Ghost Controls AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Ghost Controls AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor is designed to detect moving vehicles and automatically trigger your Ghost Controls automatic gate opener system to open. This sensor provides convenient exit functionality without the need for remote controls or keypads, enhancing the ease of use for your property's access control.

2. Installation and Setup

Follow these steps for proper installation and initial setup of your AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor:

1. Placement: The sensor should be installed within 100 feet of your gate system's control box. Consider the path vehicles will take to ensure optimal detection.
2. Burying the Cable: Bury the sensor cable 12-18 inches underground next to your driveway. Ensure the sensor probe is positioned correctly to detect vehicles as they approach the gate.
3. Battery Installation: The sensor requires two C batteries (not included). Install them according to the polarity markings inside the battery compartment.
4. Programming: A working and programmed Ghost Controls remote transmitter (AXP1, AXR1, or AXS1) is required to program the AXWV sensor during setup. Refer to your specific gate opener system's manual for detailed programming instructions.

3. Operation

Once properly installed and programmed, the AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor operates automatically:

• When a vehicle approaches the sensor's detection zone, the sensor will detect its presence.
• Upon detection, the sensor wirelessly transmits a signal to your Ghost Controls gate opener system.
• The gate system will then automatically open, allowing the vehicle to exit your property without manual intervention.
• The sensor is designed to work exclusively with Ghost Controls Automatic Gate Opener Systems.

4. Maintenance

To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Battery Replacement: Replace the two C batteries periodically, or when the sensor's performance diminishes. Refer to your gate opener system's manual for indicators of low sensor battery.
• Clear Area: Keep the area around the buried sensor probe clear of excessive debris, dense vegetation, or large metal objects that could interfere with its detection capabilities.
• Regular Checks: Periodically check the sensor's functionality by driving a vehicle past its location to ensure it triggers the gate reliably.

5. Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your AXWV Wireless Vehicle Sensor, consider these common troubleshooting steps:

• Sensor Not Triggering Gate:
  • Ensure the sensor is installed within 100 feet of the control box.
  • Check and replace the C batteries if they are low or depleted.
  • Verify that the sensor was correctly programmed with a Ghost Controls remote transmitter (AXP1, AXR1, or AXS1). Refer to the programming section of your gate opener manual.
  • Inspect the area around the sensor for any new obstructions or large metal objects that might be interfering with detection.
  • Confirm the sensor cable is buried at the recommended depth (12-18 inches).
• Gate Opening Constantly or Randomly:
  • This could indicate interference or an overly sensitive placement. Ensure the sensor is not too close to the gate or other unintended moving metal objects.
  • Re-evaluate the sensor's placement to ensure it's not detecting unintended movement or objects.
  • If the issue persists, try re-programming the sensor following the instructions in your gate opener manual.
• Reduced Detection Range:
  • The sensor's effective range is up to 100 feet from the control box. If experiencing reduced range, ensure no new obstacles have been introduced between the sensor and the control box.
  • Check battery levels; low batteries can significantly affect wireless range.
