Mounting the Sensors
Proper sensor placement ensures reliable detection․ Begin by selecting a stable mounting surface—preferably a curb, post, or concrete slab—within 1–2 feet of the driveway entrance․ The sensor’s head should face the center of the driveway to capture all approaching vehicles․ Use the included mounting bracket and screws; tighten them securely but avoid overtightening, which could crack the bracket or damage the sensor housing․ If mounting on a curb, drill a pilot hole that matches the screw diameter, then insert the screw and secure the bracket․ For post mounting, ensure the post is at least 12 inches tall and free of paint or rust that could interfere with the sensor’s magnetic field․ After securing the bracket, attach the sensor head, aligning the sensor’s magnetic strip with the receiver’s magnetic field․ Verify alignment by checking the LED indicator on the receiver; a steady green light indicates proper alignment․ Finally, use a level to confirm the sensor is horizontal, then tighten all connections․ Once mounted, test the sensor by placing a small object on the driveway; the receiver should flash red, confirming a successful installation․ Proper mounting not only improves detection accuracy but also protects the sensor from weather and accidental damage, extending its service life․
After mounting, inspect the sensor’s cable for any kinks or sharp bends; straighten them gently to maintain signal integrity․ Route the cable along the curb or post, securing it with cable ties every 12 inches to prevent strain․ Ensure the cable does not cross any high‑current power lines or metal objects that could interfere with the magnetic field․ If the sensor is installed outdoors, apply a weatherproof sealant around the mounting points to prevent water ingress․ Check the sensor’s battery compartment; replace the battery if the indicator shows low power․ Finally, document the installation location in the system log via the app for future reference․ This documentation aids in troubleshooting and maintenance scheduling․ Carefully․
