INSTALLATION OVERVIEW
-
The SENSOR is designed to detect iron-based metal in motion.
-
The SENSOR’s ability to detect iron-based metal objects is based on the mass, velocity and proximity of the object to the sensor.
EXAMPLE – A child’s bicycle moving at 2 mph @ 1’ from the sensor has a similar effect as a car moving at 2 mph @ 6’ from the sensor. -
The SENSOR must be stationary to function properly.
WIRING THE WAND

Obtain the instruction manual for the gate opener.
-
Locate the control terminals (2) that will ONLY OPEN the gate.

Verify that the above inputs when shorted (a small wire connecting the 2 terminals) will do all of the following:
• OPEN the gate if the gate is idle.
• STOP and then OPEN the gate if the gate is closing.
• DO NOTHING if the gate is opening.
