object like a screw driver along the sensor (shown).
b. Observe that the yellow “DETECT” LED turns ON and the
green “XMIT” LED is blinking for 1 second.
INSTALLING YOUR WIRELESS VEHICLE
SENSOR PROBE AND CONTROL UNIT:
STEP 1: PLAN YOUR INSTALLATION LOCATION FOR THE
BEST RADIO FREQUENCY RANGE
a. Make sure your gate is in the CLOSED POSITION and opener is OFF to avoid accidental opening of the gate.
b. Install two (2) C sized batteries into the head unit.
c. Measure and lay the sensor probe on the ground at least 20 ft from gate and prop up the Control Unit Board at least 6”
above ground.
d. Make sure there are no vehicles or steel or metal near the sensor and turn the operator on.
e. Move a steel object over the sensor probe or press and release the push button on the Control Unit Board to send the
“OPEN” signal to the gate.
f. The green “XMIT” LED will start blinking rapidly and the yellow “DETECT” LED will stay lit for 1 second to indicate that
the “OPEN” signal is being sent.
g. The gate should be opening when it receives the signal from the wireless vehicle sensor.
h. Once the desired location is located, REMOVE THE BATTERY FROM THE CONTROL UNIT BEFORE PROCEEDING.
STEP 2. DIG A TRENCH FOR THE SENSOR PROBE AND WIRE:
a. Dig a trench approximately 12” deep to bury the Sensor Probe.
b. Dig a trench to bury the wire between the Sensor Probe and the Control Unit.
STEP 3. DIG A HOLE FOR THE CONTROL UNIT:
a. Dig a hole 5-6” deep for the Control Unit’s PVC pipe.
b. Optional: Rebar can be used as additional stability and support for the Control Unit.
GATE SHOULD BE CLOSED. IF NOT CLOSE IT BEFORE CONTINUING.
STEP 4. TEST THE SENSOR BY DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE DOWN THE DRIVEWAY:
a. Install the C-Sized batteries back into the Control Unit and observe that ALL LED’s turn ON for 1 second then turn o.
b. Slowly drive pass the Sensor Probe and verify that the wireless vehicle sensor opens the gate.
c. Reinstall the cover for the Control Unit.
FILL IN THE TRENCH AND HOLE:
a. After verifying that the vehicle sensor is functioning properly, fill in the trench and the hole.
