Siren Operated Sensor with Remote (SOS-12RM)
The Siren Operated Sensor 12RM pairs the SOS-12 sensor with a remote microphone, allowing the sensor to be placed up to 50 feet away while the mic captures siren signals for automatic gate access.
Overview
The Siren Operated Sensor 12RM combines the SOS-12 Siren Operated Sensor with a remote microphone, giving installers the flexibility to mount the sensor out of sight — in a guard shack or any remote location — while the microphone is positioned up to 50 feet away for reliable siren detection. When an emergency vehicle siren is recognized, the system triggers automatic gate access without the need for codes or keys. Trusted since 1992 and used across North, South, and Central America as well as Europe.
