Installation Guide
FIRST, test the equipment by:
1. Plugging in the Control Panel
2. Turning the Whistle Switch ON if you have a DA-600, or plugging in DA-078 Chime if you have a DA-605P, or putting batteries
in the DA-080 if you have a DA-605B
3. Install two (2) AA batteries in the Sensor/Transmitter, observing polarity, and turn it on in the same room as the Control Panel/
Receiver. Turning on the Sensor/Transmitter will send a signal to the Control Panel/Receiver for about 15 seconds. The VALID
XMSN LED should turn on on the Control Panel/Receiver, and the audible alert should respond. If the Sensor/Transmitter is
moved after a one minute interval, the Control Panel/Receiver will be triggered again. (ex: walking while carrying the Sensor)
Once testing proves the units are communicating correctly, proceed to the following pages to learn how to:
• Properly mount the Control Panel
• Properly place the Sensor/Transmitter in the area you wish to monitor
• Properly place the chimes on a DA-605P or DA-605B system
• Test the installation
• Add accessories or long-range options

Wireless Drive-Alert Control Panel Installation Guide
The DA-600 Drive-Alert has an internal piezo electric whistle inside the Control Panel as the audible-alert. The whistle may be
switched off if desired. The whistle and the whistle switch can be seen on the top of the DA-600 Control Panel.
DA-600 Control Panel front view top view
The DA-605 Drive-Alert’s Control Panel/Receiver board is the same as the DA-600. However, the DA-605 does not have an
internal whistle, nor a whistle switch. The advantage of the DA-605 over the DA-600 is the DA-066MP Wireless Chime Transmitter
which activates remote chimes as an alert. Any combination or quantity of DA-078 Plug-in Chimes and/or DA-080 Battery-powered
Portable Chimes may be used. Each chime is activated by a radio signal from the DA-066MP attached to the control panel. These
chimes can be used up to 100’ away from the control panel. As stated, the DA-078 plugs into any standard wall outlet. The DA-080
can be taken into the backyard, out to the pool & etc. The DA-066MP can be seen on top of the DA-605 Control Panel.
DA-605 Control Panel front view top view
The relay contacts on the terminal board are Form C dry contacts. These relay contacts may be supplied with 24 or 5 volts DC with
the addition of a jumper from the needed voltage to the C terminal. The Control Panel will operate any of Mier’s Drive-Alert
accessories listed on the “Accessories” pages of this manual. It can also be used to control other external bells, surveillance systems,
signs, gates and relays. An adjustable time control provides 2 to 12 seconds of relay closer for each vehicle detected.
CONTROL PANEL/RECEIVER INSTALLATION: (Sensor/Transmitter installation are on pages 5-7)
The Control Panel/Receiver is to be mounted indoors, 4-6 feet above ground level, where 110 volts AC power is available. To
maximize transmitter reception, the exible antenna is to be at least 12 inches from any metal pipes, power conduits, breaker boxes,
etc. Simply plug the Control Panel/Receiver into a standard wall outlet, where the signal from the Sensor/Transmitter can reach it.
For extended ½-mile range reception, or when a Control Panel must be mounted in a basement, the DA-600LR and DA-605LR
long-range systems include a special antenna “F” connector on the Control Panel/Receiver, and also inlcude a DA-660 Reception
Booster Antenna. (see the Long Range Options page)
A DA-600 Drive-Alert has a WHISTLE ON-OFF SWITCH on top of the Control Panel.
A DA-605 Drive-Alert has a remote chime with volume control. Plug in the DA-078 Remote Chime(s) or place the DA-080 Portable
Chime(s) in the area(s) of the house where an alert is desired. The DA-080 Battery Operated Portable Chime needs two (2) D batteries
which will last about 3 years. For all options and operation instructions of the chimes, see the instructions enclosed with the chimes.
The DA-078 and DA-080 chimes may be located in multiple rooms and locations, and the DA-605 can trigger an unlimited number
of chimes within 100+ feet of the DA-605 Control Panel.
Testing the communication between a DA-605 Control Panel and the Chimes is accomplished by pushing the DA-066MP Test/Call
Push-Button attached to the top of the Control Panel, and holding the button down for AT LEAST two (2) seconds, which sends a
315 MHz radio signal to trigger the two-tone (ding-dong) remote DA-078 chimes and/or DA-080 chimes. As stated, this signal will
reach at least 100 feet to the chimes. The chimes can be tested independent of the Drive-Alert Sensor/Transmitter.
The DA-066MP Chime Transmitter, and the DA-078 and DA-080 chime codes are preset. Do not change the codes.

