The DCPA-2500 is a driveway alarm kit that is used to
detect vehicles only. The transmitter operates on four cr123a batteries
(included) and has 50’ of direct burial wire connecting the probe to the
exterior case. The probe is buried parallel to the driveway, and will detect
vehicles passing by within approximately 10-12 feet. The direct burial cable
can be run to a tree or post nearby, where the transmitter box is located. When
a vehicle drives by, the transmitter will send a signal to the DCR-2500 receiver
up to ˝ a mile away. *
The DCPA-2500 is ideal in locations where
there may be deer or other large animals that would cause false signals with a
motion detecting system. Also, because the probe is buried underground, it will
be the least noticeable of our wireless systems. The transmitter is
weatherproof and meant for exterior locations.
The DCR-2500 receiver has four form “C”
relay outputs and one 12VDC output. The output durations are adjustable up to
10 minutes. The receiver will play one of four different tunes that are
selected at the transmitter so that different zones can be distinguished. The
receiver is powered by a 12VDC transformer. The receiver also offers a 5-minute
exit delay so you can leave the house without disturbing any occupants as well
as a reminder beep and counter function.
Operating Range: -30°F to 120°F
*Actual range will vary depending on the
environment.
