IMPORTANT: Clear an area 20 feet in all directions of metal tools, toys and automobiles, to prevent magnetic disturbance
during testing and installation.

Determining Transmitter and Receiver Location
For Optimum Performance:
•LocatetheTRANSMITTERasfaraspossibleawayfrompowertransformers,powerlines,
undergroundgasline,andtelephonelines.
•LocatetheTRANSMITTERawayfromgeneralmovingtrafctopreventunwantedactivation.
RememberthattheTRANSMITTERdetectsMAGNETICDISTURBANCEScausedbyavehicle’s
massandvelocity.
NOTE: Place the transmitter immediately next to the driveway
to maximize the range.
