SOS Gate Trigger Installation Instructions

Mounting the Unit

1. Identify where you are going to mount the SOS Gate Trigger. This location should be inside the
fenced perimeter where outsiders are not able to easily access the unit. The antenna should have
a clear line of sight to the desired trigger area. Also excess noise will interfere with operation of
the "YELP" sensor so do not put it inside the gate motor enclosure or close to noisy machinery.
2. Remove the face place of the SOS Gate Trigger.
3. Using the screws provided, mount the SOS SILENT unit right side up with the antenna wire coming
out of the bottom of the enclosure. The enclosure has four pre-drilled holes for mounting.
Mounting the unit sideways or upside down can cause water damage and WATER DAMAGE will
void the warranty. If additional holes are drilled into the enclosure or if you use the small knock-
out hole in the bottom for wires, make these holes water tight with silicone.
