SYSTEM OVERVIEW The Vehicle Alert is a simple to use vehicle motion detection system that operates on the principle that any moving ferrous metal object will distort the Earth’s magnetic ﬁeld to some degree. The technology used to measure this distortion is one of the most reliable forms of outdoor protection available. Unlike other outdoor motion detectors that sense heat, vibration or change in position of an object, the Vehicle Alert will sense only moving iron or steel.

Accessories Step 1: Probe and Console Location Considerations Many accessories are available for the Vehicle Alert allowing custom installations to meet speciﬁc user requirements. Additional buzzers (Model BZ-1) can be located throughout your home or building. Since your Vehicle Alert contains two dry contact relay outputs, it can be connected directly to a wireless transmitter or to an existing security system. Consult your Vehicle Alert dealer or visit www.winland.com for further information.

Installing the Probe in Driveways Not Exceeding 20 Feet in Width If the driveway to be monitored doesn’t exceed 20 feet in width, the probe can be buried along side the driveway (FIGURE 1). The beneﬁts of this are: • • • Probe and cable need to be buried only 6 to 8 inches below ground level. The cable back to your home can be buried at any depth that will not interfere or be damaged by yard maintenance. Eliminates the possibility of crushing the probe when it is buried beneath unpaved driveways.

Troubleshooting Figure 3 “Power On” indicator is not on. • Check to make sure the power connections are properly made to the VAL console. • If the power connections are correct, disconnect the 12 VDC power supply from the console by unplugging the wiring harness. Ensure that it is providing 12 VDC by measuring the power leads with a voltmeter. Buzzer will not activate. • Check for loose connections on the console terminal block.

Power Connections 12VDC POWER SUPPLY Before plugging in the 12VDC power supply to a wall outlet, connect the appropriate wires on the cable assembly to the power supply (FIGURE 4). Figure 4 To Power Supply or other 12VDC source Accessory Relay Output Accessory Relay Output #2 12 VDC POWER SUPPLY If using one of the ﬁve disk-shaped UAL connectors, neither wire should be stripped of its insulation. Insert the wire from the power supply positive lead marked (+) into one of the three small grooves.