Wireless Drive-Alert Control Panel Installation Guide
Under the Control Panel/Receiver cover you will see the electrical board (FIGURE 1).
A Power LED GREEN indicates that the power is on and that the internal 1 Amp Fuse is okay.
An Alert LED RED indicates the Sensor/Transmitter has detected a vehicle, the Sensor/Transmitter has been moved, or their is another
disturbance in the magnetic eld around the Sensor/Transmitter.
A Low Sensor Battery Warning LED YELLOW indicates when batteries are low at the Sensor/Transmitter. This LED will stay on until
the battery voltage in the Sensor/Transmitter is above 2.7 volts DC. NOTE: Before changing batteries in the Sensor/Transmitter,
unplug the Control Panel/Receiver and wait at least one minute after replacing batteries in the Sensor/Transmitter before plugging it
back in. This prevents unwanted alarms and resets the low battery detector.
The Control Panel/Receiver Address Code Switches (see SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4) must be set to match those in the Sensor/
Transmitter. These switches are preset at the factory for code 0000. They should only be changed if the Sensor/Transmitter code is
also changed. An example of when you would want to switch these codes is when two neighbors, living right next to each other,
both have Drive-Alerts: one neighbor should switch codes so both their alerts remain exclusive to their own driveways.
The Relay Time Control is preset at minimum of 2seconds of alarm time. The maximum relay closer time is 12 seconds.
The Valid Transmission LED RED is on when the Control Panel/Receiver detects a valid transmission of its address, and the Alert LED
is on when the relay is closed.
NOTE: Sensor/Alert Sensitivity Control is on the Sensor/Transmitter (see page 6), and is NOT controlled by this Control Panel.

Mier Products’ Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor/Transmitters detect the changes in the magnetic
eld (movement of metal) within 14’ in every direction. Therefore, they will not false-alarm from
animals, wind, rain, etc. The Transmitter electrical boards are epoxied and also encased in a
durable, weather-sealed, NEMA 4X housing for worry free weather and corrosion protection. They
are able to detect through standard building materials such as brick, stone, vinyl siding, etc. so in
many drive-up window applications they may be installed inside the wall next to the drive. They are
powered by two AA alkaline batteries, and include circuitry to transmit a low-battery condition to
Mier’s Drive-Alert Control Panel/Receivers when batteries begin to run low.
The Sensor (aka: probe or wand) portion of any of these Sensor/Transmitters should be placed
next to the drive or area to be monitored, and at least 50 feet from any road trafc to prevent false
alarms. The Sensor can be placed in any orientation, parallel or perpendicular to the drive. Any
movement of the Sensor will cause an alarm for asset protection.
Transmitting range from the Transmitter to the Control Panel/Receiver is 500 feet if placed on the
ground, up to 1000’ if mounted 2-4’ high on a metal, wood or concrete post or a convenient
building, and up to 1/2-mile if a long-range system is ordered, which includes a DA-660 reception
booster antenna. (See the Long Range Options page to learn more about the booster antenna,
adding repeaters, or adding additional DA-100 control panels)
If occasional false alarms occur, or you are not detecting some vehicles, you can try re-locating the
Sensor, or you can reduce sensor sensitivity. There is a small blue sensitivity pot on the electrical
board. Maximum sensitivity adjustment is clockwise and minimum is counter-clockwise (note
arrow direction). Reducing sensitivity would reduce detection of road trafc, but would also reduce
the detection sensitivity in the driveway. (See next page for directions)
Lightning strikes cause a large disturbance in the magnetic eld, so nearby strikes will cause an
alarm. It is also possible for electrical current variations in nearby power lines to cause an alarm.
The address codes for these Sensor/Transmitters, as well as the Control Panel/Receivers are pre-set at
the factory. However, if a unique address code is needed (e.g. interference from a neighbor’s Mier
wireless Drive-Alert) you can change the address codes making sure you do so in both the Sensor/
Transmitter AND the Control Panel/Receiver so they are different than factory spec, but still match
one another. (See next page for directions)
The Differences between Mier’s three Sensor/Transmitter Choices:
The DA-610TO Sensor/Transmitter: Both the Sensor and the Transmitter are contained in the same
NEMA 4X enclosure. (See photo at the top left) This unit is standard with complete systems.
The DA-611TO Remote-Sensor/Transmitter: The Sensor is outside the Transmitter Box, and
attached to the Transmitter by a 50’ cable (cable lengths up to 1000 feet are available). This allows
the sensor probe to be buried under or next to the driveway or area to be monitored, and the
transmitter box to be hidden up to 50’ away or placed high above ground for a better range. The
sensor should be buried 6-12 inches below ground and the cable 3-6 inches below ground. Mier
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS burying the cable in 1/2-inch PVC pipe to protect it. Try the Sensor and
Transmitter locations above ground for a week, before burying the Sensor and cable.
The DA-612TO Remote-Sensor/Transmitter: Is just like the DA-611TO, but with 2 external sensors.

Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor Installation Guide
The Sensor portion of a DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO contain the sensing and transmitting electronics and should to be
placed in the area you wish to monitor moving vehicles or assets. The detection threshold is set by a sensitivity control (See FIGURE
2: Right Hand/Middle) on the transmitter circuit board. Maximum sensitivity adjustment is Clockwise and minimum is Counter-
Clockwise. In most cases the factory sensitivity will function for the installation.
For maximum range, the Transmitter portion of the DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO should be placed 3+ feet above ground
on a post, tree, or hung from any convenient point. The front of the Transmitter Box should also face the Control Panel/Receiver in
the home/business for best range.
The Transmitter operates on 2 - AA alkaline batteries providing 3.0 volts DC to the electronics. Please observe correct polarity
when installing. Typical battery life is 1-2 years in a residential installation. The Transmitter sends a continuous signal for about 1
minute after the power switch is turned on, and then is ready to act on Sensor inputs. When the battery voltage reaches 2.7 volts,
a low battery signal is sent to the Control Panel/Receiver in the home/business and the LO BATT LED on the Control Panel/Receiver
will be lit to indicate the batteries should be replaced soon. The receiver can be muted by turning off the whistle switch or unplug-
ging the chime to avoid annoying alarms while replacing batteries, working on or moving the Drive-Alert. After installing batteries
and conrming operation, the top cover can be put back on the enclosure with careful attention to keeping the gasket in place
and not over-tightening the screws on the cover which would cause the case to crack. Failing to do either will result in moisture
entering the enclosure. The Sensor/Transmitter can now be placed in position.
The Sensor/Transmitter Address Code Switches (see Figure 3, ADDRESS) must be set to match those in the Control Panel/Receiver.
These switches are preset at the factory for code 0000. They should only be changed if the Control Panel/Reciever code is also
changed. An example of when you would want to switch these codes is when two neighbors, living right next to each other, both
have Drive-Alerts: one neighbor should switch codes so both their Drive-Alerts remain exclusive to their own driveways.
*NOTE: The optional DA-611TO or DA-612TO are used in cases where it is impossible to securely place the Transmitter Box near
the driveway or area that needs monitoring, or when extra transmission distance is needed.

Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor Installation Guide
1) Place the Control Panel/Receiver inside the home or ofce at least 5 feet above ground level, and plug the power cord into
an AC receptacle. The power light in the lower right hand corner of the Control Panel/Receiver will now be ON.
2) Make certain the alert annunciators are ON:
• On DA-600 models containing a piezo whistle, slide Whistle Switch on the Control Panel to the ON position
• On DA-605 models using wireless chimes, plug-in or install batteries in the wireless chimes
3) Place Sensor within 3 feet of the edge of the driveway, or the equipment/area to be monitored. The closer the better!
4) The Transmitter Box should be at least a few inches off of the ground to prevent heavy rains from ooding the unit. For
optimal detection and transmission range, mount the transmitter three (3) feet off of the ground.
5) Make sure the Sensor and Transmitter Box are at least 50 feet from streets or roads, and 40 feet from power lines.
6) Test the system using a vehicle to pass by the Sensor @ 5MPH or by swinging a steel object along the long side of the Sensor
setting off the audible alert.
Once testing is successful, choose the nal mounting locations and perform Step 6 repetitively for consistent detection and nalize
installation.

Wireless Drive-Alert Installation Guide
Additional Tips for Reliable Installation:
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver within 10 feet of a wireless modem, cell phone, or cordless phone
• DO NOT put the Control Panel/Receiver in a basement unless it is a Long-Range Control/Panel Receiver with a DA-660 Long-
Range Antenna
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver outdoors
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver within 12 inches of Aluminum or Steel electrical enclosures, which would cause
interference
• If you must mount the Control Panel/Receiver inside a Stucco wall, or aluminum sided wall, use a Long Range system which
includes a DA-660 Long Range Antenna which can be mounted outside the wall.
• For long-range applications, consider a Long-Range Drive-Alert System which includes a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna
which can be mounted in an attic for additional range. Note: metal roofs will interfere with the signal, but wood/shingle is ne.
• Aluminum or Steel obstructions in the direct path of the line-of-sight from the Transmitter to the Control Panel/Receiver will
cause interference. In these cases, consider using a Long-Range Drive-Alert System and running the Reception Booster Antenna
to an area where it receives a direct signal from the Transmitter
• If there are hills in the terrain between the Transmitter Box and Control Panel/Receiver, you may need to use a DA-611TO or DA-
612TO Sensor/Transmitter and/or a Long Range Drive-Alert System
• E-Glass windows in the path of the line-of-sight between the Transmitter and Control Panel/Receiver will cause interference. In
these installations, move the Control Panel/Receiver away from the window, or consider a Long Range Drive-Alert System.
• Mount the Sensor parallel to the driveway whenever possible
• DO NOT mount the Sensor more than 3 feet from the edge of the driveway, or equipment/area to be monitored
• DO NOT mount the Sensor more than 4 feet above ground which is above the non-ferrous belt-line and might result in missed
detection
• Mount the Sensor securely: IT MUST BE STABLE AND MOTIONLESS! Any movement of the sensor will cause an alarm. Don’t
mount the Sensor on a tree, post or gate that might move in the wind.
• DO NOT mount the Sensor where it might be near underground or above ground power lines. Power surges in the sensor area
will cause false alarms.
• DO NOT bury the Transmitter Box in the ground.
• DO NOT install the Transmitter Box in an Aluminum, Copper or Steel enclosure which will result in shielding the signal

