The plastic housing is water proof, and must be mounted externally on the inside of the gate,
close to the gate opening. It is not recommended to mount the GATE ALARM unit lower than
500mm from the ground as this will affect its RF performance and operating distance.
Check the diagram below for the best mounting position. The unit can be installed as close to
the gate motor as possible so that one can easily run a wire from the gate motor’s receiver
input to bypass the Alarm signal.
Mounting advice
Securely mount & screw the Magnet to the end of the Gate. Align the Wide Gap Reed switch as
close to the magnet as possible and securely mount & screw the unit to the wall or post of the
gate. Once this is done, position the Gate Alarm transmitter housing slightly above the reed
switch onto the wall or post.

Programming the Gate Alarm to a Receiver
1. Default the Receiver unit before you begin a new installation. This erases all
previously programmed transmitters.
2. Press the LEARN switch on the Receiver.
3. Press the TRANSMIT switch on the GATE ALARM unit.
4. The Receiver will beep twice when it learns the signal from the GATE ALARM unit.
5. Press the LEARN switch again on the receiver to exit out of learn mode. (1 x Long
beep)
Gate Alarm setup on a Alarm panel
The Gate Alarm can be installed and used like a standard Intruder zone on an alarm panel.
This means that it will transmit an Alarm signal every time the gate is opened and trigger the
receiver. The Alarm panel will only activate when the Alarm panel is armed. It is a good idea
to set the zone onto a Chime output so that the Alarm panel’s keypads chime’s a beep every
time the gate is opened.
Optional settings:
3MIN TIMEOUT jumper: This setting enables the unit to transmit an alarm signal if the gate is
left open for longer than 3 minutes. It is shown set in the diagram below.
TAMPER hard wire input: By wiring in a N.O tamper switch the unit will transmit an alarm signal
if the lid of the housing opens. This feature is optional.

Jumper Settings
1. Default the receiver unit before you begin a new installation. This erases all previously
programmed remote codes.
2. Select the 1 sec & 3 sec relay time jumpers respectively or the ON/OFF setting on both the
receiver and gate alarm.
3. Press the LEARN switch once on the receiver to enable the (ON) > (1 x beep)
4. Press the TRANSMIT button on the gate alarm unit now. (2 x short beeps will sound on the
receiver when it learns the code)
5. Press the LEARN switch on the receiver again to now enable the (OFF) > (2 x beeps)
6. Press the TRANSMIT button on the gate alarm unit again. (2 x short beeps sound on the
receiver when it learns the code)
7. To exit.. out of learn mode on the receiver press the LEARN button. > (Long beep)
If you want the Gate alarm unit to monitor the Open or Closed state of a gate or a garage
door it is easily achieved by setting the jumper to ON/OFF. Once this is done you will need to
program a receiver unit which will also need to be set on the ON/OFF jumper setting. Follow
the procedure below:
Gate Alarm monitoring the Open or Closed state
Normally Open trigger input.
Normally Closed trigger. (The supplied mag switch is a N.C)
The Receiver will switch its Relay Open when the gate is open, & the relay will
close when the gate closes.
Transmits every time the gate opens.
Transmits if the Gate is left Open for more than 3 Minutes
Transmits if the Gate is left Open for more than 1 Minutes
The gate alarm unit will transmit a Supervision signal every 15minutes
This will only work on a compatible SUPERVISION enabled receiver. Model RX8-500

If you want to set up the GATE ALARM system as a 24 Hour zone on to an Intruder Alarm
system, then you will need to run a wire from the gate motor’s Receives N.O & Common back to
the GATE ALARMS [RX-BYPASS(TRIG)]. This will bypass the GATE ALARMS signal every time
the gate is opened by a valid remote control or intercom press switch. If in the event the gate is
forced open or lifted the Gate Alarm unit will transmit out its alarm signal which can trigger a
receiver that is wired to an alarm panel and set as a 24 Hour emergency zone. It is optional if
you want to wire in the 12VDC from the gate motor’s power supply.
