3. Install Sensor and Transmitter Module
IMPORTANT: Clear an area 25 ft. in all directions of metal tools, toys, and automobiles to prevent magnetic disturbance
during testing and installation.
Step 1: Dig a hole for the Sensor, 1 ft. deep and 1 ft. long. Be sure the hole is flat and parallel to the direction of the
driveway and not more than 2 ft. away from the driveway.
Step 2: Dig a trench in which to lay the Sensor Cable from this hole to where you will install the Transmitter Module.
The trench should be at least 6 in. deep to prevent possible wire damage from edgers, lawn
aerators, etc.
Step 3: Lay the Sensor in the hole parallel to the driveway and the Sensor Cable in the trench. Do not fill/cover the hole
or trench until the Transmitter Module signal has been tested (page 3). If you don’t use all of the Sensor Cable, coil the
extra cable beside the Mounting Post.
Step 4: Assemble the Mounting Post using the coupler to connect the two longer pieces.
Step 5: Run the Sensor Cable (B) through the Mounting Post (A) and plug
it into the connector at the bottom of the Transmitter Module
(C). Allow 2 in.
slack in the cable to prevent damage to the connector if Transmitter Module is
removed.
Step 6: Attach the Transmitter Module to the Mounting Post. At this point, you
can put the Mounting Post in the ground, but don’t fill the hole until after testing
(page 3).
Transmitter Module

Leave 2" of wire slack
