Warnings
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, Operation of this device is subject to the
following 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
transmitter 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 Whistle) 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.

3.
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, obstructions such as hills, trees, metal
siding, and stucco can reduce the range.
Coding the transmitter:
1. WhenlookingatthePIR (figure1)you will
see clips on the sides of the plastic case .
Push one of the clips away from the center
ofthecase andliftoutthe PIRandtheplastic
backing. You will now be looking inside of
the case at the radio transmitter

in the receiver.

3 to
4 ft
Mounting the transmitter:
1. Select a location to mount the transmitter,
such as a post or tree.
2. For best results, the transmitter should
be about three to four feet off the
ground, and about 20 feet from the side
of the drive.
3. The transmitter will detect people or vehicles
to about 80 feet, but occasionally it may
detect past 100 feet. For this reason, it is
best to avoid pointing the transmitter 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 trans-
mitter 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:
• 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.