Four Options for Long Range Drive-Alert Installations
The DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna is perfect when monitoring remote buildings or equipment:
This antenna is used to increase the standard reception distance of 1000-feet, to up to 1/2-mile from the Sensor/Transmitter to the
Control Panel/Receiver. Please keep in mind this is a FACTORY INSTALLED option, and must be ordered at the time the Drive-Alert
Control Panel/Receiver is ordered by adding an “LR” for long-range at the end of the part number. For example, a long range version
of a standard DA-605P, which would include this antenna, is a DA-605PLR.
Retro-tting an existing Drive-Alert can be done, but the system must be sent into the factory as additions need to be made to the
Control Panel/Receiver electrical board.
* 34” Long, 13” Wide, 1” High and weighs approximately 1 pound
* Frequency = 434 mHz
* Impedance = 75 Ohms
* Gain = 10.6 dB
* Type = 7 Element Yagi
The DA-REPEATER is perfect for providing additional alerts in remote buildings
This Drive-Alert Signal Repeater can an be attached to any DA-600, DA-605 or DA-500 Drive-Alert Control Panel/Receiver. It will
repeat the alert signal to other wireless Control Panel/Receivers (DA-100CP, DA-600CP, DA-605CP) up to an additonal 1000 feet
away. If a site has multiple buildings and/or locations where an alert is desired, add a DA-REPEATER to a DA-600 or DA-605 Control
Panel/Receiver, and then add DA-100CP Chimes with Volume Control (shown below) in those other buildings.
The DA-100CP Long Distance Remote Chime for adding chimes to remote buildings:
The DA-100CP is actually a self-contained Control Panel/Receiver on its own, and receives a signal from up to 1000-feet
of any of Mier’s wireless Sensor/Transmitters, OR a DA-REPEATER (shown above), and provides a pleasant tone as an
alert. It also includes volume control.
The DA-611TO and DA-612TO Sensor/Transmitters increase transmission distance:
The Sensor(s) is/are outside the Transmitter Box, and attached to the Transmitter by a 50-foot cable (cable lengths up to 1000 feet are
available). This allows the sensor probe to be buried under or next to the driveway or area to be monitored, and the transmitter box to
be hidden up to 50’ away or placed high above ground for an increased transmitting range. The sensor should be buried 6-12 inches
below ground and the cable 3-6 inches below ground. Mier HIGHLY RECOMMENDS burying the cable in 1/2-inch PVC pipe to
protect it. Try the Sensor and Transmitter locations above ground for a week, before burying the Sensor and cable.
Note: installation instructions come with these Sensor/Transmitters when ordered, or are available for download on our website.

Wireless Drive-Alert Troubleshooting Trees
Step 1 - Check to make sure the Power Light is on. If not, replace the internal 1A fuse, or send to Mier Products for repair.
Step 2 - Make sure the Control Panel is mounted in an above ground area where its antenna can receive a good signal from
the Sensor/Transmitter, and make sure the Sensor/Transmitter is in a position free where it can send a signal freely.
Make sure there are no large metal objects, mirrors, aluminum siding, etc. between the Control Panel and the Sensor/
Transmitter. There is a “continuous on” or “test” switch inside the transmitter to help you test signal strength.
Step 3 - Check to make sure all address codes inside the Control Panel match the address codes in the Sensor/Transmitter
Enclosure.
Step 4 - If installing a DA-605P, make sure the address codes in the small DA-066 mounted on the side of the Control Panel
match the address codes in the Chimes.
Step 5 - If installing a DA-605P, make sure there are no large metal objects, mirrors, appliances, etc. between the Control Panel
and the Chimes
False Alarms No Detection or
Intermittent Detection
Check the sensor/transmitter
placement to make sure it is
mounted securely, and not in a
tree if a DA-610TO (this is ok if
using a DA-611TO).
