6. Test mode exits when the button is pressed again.
7. Test mode will automatically exit after 30 minutes.

▶️ Push & hold button for 5 seconds to put in test mode.

6. Testing Range

The system has a radio range of at least 350 feet, or over 1000 feet line-of-sight. Test before final installation to determine range in your specific application.

Radio range is affected by several variables:

• How the puck is installed (in ground or above ground on a post).
• Obstacles blocking the radio signal, such as soil, trees, foliage, buildings, concrete, etc.

To test range:

1. Place the Integrator near its final installation location (home or gate).
2. Confirm the Integrator is sounding (see #9).
3. Put the sensor into test range mode (see #5).
4. Listen for the Integrator to trigger. If it does not, move the sensor closer to the Integrator.
5. Ensure you test again with the puck installed in the ground (see #8).
6. A repeater may be needed inside the home (see #9).

7. Setting Sensitivity

Only adjust (lower) sensitivity if placing the puck in the middle of a driveway (see #8). In all other cases, use the default HIGH setting.

Sensitivity Adjustment:

• HIGH (Default): Detects vehicles going 5 MPH from 12-14 feet away. Achieved with DIP switches 1 & 2 in the OFF position.
• MEDIUM: Detects vehicles going 5 MPH from 6-8 feet away. Achieved with DIP switch 1 ON and switch 2 OFF.
• LOW: Detects vehicles going 5 MPH from 2-4 feet away. Achieved with DIP switches 1 & 2 in the ON position.

Note: Highest sensitivity is with DIP switches in the OFF position. DIP switch color may vary.

Diagram Description: A representation of DIP switches labeled 1 and 2, showing the OFF and ON positions for HIGH, MEDIUM, and LOW sensitivity settings with corresponding detection distances.

8. Installing Sensor Puck

The sensor puck can be installed in the driveway, in the ground, or on an immovable object (post, tree, etc.).

Note: The sensor puck detects a vehicle going 5 MPH AFTER it passes. For optimal performance, place the sensor at least 50 feet away from the gate operator if possible.

On an Object

1. Test range (#6), then securely seat the lid on the puck with the provided screws, ensuring no gap between the lid and puck. Do not overtighten or strip screws.

2. Find a tree, post, or other object directly beside the driveway.

3. Ensure the object is IMMOVABLE to prevent false alarms.

4. Use the holes on the bottom tabs to screw the puck to the object.

Diagram Description: Shows a sensor puck mounted on a post or tree using screws, with a minimum distance of 6-8 inches indicated.

In the Ground

1. After testing range (#6), securely seat the lid on the puck with the provided screws. Be careful not to strip screws with a screw gun. Ensure no gap between the lid and puck.

2. Find a spot directly beside the driveway.

3. Dig a hole large enough for the puck and auger screws, allowing the puck's lid to be level with the surface of the dirt.

4. Secure the puck in the ground with auger screws, overlapping the bottom tabs of the puck. If not secured, lawn mowers or other equipment may pull it up.

5. Pack and tamp dirt around the puck, ensuring the lid is clean of dirt and debris.

Diagram Description: Shows a sensor puck installed flush with the ground, secured by auger screws. The logo is shown parallel to the drive, just below the surface, with dirt packed around it.

In the Driveway

1. After testing range (#6), securely seat the lid on the puck with the provided screws. Be careful not to strip screws. Ensure no gap between the lid and puck.

Note: If close to cross traffic, consider turning sensitivity down (see #7).

2. Use a 4.5-inch diameter masonry hole saw to bore a hole at least 2.75 inches deep. This ensures the puck lid is 0.25-0.50 inches below the driveway surface, preventing it from being pulled up by snow plows or graters.

3. Pour loop sealant into the hole, being careful not to overfill, and place the puck in the hole.

4. Hold the puck down with weight until the sealant becomes firm.

5. DO NOT pour sealant over the puck lid or bosses when accessing batteries.

Diagram Description: Shows a hole bored into a driveway surface, with sealant poured in and the puck placed inside. The puck lid is shown slightly below the surface. A warning graphic indicates sealant should not touch the lid or bosses.

BE ADVISED: Larger animals can trip a gate open by stepping on or above the sensor. Cartell does not suggest its products for use with larger animals and will not be held liable in such cases. Use at your own risk.

Note: Sensor puck and lid are keyed. Wipe sensor lid, lid gasket, and sensor brim with a clean cloth and key correctly before attaching.

9. Integrator Dip Switches

Dip switches control the sounder and repeater mode on the Integrator.

SOUNDER: Turn dip switch 1 ON to activate the sounder. The sounder will beep 5 times when a vehicle is detected and will "chirp" when sensor puck batteries are low.

REPEATER MODE: Turn dip switch 2 ON to enable the Integrator as a repeater. In repeater mode, the unit will continually receive and repeat signals from the sensor to another Integrator installed in the home (see #11). The red and blue LEDs will blink alternately and continuously in repeater mode.

Diagram Description: A block of DIP switches labeled "#1 Sounder mode ON" and "#2 Repeater mode ON".

Note: DIP switch color may vary.

10. Installing Integrator

The system integrates seamlessly with any security/home automation system or electric gate operator. Use the following wiring schematics as guides.

The Integrator requires 8-24 VAC or 8-30 VDC. Power can be supplied by the security/home automation system, gate operator, or any 12VDC power supply. Cartell offers an optional power supply (Part #CW-PS).

11. Repeater Mode

To increase radio range, the Integrator can be used as a repeater.

If the signal from the sensor puck is not reaching the Integrator:

1. Move the sensor closer to the Integrator, and/or
2. Install a repeater in the home between the sensor puck and the main Integrator.

To set up a repeater (Order using CW-REP):

1. Purchase an optional Integrator and power supply (Product CW-REP).
2. Remove the enclosure cover by carefully pushing the side tabs.
3. Connect the power supply to terminals 1 & 2 (no polarity).
4. Turn dip switch 2 ON (see #9). This places the unit in repeater mode, indicated by alternating red and blue LED blinks. It will continuously receive signals from the sensor and transmit them to the main Integrator.
5. Install the repeater in a window closest to the sensor puck.
6. Turn dip switch 1 OFF to disable the sounder.

Note: The relay will not function in repeater mode.

12. Optional External Gate Antenna

In gate operator installations, an antenna attached directly to the Integrator usually works. However, in sealed metal gate operators that block RF signals, an optional coaxial cable and 3/8" grommet may be needed to install the antenna externally.

Installation Steps:

1. Drill a 3/8" hole in the side or bottom of the operator.
2. Insert the 3/8" grommet into the drilled hole.
3. Push the male threads of the coaxial cable through the grommet.
4. Screw the antenna onto the male threads.
5. Screw the other end of the cable to the Integrator's antenna connector.
