Introduction: The IR-3000 is a wireless PIR sensor that is com-
patible with the Dakota Alert 3000 Series of transmitters and
receivers. The IR-3000 is designed for indoor applications or
outdoor applications in a protected area such as under an eve.
When the sensor detects an object it will send a signal to the
receiver which will sound one of four dierent tones (Classical,
Westminster chime, Ding Dong, Whistle.) for a few seconds.
Operation: (Always test unit prior to installation)
1. Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery to the transmitter.
2. Set the dip switches 1-8 on the transmitter module to match
the receiver. (gures 2 & 3)
3. Set dip switches 9 and 10 to control the desired zone, tune,
and relay output. (gures 2 & 3)
4. Mount on wall 6 to 8 feet high slightly pointing down. Figure 1

PIR settings: Loosen the phillips screw on the bottom of the case and swivel the top cover up to
reveal the PIR board (gure 1). (The screw is captured in the case and will not come completely
out.) The jumper settings are as follows:
Detection Range: High - 40 feet
Medium - 25 feet
Low - 12 feet
LED: ON - led will ash when it detects
OFF - led is always dark
Filter: ON - set for outdoor use
OFF - set for indoor use
Reset: 15 seconds to reset after activation
120 seconds to reset after activation
Dip Switches: 1 & 2 should both be OFF
(on the PIR board)
Coding the transmitter:
Note: The transmitter and receiver frequencies are preset
at the factory. DO NOT change settings, unless changing
the tune or experiencing false signals.
1. Just above the PIR board is a small clip on the case. Pull on this clip and the center portion of
the case will swivel down to reveal the radio transmitter and battery slot (gure 2).

2. Locate the 10 dip switches on the transmitter module (gure 3).
3. The rst eight dip switches are for the frequency setting (256 combinations). Set
switches 1-8 (gure 3-3) to match the eight switches in the receiver.3. Switches 9 and
10 (gure 3-4) are for zone/channel setting on the transmitter. The four zones are
listed below.
Low battery alert: If the receiver sounds a second alert 30 seconds after the rst alert, provided
nothing trips the transmitter again, the 9-volt battery in the transmitter should be changed.

Setting the detection area:
The IR-3000 comes with a user modiable mask on
the lens (gure 4) to adjust the width of the de-
tection area from approximately 16
˚
to 100
˚ . The
mask comes in two pieces, and ts into the slots
above & below the lens cover. Each half of the
mask is perforated and can broken into three sep-
arate strips (gure 4). Each strip of the mask rep-
resents approximately 16
˚
of viewing angle. The
user breaks o the appropriate number of strips to
provide the required viewing angle. For example,
to monitor a 48
˚
angle (gure 5), break o three
strips from the mask (3 x 16
˚ = 48 ˚ ).
NOTE: The two halves of the mask do not need to
be symmetrical, a dierent number of strips can be
broken o either side.
Frequency: 433.92 MHz
Operating range: -30˚F to 110˚F
Battery life: 6-12 months

Swivel mount
Swivel Mount
The IR-3000 has a swivel mount (gure 6) which also provides for adjustment of the detection area.
The mount can be adjusted right or left up to 80oand up or down up to 50o. The swivel mount
can be attached to the desired surface with the provided mount- i n g
screws. The sensor is then attached to the mount using the notch
on the back (gure 6).
NOTE: The mount will slide easily into the slot and lock into po-
sition one way only. If the mount does not slide into the slot, do
not force it. Rotate the swivel joint 180 degrees and then slide
the mount into position.
