Introduction
The UT-2500 transmitter is compatible with the DCR-2500 receiv-
er. The UT-2500 has several methods of activation. First, it has a
push button that can be used as a panic button or doorbell. The
UT-2500 also has terminals for a normally open (N/O) or normally
closed (N/C) input. These inputs can be used with any detector
contacts. There is also a magnetic contact that can be used for
doors or windows. When the transmitter is activated, it will send a
signal to the receiver which will sound one of four dierent tones
(Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, or Whistle) for a few
seconds, or activate the relay outputs.
Operation:
(Always test unit prior to installation)
1. Remove the four screws on the back
of the case and open to nd the battery
compartment and dip switches. (Figure
1)
2. Install the CR-2 battery in the holder
3. Set the dip switches 1-8 on the trans-
mitter module to match the receiver.
4. Set dip switches 9 and 10 to control
the desired zone, tune, and relay out-
put. (See Coding the transmitter for info
on setting the dip switches.)
Installing the battery:
1. Use only a CR-2, 3 Volt Lithium battery.
2. Be sure to observe proper polarity when installing the battery.
LED indicator light in button:
1. The default setting is for the LED indicator to light up for two
seconds when the UT-2500 is activated.
2. To deactivate the LED, press and hold the push button while
installing the battery.
3. To return to the default LED setting remove the battery and
then re-install the battery.
Coding the transmitter:
1. Open the transmitter.
2. Locate the 10 dip switches in the transmitter
(Figure 2).
3. The rst eight dip switches are for the fre-
quency setting (256 combinations). Set switches 1-8 to match the
eight switches in the receiver.
4. Switches 9-10 are for the zone/channel setting on the transmit-
ter. The four zones are as follows:
5. After any changes are made to the dip switches, the battery
must be disconnected and then reconnected for changes to take
eect.
Connecting an exterior detector:
The UT-2500 can be activated by
any type of detector which provides
a normally open (N/O) or normally
closed (N/C) output.
1. Locate the terminals at the bot-
tom of the case. (Figure 3)
2. Insert the wires through the sili-
cone gasket and make the connec-
tions on the terminals.
Note: a 22 AWG solid wire can be used
to easily pierce the silicone gasket. If
using a lighter wire you may need to
pierce the gasket with a paper clip or
small needle.
3. For a normally closed (N/C) connection, connect the wires to
the NC and Common (center) terminals.
4. For a normally open (N/O) connection, connect the wires be-
tween the NO and Common (center)terminals.

Using the magnetic contact:
The magnetic contact can be used on most
doors/windows with a gap of less than ½ inch.
1. Mount the push button on the door jam
with the screws provided.
2. Mount the magnet on the door (within ½” of
the push button) with the screws provided.
3. After mounting the magnet on the door
snap the cover on the magnet case.
4. The magnetic contact can be used on either side of the push
button. (Figure 4)
Using multiple detectors:
If multiple normally closed (N/C) contacts are to be used, they
should be run in series to the N/C contacts.
If multiple normally open (N/O) contacts are used, they should be
run in parallel to the N/O contacts.
Note: Both N/O and N/C contacts can be used simultaneously along
with the magnetic contact and push button.
Mounting the transmitter:
The transmitter can be mounted
to any wall using the mounting
bracket. (Figure 5)
The mounting bracket is located
on the back of the UT-2500 and
can be removed by simply sliding
it o. Position the bracket were
you would like it and place two
screws in the holes provided. To
place the UT-2500 back simply
slide it over the bracket.
If mounting the UT-2500 outdoors it is recommended to place the
silicone plugs in the screw holes at the back of the case to prevent
moisture from entering the case.

Coding the receiver:
1. Open the receiver case by inserting a small screwdriver into
one of the pry notches on the side of the case (refer to receiver
manual) and gently lift o the front cover.
2. Locate the eight dip switches on the receiver and make sure
they are set identically to dip switches 1-8 on the transmitter.
Note: If more than one transmitter is used with the receiver, the
rst eight dip switches of all transmitters must match the eight dip
switches of the receiver.
Note: Whenever a change is made to the time jumper or the dip
switches, the receiver must be turned OFF and then back ON to oper-
ate properly.
