Driveway Sensor Wiring Plan

I'll install it to test in the next hour.

Hopefully the sensor was the failure point and NOT the controller in the house. I should know within the hour.

W4UoA

coming back to life. KPA500 and KAT500 working FB.

RCForb not connected. Not sure I'll do that before K3 returns. It's scheduled to get to the repair bench this week. May be next week before it makes it back to the rack.

New Service Ground

Construction of the new electrical service ground is underway.  

The first picture shows the radio room connection panel with #4 service ground coming through the wall. The ground wire can be directly traced back to the Sand Mountain service entrance ground rod and no other ground rod.

The second picture shows the entrance way connection panel with #4 service ground coming from the outside through the 1" PVC.  The ground wire is connected directly to the Sand Mountain service entrance ground rod and no other ground rod.

Clamped to the service entrance ground are two additional ground wires: 
  1. one to a grounding strip.
  2. one to a #4 wire that goes through the wall into the radio room and grounds the radio room entrance panel.
Let's discuss!  All thoughts welcome.
