## Description

Dakota Alert DCPT-4000 Wireless Driveway Alarm System - One Mile Wireless Range with 50-FT of Direct Burial Cable

## Features

- One-mile wireless range between the sensor and receiver. The sensor detects vehicles only. No false signals from deer or other large animals. The probe only detects metal.
- Longest wireless range in its class- One mile wireless range is much greater than other products that claim ¼ mile or ½ mile. The long range means the radio signal is more likely to get through to the receiver.
- Ultra-reliable battery operation- The sensor operates on three CR-123 batteries (included). The batteries will typically last a year or more before they need to be changed. No need to worry about a solar panel not charging. The battery works day or night.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: h ow do you use with asphalt entrance?**
A: The probe is shallow buried parallel and just off the edge of the asphalt, with the cable running also shallow underground out to a nearby tree upon which the transmitter box is hung.

**Q: Do you HAVE to bury the cable also all the way to wherever you hang the transmitter?**
A: I have found the sensor to be particularly sensitive to voltage gradients from lightning strikes even a few miles away. The gradients are near the surface, so there are less false trips with the wire buried even a few inches. Bury the wire, and don't use any more than you need to. Cut off the excess and try to keep the wire short.

**Q: Can one dcpt-4000 transmit to 2 4k plus receivers?**
A: Yes. We keep one in our house and one much further away in our shop.

**Q: I presume the sensor is battery operated?   it says 4 cr 123, how long does the battery last?  does it signal when getting low?**
A: YMMV. The batteries can last 1-3 years depending on how many times the sensor was triggered. If you hear a second alert 30 seconds after the first alert, and nothing has activated the transmitter again, the batteries in the transmitter box are low and should be replaced.
