Warnings
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, Operation of this device is subject to the fol-
lowing conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
Installation:
The WMT-3000 transmitter is used with the Dakota Alert WR-3000 receiver. The WMT-3000 trans-
mitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) detector to detect people, vehicles or large animals at the
monitored location. When the transmitter detects an object, it will send a signal to the receiver,
which will sound one of four different tones (Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, or Whis-
tle) for a few seconds. The transmitter can be used as a driveway alarm, or in the back yard to
monitor around tool sheds or patios.
Operation:
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.
3. Set dip switches 9 and 10 to control the desired zone, tune, and relay output.
For maximum range between the transmitter and receiver, the transmitter should be mounted
on a wooden post or tree (steel posts may cause interference with the radio signal). Although
the maximum range is about 3,000 feet, obstruction such as hills, trees, metal siding, and stuc-
co can reduce the range.

1. When looking at the PIR you will
see clips on the sides of the plastic case .
Push one of the clips away from the center
of the case and lift out the PIR and the plastic
backing. You will now be looking inside of
the case at the radio transmitter (figure 2)
2. Locate the dip switches in the WMT-3000
transmitter module (figure 2).

3. The first eight dip switches are for the
frequency setting (256 combinations). Set
switches 1-8 (3) to match the eight switches
in the receiver.
4. Switches 9 and 10 (4) are for the zone/
channel setting on the transmitter. The
four zones are as follows:
Note: The transmitters and receivers are preset
at the factory. DO NOT change settings, unless
changing the tune or experiencing false signals.

Mounting the transmitter:
1. Select a location to mount the transmit-
ter, such as a post or tree.
2. For best results, the transmitter should be
about three to four feet off the ground, and
about twenty feet from the side of the drive.
3. The transmitter will detect people or
vehicles to about eighty feet, but occasion-
ally it may detect one hundred feet. For this
reason, it is best to avoid pointing the trans-
mitter at streets or roads in the distance.
4. The transmitter must remain completely
immobile or a false signal may result. For
this reason, avoid mounting the transmitter
on flimsy objects or small diameter trees
that may move in the wind

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)
2. Gently lift off the front cover.
3. 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 first 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 operate properly.
Frequency: 433.92 MHz
Operating range: -30˚F to 110˚F
Battery life: 6-12 months
Reset time: 15 seconds

Troubleshooting the WMT-3000
Although the WMT-3000 should be very reliable, there are occasions when you might have false
alarms or a failure to alert. If you are getting false alarms, please try this:
• Set filter jumper to “ON”.
• Decrease sensitivity jumper.
• Make sure that the transmitter is not pointing at a road in the distance.
• The sun may be causing false signals; try to relocate the transmitter to a different position.
• Make sure the transmitter is not detecting animals.
If the transmitter is not detecting, try one of these:
• Change the battery in the transmitter.
• Make sure the transmitter and receiver are coded alike.
• Change the height and distance of the transmitter from the driveway.
• Move the transmitter closer to the receiver.
• Keep the transmitter away from large metal objects that may interfere with the radio signal.
