INSTALLATION OF THE EXIT WAND
The exit wand should only be buried the minimum amount below the ground yet deep enough to avoid damage to the unit. 3" to 6" maximum is the recommended depth. It need not be buried at all if suitable protection is provided to the unit.It is not necessary to bury it in the driveway, but it will be more sensitive if it is. It can detect vehicles passing at 5 M.P.H. within 12’ of the unit. First try plugging it in and trying it before burying it. Lay it adjacent to the driveway for testing. Adjust it to the distance from the gate as desired. 100’ of wire is typically provided with the unit, but you can locate it anywhere up to the length of the wire.DO NOT open the wand box! It is factory sealed for a waterproof fit. The warranty will be voided if the box is disassembled.
Wiring the Exit Wand to GTO/Pro Gate Operators
For additional information: See page 22 (Pro1000), page 17 (SL1000), page 26 (Pro2000) of your GTO Owner’s Manual
Once you have tested the wand to your satisfaction, bury it the minimum distance possible.
DO NOT DRIVE DIRECTLY OVER WAND. IT SHOULD BE PLACED DIRECTLY BESIDE THE DRIVING SURFACE. EITHER BURIED OR SIMPLY LAYED BESIDE THE DRIVEWAY WILL WORK BEST.
Consider that cars could drive off the driveway or other earth disruption could damage the unit. The wire can be buried as deeply as you desire to protect it. Only the wand will detect vehicles.If you feel that disruption of the dirt might occur damaging the wand, place it inside a plastic pipe or under treated plywood to protect it before covering it with dirt.Always test it as you backfill the dirt. The depth of burial can affect its sensitivity.
