The sensor and receiver are factory set to a unique code. Before installing
the sensor outside, test the unit by rotating the driveway sensor (rotate the
sensor more than 5 feet away from the receiver). (If you listen carefully, you
will hear the sensor softly chirp like a cricket when the unit is transmitting a
signal.) The receiver will chime twice and the ALERT light will flash RED for
15 minutes.

2. Mount the Driveway Monitor stake on the side of the driveway.
3. Once the stake is in the ground, mount the driveway sensor onto the stake using
the two screws as shown in the picture below. Do not pound the stake into the
ground with the sensor attached.
Another option is to mount the sensor to a fence, tree, or post. The
higher the sensor is mounted off the ground, the better the range. The
object to which you mount the driveway sensor must not move in the
wind to avoid false triggers on windy days. Do not mount the sensor to metal objects.
Whenever a vehicle drives by, you will be notified in the house.
If you have any problems with:
• Getting the system to function,
• Getting the system to work from the end of your
driveway,
• Making the volume higher or lower ,
• Using 2 or more sensors or receivers with
your system,
• or buying additional accessories
