The P8500 is the new directional probe kit. The package consists of two (2) Basic Probes with 25 foot leads and a direct burial splice kit. This package replaces the old P8000 dual headed probe. Installation is still very similar. Each detection head is placed fifteen feet apart from one another and is spliced to a direct burial cable back to the control box. Direct burial Cat 6 is ideal. Each probe requires two (2) conductors. If the driveway is not more than fourteen (14ft) feet wide the probes can be placed on the side of the driveway. However, this package makes it easier to install probes in the center of the driveway for entrances up to twenty eight (28 ft.) wide. We recommend soldered connections for your splice and using one pair of wires in the Cat 6 per one Probe conductor.
The P8500C is a complete package system. It includes everything you need except the direct burial cable. This system will give one relay output for inbound vehicles and a separate relay output for outbound vehicles. Normally, the system is used for directional applications. System versatility allows for the occasional need to cover two driveways where directionality does not matter. For this application you would simply place a probe at each entrance and flip a switch in the main control box.
The P8500C includes a wireless sounding system. The sounder plugs into your standard electrical outlet. It has over fifty melodies and four volume levels. Up to eight chime receivers can be used. Non-volatile memory means the chime receivers can be moved from place to place without reprogramming
