A Reliable Wireless Driveway Alarm Made in the USA!
Wireless driveway alarms, like the Di2000S-A (TXRX2000A), will keep you informed and safe by alerting you when a car, person, or animal enters your driveway or any area you want to monitor. The system sends an alert to a receiver, the RX2000A, when the passive infrared motion sensor detector is triggered.
These are just a few reasons this wireless driveway alarm has been and continues to be our number-one selling monitoring system. Although this is a best-in-class system to monitor your driveway, it has many uses beyond that. Customers mount transmitters/sensors along fence lines to monitor movement along a property line. We even have a customer who uses the Di2000S-A to monitor when his cows break through his fence line–no kidding!
The Plugin Receiver in this Kit:
The receiver, Di2000R-A or RX2000A, supplied in the kit, plugs into a standard wall outlet. On the back of the receiver is a volume control knob that allows you to adjust the volume according to your preference. Also on the back of the receiver/speaker are two-terminal screws; one powers an external speaker, allowing you to hear the chime sound in another room or location. The second terminal screw is for a live 12-volt output, which can power various accessories such as strobe lights, sirens, counters, X10 interfaces, and virtually any product powered by 12 volts.
The receiver plays four (4) different sounds. An unlimited number of sensors can be programmed into the receiver for the Di2000T-A (TX2000A). Each programmed sensor will instruct the receiver to play one of the four available sounds. Note that the line-of-sight range from the transmitter to the receiver is up to 1,000 feet. Environmental factors can interfere with and reduce the range. For example, the exterior brick of a home may reduce the signal by 25%, while a steel building exterior could reduce the signal by 40%.
The back of the receiver has a series of dip switches labeled 1-6. Dip switches 1-4 must match the corresponding dip switches on the transmitter/sensor programmed to the receiver.
The receiver has four terminal screws on the back, powering 12V DC devices and a speaker. The 12V DC output can be used for buzzers, strobe lights, etc. The output duration may be set to 5 seconds or 20 seconds. The speaker will play the selected sound for the sensor/transmitter that triggers it.
Scroll down the page to hear the sounds played by the receiver. The four sounds are set using the dip switch settings below:
- Ding Dong (5 Off & 6 OFF)
- Single Ding (5 ON & 6 OFF)
- Double Ding Dong (5 OFF & 6 ON)
- Turbo Sound (5 ON & 6 ON)
The Transmitter in this Kit
The transmitter/sensor in this kit is the TX2000A (Di2000T-A) by Rodann Electronics. When a car passes through the monitored zone, the sensor sends a wireless signal up to 1,000 ft. away to the plugin receiver shown above.
The transmitter is a passive infrared sensor designed for outdoor use. It is powered by 2 x AA Alkaline batteries (not included). To insert batteries, remove the two screws on the back of the cover (inside screw wells). On the circuit board of the sensor/transmitter is a jumper setting where you can adjust the sensitivity of the transmitter. It is set to normal by default with a jumper on pins A and B. For higher, move the jumper to pins B and C. For low sensitivity, remove the jumper (save for future use).
How to Position the Transmitter/Sensor
Ideally, using the included aluminum mounting bracket, mount the sensor approximately 3-4 inches high on a non-metallic post. Point the antenna down to help keep moisture out and drain effectively. This will not affect functionality.
The invisible passive infrared beam shoots out to approximately 50′. At 25′, the detection area is approximately 1’x1′, and at 50′ is 2’x2′.
The TXRX2000A Driveway Informer Kit is Expandable
Each RX2000A (Di2000R-A) can work with four different TX2000A (Di2000T-A) sensors. The number of receivers a transmitter/sensor can work with is unlimited.
