2. Refer to the diagram below for where things should be and the relative distance between the components.

Control Box

Conduit

25 Feet

7

(7.5 m)

Sensing Boundary

12 Feet (3.6 m)

2 Feet (0.6 m)
3. Prepare the necessary length of conduit to run from this point to the control box. 4. Dig a hole for the wand running parallel to your driveway. It should be about 2 feet (60 cm) long,
at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, and about 1 foot (30 cm) deep.
44

5. Dig a trench about 1 foot deep between your hole and the control box, making sure it will be able to easily accommodate your wiring conduit.
6. Place the wand in its hole and the conduit in its trench but do not cover them yet.
Note
The location has to be: · On the same side of your gate as the control box for your opener · No farther than 2 feet (60 cm) from the side of your driveway, allowing its sensor to detect
vehicles across the width of your drive while minimizing the risk of accidental damage · At least be 13 feet (4 m) from any public road and from the fully open position of your gate,
minimizing the risk of accidental activation. · Be no further than 45 feet (13.7 m) from the gate
Note
Using PVC pipe is standard. Remove any obstacles along this path and thread the cord of the exit wand through your conduit.

Once digging begins, keep any children or passersby away from the area untileverything is covered and finished.

7.5.2 Wiring

7.5.3 Testing
1. Remove any vehicle or large potentially moving metal object from the area around the exit wand. 2. Reconnect the gate opener and its control box to their power source. Wait at least 60 seconds
while the system calibrates. 3. Drive your vehicle into the exit wand’s sensing boundary to see if your gate automatically begins
to open.
Note
If the wand does not detect the vehicle, increase its sensitivity by a. disconnecting it from power b. turning the range adjustment knob counterclockwise c. reconnecting power, and d. waiting 60 seconds for the system to recalibrate.
Range Adjustment If you want to limit the ability of other objects–such as riding lawnmowers or bicycles–to automatically open the gate, test them in the same way. Use the range adjustment knob to decrease sensitivity in the same way as before, but turning it clockwise. Continue testing and adjustment until you find the best sensitivity setting for your needs.

7.5.4 Wrapping UP

1. Check that the range adjustment board is still securely placed in or near the control box and will be protected against the elements.

2. Check that all electrical connections are secure and no wiring remains exposed.

3. Replace the control box cover and tighten its fasteners.

7

4. Cover the wiring trench and the exit wand’s hole, tamping down the soil by foot.

5. Test that the exit wand still works properly once covered.

6. Place any necessary signage and begin explaining to other users how the system works and how to avoid potential entrapment or injuries in the case of an emergency or malfunction.
