How do you set up a second receiver to work with the sensor? The instruction manual shows how to set up a second sensor, but not a second reciever.

Thanks,

Hello. You would set up a second receiver the same way you set up the first one. Place the 1st receiver aside, and follow these directions with the second receiver and the only sensor. You will want to erase the second receiver (just to be sure), and then add the exisiting sensor. Then, both receivers should sound for the sensor. (these directions are from the manual)

Quote:
There are two ways to teach new sensors to the receiver. The first
adds new sensors to the receiver. Existing sensors will still work with
the receiver. The second procedure erases all learned transmitters
and allows the user to re-teach new sensors to the receiver.
Adding New Sensors without erasing the original sensor
1. Unplug the power supply of the receiver.
2. Wait five seconds and then plug it in again.
3. The green light will burn briefly then go out as the red light turns
on. As soon as the red light comes on, press and release the
ALERT light. The red light will go out and the green light will
blink, indicating the receiver is ready to learn a new code.
4. The green power light should flash indicating the receiver is in
code learning mode. You have sixty seconds to learn the code
of the new sensor.
5. Activate the new sensor by rotating the sensor until you hear a
warbling chirp. (If you hear three separate chirps, like a small
bird, the receiver already has that sensor learned in memory).
6. When all sensors have been learned, press the ALERT light
briefly (you should hear several short beeps) and the receiver
resumes normal operation or simply wait an additional 60 seconds
and the receiver automatically exits the programming
mode.
Clearing the Receiver's Memory and Re-learning New Sensors
1. Unplug the power supply of the receiver.
2. Wait five seconds and then plug it in again.
3. The green light will burn briefly then go out as the red light turns
on. As soon as the red light comes on, press AND HOLD the
ALERT light. The receiver will emit a rapid series of peeps and
then a steady tone. Release the ALERT button.
4. The red light will go out and the green light will blink, indicating
the receiver is ready to learn codes from sensors. You have
one minute to teach each sensor.
5. Activate the new sensor by rotating it until you hear a response
from the receiver.
6. If you want to learn additional sensors as NON-DIRECTIONAL
devices, disconnect power at this point and go to “Adding New
Sensors".
7. DIRECTIONAL PAIRS OF DEVICES: If the first sensor is learned
after the CLEAR ALL procedure, additional sensors may be
learned in the same session. With this approach, all EVEN
NUMBERED driveway monitor sensors will be “outbounders”
and will prevent alarms. For example, suppose you place sensor
A near the road and B near the house. Learn A first and then
B in the same session. A car approaching the house from the
road will result in a sound. A car leaving the house will illuminate
the red light for fifteen seconds, and during this time the receiver
will be muted.” If there are four sensors on a loop driveway,
learn inthe sequence outer-inner-outer-inner.
Sound Notification for Two or More Sensors:
For each additional sensor learned, the receiver sounds two or more
extra beeps when these sensors are triggered. These additional beeps
indicate the order in which the sensor was learned. The original sensor
beeps the one alarm or chime sound when triggered. The second
learned sensor gives two extra beeps before the chime or alarm sound,
the third sensor learned gives three extra beeps, etc . . .

Thanks for the instructions Ryan. I'll try it.
