The DA-500 has a sensor which monitors a 10-foot radius (20′ diameter) to detect disturbances in the magnetic field caused by vehicle traffic in driveways, farm lanes, intersections and any areas where knowledge of movement is desired. Up to three An additional sensors may be added to a DA-500. The DA-500 sensor is not a PIR or “beam” sensor. Thus, the DA-500 does not have the false alarms common to that type of sensor; such as being triggered by animals, fog, weather, etc…

Homes

A residential installation allows the homeowner to know when someone enters the driveway or moves a vehicle or equipment. This is accomplished by a buried sensor which detects moving metal objects such as cars, trucks, motorcycles, trailers, or bikes. Then the sensor sends a signal to the control panel which sounds an electronic whistle alert.

Businesses and Drive-Up Windows

National pharmacy chains, restaurants, banks, and other businesses across the country utilize the Drive-Alert to detect because it provides a pleasant tone with volume control. See more in the “accessories” section below. See the “Drive-Up Window Installation Examples” show above to choose from a hard-wired DA-500 system, or a wireless DA-100 system, which are both perfect for drive-up window installations.

Activation of Other Systems

The DA-500 Control Panel has 12VDC and 24VDC dry contacts, and timer relays, that can be used to activate gates, DVRs, external bells, lights, strobes, sirens, etc. whenever the DA-500 detects vehicles or a disturbance in the magnetic field around the sensor(s)

Asset Protection for Farms, Construction Sites, etc.

Placing the sensor next to objects such as campers, tractors, trailers, gasoline tanks, etc. allows you to detect any movement of those objects, aiding in the prevention of theft and vandalism.

DA-100 Wireless Drive-Alert

Simple, Reliable and Easily Installed Wireless System!

The wireless DA-100 Drive-Alert Vehicle Detection System includes a control panel with an internal alert chime with volume control and a DA-611TO Sensor/Transmitter. This is the perfect wireless system for someone who wants an economical and reliable wireless system, and only needs an audible chime alert. The DA-100-610 includes a DA-610TO instead of the DA-611TO for those installations that require a different sensor/transmitter.

The DA-100 control panel is also a perfect wireless accessory for people who already use a DA-100, or a DA-500 or DA-700 with a DA-REPEATER and would like an additional alert (chime with volume control) in another building or location.

These wireless systems have a sensor/transmitter which monitors a 12-foot radius (24’ diameter) to detect disturbances in the magnetic field caused by vehicle traffic in driveways, farm lanes, intersections and any areas where knowledge of vehicle movement is desired. Unlimited sensors may be added. The sensors are not a PIR or “beam” sensor. Thus, they do not have the false alarms common to IR sensors; such as being triggered by animals, fog, weather, etc.

Options and Sensors

DA-051 sensor with cable length of your choice

DA-051-100

If you intend on ordering a DA-500, but need more than the standard 100′ of direct-burial cable, then order a DA-500CP which is the DA-500 control-panel, AND ALSO order the DA-051-_ _ _.

The DA-051 is the sensor, and then you fill in the spaces with the length of cable you will need (in feet) from 10′ up to a maximum of 2500′. An example would be a DA-051-200 would be a sensor with a 200 feet of cable.

Wireless DA-660 Long-Range Receiving Antenna

DA-660

If you intend on ordering a DA-100 or DA-700 wireless Drive-Alert, but need more than the standard 1000′ range, then order a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna which increases the range of these systems up to 8/10-mile!

Wireless DA-REPEATER Alert-Signal Repeating Device with 1000-ft. Range

DA-REPEATER

This Drive-Alert Signal Repeater can be attached to any DA-500 or DA-700 Drive-Alert Control Panel/Receiver. It will repeat the alert signal to other wireless Control Panel/Receivers (DA-100CP or DA-700CP) up to an additional 1000 feet away. If a site has multiple buildings and/or locations where an alert is desired, adding a DA-REPEATER to a DA-700 Control Panel/Receiver, and then adding DA-100CP Chimes with Volume Control (shown below) is the perfect answer! Once again, you can also attach a DA-660 Antenna (shown above) to increase that range up to 8/10-mile.

Wireless DA-610TO Transmitter with Internal Sensor (for use with models DA-100 and DA-700)

DA-610TO

Unlimited sensors may be used with the new wireless series of Drive-Alerts to monitor several areas. The sensor is encased in a durable outdoor metal enclosure. They monitor a 14-foot radius (28′ diameter). These sensors require two AA Lithium batteries which will last two years under normal usage. These sensors may be placed up to 1000 feet from the control panel, and up to 8/10-mile when used with a DA-660 booster antenna. The sensors are tamper resistant due to the fact that if anyone touches or moves one, the alert will be triggered.

Wireless DA-611TO Transmitter with External Sensor and 50-feet of cable (for use with models DA-100 and DA-700)

DA-611TO

This option is used when you cannot place the standard DA-610TO Sensor/Transmitter right next to the driveway. The DA-611TO allows you to bury the sensor right next to, or under, the drive and then place the transmitter up to 50′ away under some landscaping or up a tree or pole (this also helps increase transmission reception). If you want this option, order a DA-100 or DA-700-611.

Accessories – Lights

DA-505 and DA-505W

DA-505 and DA-505W Hard-Wired Light Timer Control

Timer Control Relays are already built into the Second-Generation DA-500 and the DA-700. For older Gen 1 DA-500s, you can use a DA-505 or a DA-505W to turn on 10 amps of lights, sirens or bells. The DA-505 unit simply plugs into a 120 VAC outlet and contains its own receptacle to provide power to lights or alarms. The DA-505W is a “stand alone” unit that gets its power from the Drive-Alert, and provides a N.O., timed, dry contact to switch a load (lights, contactors, bells, etc) rated at 10 amps, 120 volts AC. The DA-505W is a terrific intermediate interface with a “healthy” large relay within, that may be used to control other functions such as triggering a large commercial lighting contactor, billboards, holiday lights, etc. The alarm or lights triggered by either of these units can be adjusted to operate from 1 to 45 minutes. Both may be used with all models. Please call our technical support team for information.
