Basic Overview

® Lite is a high performance wireless driveway alarm that sounds an alert in your home whenever a visitor drives or walks through its detection beam.  It uses a proper photo-electric beam, making it more immune to false alarms than PIR based systems.  Never miss a customer or intruder again.

® is hand assembled in New Zealand and designed to operate in sub-zero temperatures as reliably as the penetrating heat of the Australian outback.

The beam-set may be installed as a home ‘driveway alarm’ or across wider areas, protecting fuel storage tanks and implement sheds for example.

The detection beam itself can span up to 40m of open ground.  Wireless operating range between the Beam-set and Base Receiver is typically 120m through a few obstacles but not dense bush or ground.

See our ® Extended if you require our best range driveway alarm, or the ® Standard if you require our Standard high performance gate alarm.

Two-way Radio Supervision and On-board Diagnostics (displayed on Base Receiver) are features alarm installers routinely expect on wireless equipment – we haven’t seen these appear on any other driveway alarm yet.

® Lite is compatible with our Pocket Beeper*, POCSAG Pager*, Text Message Module* and easily interfaces with Alarm Panels.

(* optional extras, sold separately).

These kits include:
  • 1 700-FSK Base Receiver
  • 700-FSK Lite Beam-set(s)
  • A Solar Panel for each Beam Unit
  • Rechargeable Batteries for each Beam Unit
  • 12V AC Adaptor for each Base Receiver
  • Mounting Brackets for Beam-sets and solar panels
  • N.B. A 4-Zone Base receiver is also available with this product. Call us for a quote.
Detailed Overview
Base Receiver

The ® 700-FSK Two-zone Receiver sounds an alarm whenever any enrolled beam-set beam is interrupted.  The sound of the alarm differs, depending on whether the activated Beam-set is assigned to Zone 1 or Zone 2.

The Two-zone Receiver has a fixed volume control.  Other devices (or an alarm panel) interface with the Base Receiver via terminal blocks located on the back of the enclosure.  Located next to these terminal blocks is a Beam-set battery connector.  In the event a battery from the Beam-set needs to be re-charged quickly, it can be plugged into this battery connector.  N.B. Batteries should normally not require charging, if you find Low Battery warnings are being experienced, first inspect your solar panels for any cable faults, positioning or soiling then please contact us for further assistance.
The Four-zone Receiver has adjustable volume and tone, as well as the ability to mute volumes and switch off output connections.

Each Base Receiver comes with its own antenna and is powered with a supplied 12V AC adaptor.

Lite Beam-set

The ® 700-FSK Lite Beam-set is designed to monitor driveways or open ground with its precise invisible infra-red beam.

The beam-set is made up of two small Beam Units, installed directly opposite each other.  An infra-red beam is transmitted from one and received by the other.  Whenever the beam is broken, one Beam Unit sends an RF signal to the Base Receiver, alerting to the arrival of a person or vehicle.

The Beam-set is powered by internal rechargeable batteries which are kept charged via small mountable solar panels.

Solar Panels

Each Beam-set comes with two solar panels.  These solar panels are designed to keep the Beam-set batteries charged.

Our solar panels have been treated, specifically, to withstand salt spray and harsh UV rays which New Zealand experiences due to the depletion of the ozone layer.
