CITY OF LOS BANOS DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC SAFETY FIRE SERVICES December 6, 2006

All City Departments & Mutual Aid Partners: In an effort to assure that all City Departments, as well as Mutual Aid partners have 24 hour a day access to the gated communities within our City, the Fire Department has implemented a “Click to Enter” program that requires all proposed gated communities to install radio controlled receivers on their gates that have been programmed for your departments existing radios. This system does not require any modifications to your equipment, and the full expense of the program is the responsibility of the developer. This system allows your responders to open the gate by simply keying the mic in their vehicle or their portable radio. Instructions to activate the gate opener Upon approaching a gate equipped with a “Click to Enter” unit, there will be a solid green light located on the front of the receiver. The receiver is a grey box with a blue and yellow “Click to Enter” logo on it. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Keep your radio on your department’s primary frequency. Depress radio mic button & hold (approximately 2 seconds) A RED activation light turns ON When the RED light turns OFF release the mic button The red light will then blink rapidly & the gate will open The gate will close automatically after 15 minutes or instantly if the mic is keyed for a 2 second period.

The first of these units is already in service at the Four Seasons gated community located in the 800 Block of West “H” Street. Please encourage your responders to view and test the system in an effort to become familiar with its operation. Please note, and relay to your responders that all activations of these gates will be electronically recorded within the “Click to Enter” unit, which will be audited randomly by our department. If you need any further information regarding this program, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly or visit the “Click to Enter” web site @ http://www.click2enter.net/.
