Siren Operated Sensor 14 Siren Operated Sensor
The Siren Operated Sensor 14 automatically opens gates when it detects a "Yelp" siren for three seconds, providing rapid emergency vehicle access with no codes, keys, or remotes required. Replaces part number SOS 12.
Overview
The Siren Operated Sensor 14 is the latest iteration of the Siren-Operated Sensor and a direct replacement for the SOS 12. Designed for emergency vehicle access, it detects a "Yelp" siren for three seconds and signals the gate operator to open automatically, eliminating the need for codes, keys, or remotes and saving critical time for first responders. A downward-facing microphone improves omnidirectional siren detection, while an improved conduit spacing design allows a locknut to secure the device with ease.
