You can keep the gate open for just one vehicle to enter, hold for 15 minutes or if you prefer, latch it open until the reset button is pushed.
- Reset Button: SOS units have two reset buttons that perform the same function. One on the exterior of the enclosure and one on the inside of the enclosure on the circuit board.
- Siren Test: The SOS includes a CD recording of an emergency responder "yelp" siren so you can test the unit and adjust the sensitivity settings to your preference. It is recommended that you get a live siren to test your unit twice a year.
- Reflective Sign: Each unit ordered comes with a 4" x 5" sign which clearly tells emergency responders your gate is protected by SOS.
