Mounting
Thank you for purchasing the GTO Driveway Alarm. Please read the directions carefully and completely
before installing.
How it works:
The Transmitter - Sensor:
The operating voltage for the transmitter is 3V from two alkaline 'AA Size' batteries (not included) inside
the transmitter. In cold weather lithium-alkaline batteries will perform best. There is no power switch for
this unit. Once the batteries are installed, the unit starts to function.
at the mounting location to ensure proper calibration of the sensor. You should install the batteries at the location by removing the
transmitter cover and then replacing it.
400 ft. (at 433MHz). The range may vary depending on environmental conditions such as RF interference,
topography and construction of the building.
The Receiver:
The receiver is powered by an external power adaptor (AC120V 60Hz / DC 12V 100 mA). A rotary switch
controls the alert buzzer's volume on the receiver. There are three LEDs on the front panel of the cabinet,
representing power (red), visitor alert (green) and low battery (red). A "RESET" button on the front panel is
used to clear the alert LED after it has registered passing vehicles.
