SOS12RM - Siren Operated Sensor - Sensor without Remote

The SOS-12RM is compatible with all gate operators.

SOS Siren Operated Sensor (SOS) is used to access residential, and commercial including airport, government, and military gates since 1992. This unit is used throughout the North, South, and Central Americas as well as in Europe. The SOS Siren allows the emergency responder to open gates, doors, parking arms, barriers, and roll-up doors in the event of an emergency. Once the emergency responder approaches the gate, it takes 3 seconds to recognize the "YELP" siren to trigger the gate to open. SOS siren has six switches to customize the sound, and the time the gate remains open after being triggered by the "YELP" siren. The SOS sensor can be set to open for a single vehicle, hold open for 15 minutes, or latch open until the reset buttons are pushed. The SOS includes a CD recording of an emergency responder "YELP" siren so the unit is tested and the sensitivity is adjusted. You can easily adjust the sensitivity of the unit with the potentiometer dial. The unit sensitivity range is from 80 to 125 decibels. Each unit comes with a sign which tells an emergency responder your gate is protected by SOS. The reliability of the SOS Emergency Access System has made it mandatory in many communities throughout the world. Making your gate siren activated is a big step to saving lives and property.
