Decreasing the velocity from 20mph to Wmph increases the
detection range by 3ft for both cases above.
For best results, use the following guidelines to place your sensor.
Use the figure provided as a guide. Placing the sensor as Indicated
will ensure W0% detection accuracy for all types of vehicles.
Place the sensor...
1. At most 3ft from the driveway.
The sensor will not trigger if the car lane on the driveway is outside
the range of detection. The sensor will trigger W0% of the time as
long as the vehicle passes through the INSIDE of the detection range.
2. At least 25ft (about 10 paces) from the street.
Placing the sensor too close to the street may lead to false
triggering as vehicles drive by.
Keep the sensor away from snow plows, lawn mowers and other
equipment Magnetic fields penetrate snow so there is no need
to plow around the sensor unit during winter months.

The sensor is packaged with a stake and length-extending
attachment For best results, use both the stake and
attachment to keep the sensor as high off the ground
as possible. Doing so will ensure that vehicles with
a high profile are detected (e.g. SUVsj.
Make sure the mounting location ground is hard enough
to support the sensor and that the area is not susceptible
to rain water collection. Assemble the unit as shown on
