Description
This is the magnetometer-based probe sensor featured in the MURS-based Dakota Alert kit. When a metallic object passes through the zone, this probe will create a magnetic zone that sends a radio signal to the compatible M538-HT or M538-BS receiver.
The probe may be buried parallel to, or under, a driveway up to 2-3 miles from the receiver.
For detailed information about the probe, please visit the MAPS-BS-KIT.

Mr.Pollock,
Good morning. The DCPA-4000 is a wireless system that would detect cars only. The transmitter is a magnetometer probe that you bury in the ground parallel to your driveway or even under the driveway (if driveway is dirt or gravel). The probe has 50′ of wire connected to a transmitter box that is powered by 4 x CR123a lithium batteries. When a large metallic object passes through the magnetic zone (10′-12′) emitted by the probe, it triggers the transmitter to send a signal to the compatible receiver. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank you,
Customer Support Team
