Driveway Alarm
Place the SENSOR immediately next to the driveway to
maximize the sensing range, but at least 25 feet from
roadways, neighbor’s driveways or large moving metal
objects.
The 15 ft. cable connecting the SENSOR and
TRANSMITTER allows for the placement of the
TRANSMITTER away from the driveway in the concealment
of landscape or closer to the RECEIVER.
The approximate transmitting range from the
TRANSMITTER to the RECEIVER is 400 ft. Range can
vary depending on environmental conditions such as RF
interference and topography. Some adjustment may be
required.
NOTE: DO NOT place the TRANSMITTER in the
direct path of a sprinkler. The module is water
resistant but not waterproof.
