FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
4.1.12. Intruder-detection Alarms

(a world rst)
4.1.12.1. Ambush Alarm
Once activated, if the opening or
closing beams are continuously
interrupted for a predened time,
the Ambush Alarm will sound.
Intruders often cover beams’ lenses,
thus breaking the beam, so your
gate stays open after you have
entered or left your property – but
with the Ambush Alarm enabled
you can be instantly alerted of any
criminal activity.
4.1.12.2. Break-In Alarm
If the closing beam on the outside of
your property is broken, the Break-
In Alarm will sound and continue
until 30 seconds have passed since
the beam is re-made.
Intruders will not be able to loiter
outside your property as the Break-
In Alarm will immediately alert you
of their presence – and the noise
of the onboard buzzer is often an
eective deterrent. Optionally the
alarm signal can be routed to an
armed response company.
