the remote mic. Allowing the SOS unit to be installed inside a cabinet, in side

the unit inside the gate operator enclosure or next to any
noisy machinery that will interfere with the sensor picking up
the sound of the siren.

TEST UNIT
7. Begin tesng by turning the sensivity dial clockwise to seng 8.5.
8. Using the Yelp Siren CD provided, or download the MP3 yelp o our website www.sosgate.com
onto your mobile device, play it at the loudest volume seng. Hold your device close to the mi-
crophone, the PWR/Sound light should come on solid, and the output light should come on as the
gate opens within 3 seconds.
9. Test the unit now with a live siren. You want to have the sensivity seng as low as possible,
but sll able to open the gate with a live siren. The main reason for the SOS not triggering the
gate open is, that they are using a dierent siren sound than “YELP” or they are only leaving their
siren on for 1-2 seconds.
10. Have the emergency responder sound their “YELP” siren. If the gate does not open within 3
seconds, verify that the PWR/Sound light is coming on solid. If PWR/Sound light is solid and the
gate sll does not open turn up the sensivity. The output light must come on before an open
trigger is sent to the gate operator.
Note: Every me the siren is interrupted or changed the digital processor begins the
process over again, this internal reset can take several seconds.
