A gate opener control box is beside the gate. The buried sensor is beyond the open-gate area. Labels and dimensions: “Open Gate Outside Sensor Range”; “Minimum of 25 feet”; “PVC conduit in ground and up to control box recommended”; “SENSOR: 2 feet from driveway edge and 1 foot in ground”; sensor burial dimension “12””; sensor length dimension “24”.” - The SENSOR is designed to detect iron-based metal **in motion**. - The SENSOR’s ability to detect iron-based metal objects is based on the mass, velocity and proximity of the object to the sensor. **EXAMPLE** - A child’s bicycle moving at 2 mph @ 1’ from the sensor has a similar effect as a car moving at 2 mph @ 6’ from the sensor. - The SENSOR must be stationary to function properly. > Figure: Overhead driveway diagram showing sensor detection range. Labels: “RANGE: 12 ft. radius (max)”; “SENSOR: 2 ft. from Driveway (max) and 12 in. deep”; “25 ft. from gate (min)”; “Open Gate Outside Sensor Range”; “Driveway”; “Gate Opener Control Box (allow 5 ft. for wiring to Control Box).” Concentric range circles radiate from the sensor. Arrows identify the sensor, gate, control box, and 25-foot minimum distance. # WIRING THE WAND 1. Obtain the instruction manual for the gate opener. 2. Locate the control terminals (2) that will **ONLY OPEN the gate**. 3. Verify that the above inputs when shorted (a small wire connecting the 2 terminals) will do all of the following: - **OPEN** the gate if the gate is idle. - **STOP** and then **OPEN** the gate if gate is closing. - **DO NOTHING** if the gate is opening. > Figure: Wand wiring diagram. Sensor cable has: > > - **Black** and **Blue** wires: “RELAY OUTPUT,” connected to “TO OPEN ONLY INPUT OF GATE OPENER CONTROL.” Text: “Normally open relay contacts, closes for 2 seconds when moving vehicle is detected.” > - **Red** wire: positive (+) power input. > - **Braided Ground** and **Yellow** wire: negative (–) power input. > - Power input specification: “11-30 Vdc or 8-26 Vac.” > > Arrows show Black and Blue routed to relay output, Red to positive, and Braided Ground and Yellow to negative. > Figure: Important warning box with exclamation icon. “IMPORTANT — DO NOT CONNECT THE POWER INPUT WIRES TO THE POWER SOURCE (i.e. 12 V battery) UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.” GTO Exit Wand Instructions 12.28.11 2 ## Page 3 # TURN GATE OPENER OFF 4. Connect the **BLACK** to the terminal labeled **COMMON**, and the **BLUE** wire to terminal in **STEP 3** to open gate. > Figure: Battery wiring drawing. Labels and connections: > > - “Battery Cable RED (+)” > - “Battery Cable BLACK (-)” > - “Double Spade Connectors included with SENSOR” > - “YELLOW wire from SENSOR CABLE” > - “BRAIDED GROUND from SENSOR Cable” > - “RED wire from SENSOR Cable” > - “BLACK BATTERY CONNECTION WIRE with Spade Connector included with SENSOR” > - “RED BATTERY CONNECTION WIRE with Spade Connector included with SENSOR” > > Yellow wire and braided ground join the black battery connection wire at the negative battery cable using wire nuts. Red wire joins the red battery connection wire at the positive battery cable using a wire nut. Double spade connectors are shown at the battery terminals. 5. Connect the **POWER INPUT** wires to power source. - Connect the **YELLOW** and **BRAIDED GROUND** wires to the **(-) NEGATIVE** side of power source. (i.e. battery) - Connect the **RED** wire to the **(+) POSITIVE** side of power source. (i.e. battery) > Figure: Important warning box with exclamation icon. “IMPORTANT — WHEN THE WAND IS FIRST POWERED UP IT MUST BE UNDISTURBED FOR 60 SECONDS TO PERFORM THE SELF TEST AND CALIBRATIONS. BEFORE POWERING THE WAND MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO MOVING METAL OBJECTS OR MOVING VEHICLES WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE WAND.” 6. Turn opener **ON** and **TEST**. # WIRING DIAGRAM EXAMPLES **NOTE: Power Input Connections Not Shown.** *(See gate instruction manual for complete instructions)* > Figure: Six gate-opener control-board wiring examples. In each diagram, Black sensor-cable wire connects to a COMMON terminal, and Blue sensor-cable wire connects to the specified opening terminal. > > 1.
