The DU3 is a vehicle detector unit with self-contained
electronics, designed for use with a drive-thru timer
system. It should be installed at the service window, not
at the menu board or speaker post.
Installation of the DU3 requires only one hole to be
drilled through the wall for cable routing, and four
screw holes for mounting the detector unit on the
outside wall of the building, near the drive-thru service
window. Its cables will be routed to the AC adapter and
the Timer Signal Processor (TSP).
Installation of the DU3 should take approximately one
hour. Follow these instructions.
