Want to know when a car approaches your driveway? Just bury this probe 6 to 8 inches in the ground next to your driveway and run the included 100' of wire back to the console indoors. The console will then buzz whenever a car approaches! Up to 2 probes may be attached to each console. For full featured integration, the console also has 2 SPDT relay outputs which allow you to connect to a security and/or automation system.

What's Included

  • Vehicle Sensor Console
  • Probe w/ 100' of Cable

  • More Info


    The included sensor probes come with special 100' burial grade cable that can withstand years of burial without any additional jacketing or protection.

    If your application requires more than 1 probe or longer than 100' lengths we recommend purchasing the Vehicle Sensor Console by itself and selecting the cable length for your application. The probe and cable are sold together in the following lengths:

    Probe with 100' Cable
    Probe with 200' Cable
    Probe with 350' Cable
    Probe with 500' Cable
    Probe with 1000' Cable

    Cable can be purchased by itself in 200' lengths (#7174). If you are extending cable lengths be sure to order a cable splice kit (#7178).

    You can purchase probes with a continuous seamless length of cable or add additional length with a splice kit that ensures a waterproof junction.

    To activate X10 lights or appliances, simply purchase the optional Powerflash Interface (#4060). Compatible with home control interfaces with digital low-voltage inputs, like the JDS TimeCommander Plus (#1200).

    Reviews

    "the first one had a disconnected wire on the circuit board and Smarthome replaced it and the second worked great." - DENNIS - MORRISTOWN, NJ
    "We have had this alarm for 8 years. This summer we replaced the 600ft of wire with outdoor low voltage wire and have eliminated ALL false alarms from lightening. The wire that comes with the product does not appear to be rated for outdoor, underground. Otherwise, we love the alarm. Diana Indiana" - Diana - Indiana
    "This thing works well, but be careful with extending the wire.. the wire you use has to be shielded, and connections have to be done very well... the connection thing made by the company didnt work (I would suggest that you strip the wires in the splice thing to get it to work, even though it says not to strip them.) My sister was able to use an unshielded Cat 5 to extend it a little, but I dont recommend this as I had alot of trouble with unshielded wire before finally connecting a shielded wire with my own splice." - JERRY - VANCOUVER, WA
