Instruction Manual
The OWL is a vehicle motion and presence sensor that utilizes microwave and infrared technology to
activate automatic doors and industrial gates. The OWL's microwave sensor detects moving vehicles, while
the infrared presence sensor can detect vehicles and pedestrians. The sensor features two relay outputs,
one for vehicle motion detection, and the other for presence detection. The OWL features settings for fine-
tuning the presence detection area, direction detection, hold time, and more.
The OWL-RC remote control is required for programming and servicing the OWL.
Cautions and Warnings
Install the OWL according to instructions from the door operator manufacturer. Comply
with all applicable codes and safety regulations.
When drilling, ensure no damage can be caused in desired mounting location, e.g. hidden
wires, waterlines, etc.
