Product Description

MySpot™ **0 is a low cost, self-contained, remote controlled barrier. The “**0” is self-powered and restricts unauthorized access to parking spaces, driveways and access ramps, while providing the convenience of remote control to authorized vehicles. MySpot **0 uses a proprietary method of capturing energy from the vehicle’s weight and storing the power to lower and raise the barrier on command. This eliminates the need to connect the device to an electrical power source, or the bulk and cost of batteries with solar panel recharging. Installation is simple and fast – no digging or major site preparation is required. Two steel plates are mounted on the surface of the parking space or driveway using bolts or a construction-grade adhesive. The MySpot **0 pods are then attached to these plates with security bolts. The energy storage system and the electronics that mange it are sealed in a rugged housing (“PowerPod”), to resist water, debris and harsh environment. A second housing (“IdlePod”), without active components, is mounted on the other end of the barrier acting as a bearing. The barrier is *3” (**9 cm) long and stands *6.5” (*2 cm) tall when raised. A “Reserved” reflective label is affixed to the front of the barrier. If excessive force is applied to the barrier, a safety mechanism acts to disengage the barrier from the PowerPod. This prevents internal damage to the pod mechanism, to the barrier itself and protects the bases from being pulled off the driveway. A disengaged barrier will automatically re-engage when the force is removed. MySpot **0 is supplied with two radio transmitters. The system can accommodate up to *5 transmitters. The radio code system is compatible with the HomeLink� programmable visor transmitter, available as a factory option on luxury cars worldwide. The radio receiver in MySpot **0 is powered by replaceable, common Alkaline “D” batteries, with over 2 years’ life expectancy.
