One of the biggest advantages of this device is there is nothing above ground and there is nothing below the driveway. The sensor gets buried parallel to the driveway, eliminating the need to saw cut the driveway to insert a loop or run wire beneath it. The fact that there is nothing above ground means that there aren't any obstacles to mow around or inform strangers that there is a way to trigger the gate from the inside. The range on the sensor is 15 feet and there are 4 options for the amount of wire pre-attached to the wand to run back to the gate opener: 50 feet, 100 feet, 150 feet, 200 feet (select option above). The wire cannot be extended, only shortened, so be sure to purchase the maximum amount for which there is room in case it is later decided to extend the exit sensor the full distance the property will allow. Remember that the further back the exit sensor is, the more time the gate will have to open and the less a vehicle will have to slow down as it approaches the gate.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Is this product easy to install by myself?
It gets buried parallel to the driveway instead of under it like a loop, making installation a breeze.

2. Is customer service offered in case I have questions?
Of course, this is our specialty. Call us any time 9am to 9pm EST at 1-800-537-4283.

3. Will a dog collar, or bicycle open the gate?
If it has metal on it, there is a possibility it will trigger the sensor since it detects moving metal.

4. What if the driveway is wider than 18'?
The sensor detects moving metal from the side, so as long as the vehicle is driving down the side of the driveway with the sensor, it should detect the vehicle.

5. Will rain, snow, or any other weather condition prevent it from functioning properly?
No. It works on electromagnetism, so the only weather condition that has the possibility of making the sensor malfunction is an electrical storm.
