Description
The SOS 12 Siren-Operated Emergency Access Sensor provides instant, hands-off gate entry for first responders and facilities that require rapid, code-compliant emergency access. It opens gates in about 3 seconds when it detects the standard YELP siren, with no radios, remotes, or prior programming needed.
- Trigger method: Siren-activated gate entry triggered by the standard emergency “YELP” siren; gates open in ~3 seconds for rapid response.
- Radio/remotes: No radio signals or remotes required—automatic gate entry without additional devices.
- Adjustable sensitivity: Onboard potentiometer tunes detection from 80–125 dB to match site noise levels.
- Latch options: Programmable latch times of 5 minutes, 15 minutes, 1 hour, or latched open until reset for flexible control.
- Dual reset: Internal and external reset buttons provide quick reactivation and reliability.
- Power efficiency: Low standby current (0.1 mA) and modest active current (25 mA) for energy savings.
- Operating range: Reliable performance from -30°F to 120°F (-34°C to 49°C) with an all-weather enclosure for harsh environments.
- Output type: Dry contact output (Normally Open) compatible with virtually all gate operators.
- Testing and setup: MP3 test tone included to enable accurate installation using siren simulation.
- Safety and visibility: Reflective sign included to enhance visibility and safety labeling at the gate area.
- Durability and installation: Compact, weather-resistant housing designed for outdoor installations.
- Power input options: Flexible power options—9–30VDC or 9–16VAC input to fit a variety of site configurations.
- Wiring compatibility: Supports 18–22 AWG wiring (not included) for straightforward integration with existing gate systems.
- Model and dimensions: Model SOS 12 with dimensions 6.79” H × 4.72” W × 2.02” D for planning and mounting accuracy.
- Ideal applications: Perfect for gated communities, commercial properties, fire departments, airports, and industrial facilities needing immediate access for first responders.
The SOS 12 delivers dependable, hands-off gate access when lives depend on it. It’s designed to streamline emergency response, reduce entry delays, and maintain security across challenging environments. Installers can fine-tune sensitivity, select an appropriate latch duration, and rely on a low-power, weather-ready solution that works with almost any gate operator via a simple dry contact connection.
