RB709U-NB two channel receiver with instructions. Two size AA batteries. GTO Wireless Exit Sensor instruction manual for general installation guidance. Thank you for purchasing the GTO Wireless Exit Sensor. Please read the directions carefully and completely before installing. How it works:
The GTO wireless exit sensor consists of a vehicle sensor, transmitter, and programmable dip switches. The maximum range between transmitter and receiver is 80- 100 ft. The transmitter module transmits a special GTO transmitter code with additional information to tell the receiver that this device should be treated as a free exit device. The latest GTO gate operators with blue control boards
(GTO GEN3) are able to decode this format and recognize the device as a free exit or open only command without the use of the RB709U-NB receiver. This will simplify installations so only the original receiver will be required. The RB709U-NB receiver will be required unless you have the GEN 3 (blue board). The RB-709U-NB has two channels that can be programmed to operate a remote transmitter or keypad and wireless wand. For instance, Channel 1 could be wired to the Cycle and COM accessory terminals and could be programmed to operate a transmitter and keypad. Channel 2 could be wired to the Exit and COM accessory terminals and could be used to operate the wireless exit sensor. Depending on the frequency of use (vehicle traffic) the two AA batteries will last about 1 to 3 years.

Sensor and Module Placement Overview NOTE: Place the transmitter on the same side of the driveway in the line of sight of the receiver to maximize the range. SENSOR:
2 feet from driveway (max) and 12 deep Transmitter 100 Max Wireless Gate Opener Receiver RANGE:
12 ft. radius
(max) Driveway 25 ft. from gate (min) Open Gate Outside Sensor Range Above is a typical location where installing a conventional wired exit sensor would require cutting and trenching across more than 50 feet of asphalt driveway. Sensor Placement Determining Sensor Location IMPORTANT: Clear an area 20 feet in all directions of metal tools, toys and automobiles, to prevent magnetic disturbance during testing and installation. Determine the optimum location for the VEHICLE SENSOR using the information found above in Sensor and Transmitter Placement Overview. Then dig a hole approximately 10 - 12 inches deep and 24 inches long within 2 feet and parallel to the edge of the driveway. Next, dig a trench no more than 15 ft from this hole to the location where you will install the transmitter module. Keep the VEHICLE SENSOR and the cable uncovered at this time. For Optimum Performance:
that the SENSOR detects MAGNETIC DISTURBANCES caused by a vehicles mass and velocity. Locate the SENSOR as far as possible away from power transformers, power lines, underground gas line, and telephone lines. Locate the SENSOR away from general moving traffic to prevent unwanted activation. Remember Range distance is approximate and will vary due to outside interference, type of soil, vehicle mass, speed, etc. It is recommended that you run the Signal Cable inside PVC conduit to prevent accidental damage. Do not run Signal Cable in conduit with other wires such as AC power or other control wires. The SIGNAL CABLE CANNOT BE SPLICED. If you need more wire, contact the GTO Sales Department at 1-800-543-GATE (4283). 2 W i r e l e s s E x i t S e n s o r Transmitter Module Placement Determining Transmitter Module Location Choose a location for the transmitter module that is far enough from the driveway edge that vehicles are unlikely to hit it. Fifteen feet of wire is included to allow the transmitter to be 12 to 15 feet from the driveway. To test the chosen location to be sure it is free from obstructions or other interference, you can use your remote control transmitter at the same height as the transmitter module to activate the gate.

Run the signal cable to the After laying the vehicle sensor in the hole adjacent transmitter module in the narrow trench. Do not fill the hole or trench until satisfactory operation is verified. 15 ft maximum Transmitter Module Install the Vehicle Sensor DO NOT fill the hole until final testing is complete. Dig a small pit about 10 - 12 inches deep close to the edge of your driveway. The hole should allow you to lay the Vehicle Sensor flat in the bottom with the length of the Vehicle Sensor parallel to the direction of the driveway. 10-12 inch deep pit Placed 2 ft maximum from edge of driveway Vehicle Sensor Vehicle Sensor should lay parallel to driveway D R I V E W A Y W i r e l e s s E x i t S e n s o r 3 Install the Electronics/Transmitter Module NOTE: DO NOT place in the direct path of a sprinkler. The module is water resistant but not waterproof. 6 inches deep Dig a narrow trench or slit from the Vehicle Sensor to the transmitter location using a flat spade or other tool. The wire from the wand to the transmitter should be at least six inches deep to avoid possible damage from edgers, or lawn aerators.

You can skip this step if you have a GTO GEN3 control board on your gate operator. If using the RB709U-NB receiver, it is recommended that you disconnect the original antenna receiver that came with your gate opener. Remove the outer cover from the Electronics/Transmitter Module. Set the transmitter Dip Switches. If you have GTO hand held transmitters for your gate, set the Dip Switches in the Transmitter/Module to the same settings as the Dip Switches in your transmitter. If you do not have GTO transmitters, set the Dip Switches to any desired setting. We do not recommend using the factory code setting as shipped. Set the sensitivity control to mid scale (medium sensitivity). DO NOT install the batteries at this time!

Post mount operators with a GEN-3 Blue Control Board DO NOT require that you use the RB709U-NB universal receiver.
(See the pictures below to determine if you have a GEN-3 Blue Control Board). ALL PAD MOUNT OPERATORS will require the use of the RB709U-NB universal receiver.

This simple procedure takes only a few minutes. Gen 3 (blue board) instructions Set the 9 Dip Switches in the Transmitter Module to the same settings as the 9 Dip Switches in the GTO Remote Transmitter.

Wire Channel 2 (yellow and brown wires) on the RB709U-NB to the Exit and COM terminals on the gate opener. Install the two AA batteries in the wireless exit sensors transmitter module. This will immediately start 30 seconds of transmissions from the wireless exit sensor. While the exit sensor is transmitting, hold down the Channel 2 button on the RB709U-NB.

Calibration lasts about 15 seconds. DO NOT move the sensor, any vehicles, or large metal objects near the Vehicle Sensor during this 15 second period. Learning and calibration is now complete. Test the Vehicle Sensor by driving a vehicle along the driveway at a normal speed for the driveway (5-15mph). The gate should open reliably when repeated several times. If the exit sensor does not open the gate every time, try increasing (clockwise rotation) the setting of the sensitivity potentiometer. When operation is satisfactory, install the outer cover over the Electronics/
Transmitter Module, fill the hole and trench with soil and tamp firm. Dont be alarmed if your gate opens while you are filling the trench and hole.
