If you are a returning customer, you need to add your newest Flex Aware Connected Cable(s) to your "Sensor Activity" and "Sensor Left Open" notifications on your account.

3. Test Your Notification

Before installing your Flex Aware Connected Cable, ensure that your mobile device is receiving the push notification. To do this, trigger your device by removing the key pin and contact from the bracket plate. Wait until you receive a notification, then replace the contact and key pin. 

If you received a push notification on your mobile device, you can continue with the installation. If you did not receive a push notification, try again and repeat step 2. If it still does not work, please follow these troubleshooting steps.

1. Gather Recommended Tools
   Before you head to your installation location, make sure to gather any tools you may need to assist you in your installation. 
   • Drill
   • Drill bit
     • Wood screws: 1/16th in
     • Self tapping screws for metal: 1/8th in
   • Phillips head #2 screwdriver for hand tightening screws
   • Pliers for tightening/cutting zip ties
2. Determine Installation Method
   In your box you will find 4 wood screws, 4 self tapping screws, zip ties, and dual lock tape. You can determine which installation method to use based upon your installation location.  
   
   • Use screws for an extremely durable, permanent solution on wooden or other penetrable surfaces, like pasture gates with wood posts (recommended method). 
     • Use the wood screws for wooden surfaces 
     • Use the self tapping screws for metal surfaces
   • Use zip ties for metallic, impenetrable surfaces that are thin enough for the zip ties to wrap around, like pool gates or metal pasture gates.
   • We do not recommend using the dual lock tape on its own, but rather to assist when installing with zip ties or screws. Apply the dual lock tape to the back of the device and then secure the device to the post with zip ties or screws for a secure installation. 
3. Install Your Device
