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-605
3. Install two (2) AA Lithium 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-605
• Test the installation
• Add accessories or long-range options

Wireless DA-600 and DA-605 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 DA-078 remote chimes as an alert. Unlimited DA-078 Plug-in 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-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-660 Long-Range Reception
Booster Antenna accessory can be used by simply removing the standard antenna and attaching coax cable and the DA-660. (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) in the area(s) of the house
where an alert is desired. For all options and operation instructions of the chimes, see the instructions enclosed with the chimes.
The DA-078 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. If chimes are desired even further away, see the DA-REPEATER and DA-100CP acces-
sories.
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. 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 chime codes are preset. Do not change the codes.

Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor/Transmitter Installation Guide
Mier Products’ Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor/Transmitters detect changes in the magnetic eld
(movement of metal) within 14 feet in every direction, based on a sedan traveling 5mph. Therefore,
they will not false-alarm from animals, wind, rain, etc. The Transmitter boards are epoxied and
encased in a durable, weather-sealed, box 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 batteries, Lithium are recommended, 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
(see next page). The Sensor should be parallel to the drive. Any movement of the Sensor will cause
an alarm for asset protection (ex. a tractor, a trailer, gas pump, etc).
The range from the Transmitter to the Control Panel/Receiver is 500 feet if placed on the ground, up
to 1000 feet if mounted 2-4 foot high on a wood or concrete post (never metal posts), and up to 3/4-
mile if a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna is used. (See the Long Range Options page to learn
more about the booster antenna, adding repeaters, or adding additional 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 two pages 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:
* 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 2500 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 Dual Sensor/Transmitter: Like the DA-611TO, but with 2 external sensors.

The Sensor/Probe portion of a DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO senses the vehicle and should to be placed less than 3 feet of
Zone/area you wish to monitor moving vehicles or assets (the closer the better). The Transmitter portion contains the electronics
inside the black box.
The Sensor and Transmitter operates on 2 - AA batteries providing 3.0 volts DC to the electronics. We highly recommend Lithium
batteries for longer use and better reliability in cold conditions. Please observe polarity when installing (see next page). 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. After installing batteries and conrming operation, the top cover can be put back on the en-
closure 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, and also NOT wiping off the thin layer of silicone oil on the underside of the cover. Failing to do either will
result in moisture entering the enclosure. The Sensor/Transmitter can now be placed in position.
For maximum range, the black box Transmitter portion of the DA-610TO, DA-611TO or DA-612TO should be placed 3 to 4 feet
above ground on a post, tree, etc.. The front of the Transmitter Box should also face the Control Panel/Receiver in the home/
business for best range. If the black box transmitter is on the ground the range will be 500 feet, but if it’s 3 to 4 feet off the ground
the range jumps to 1000’.
Make sure the Sensor and Transmitter Box are at least 50 feet from streets or roads, and 40 feet from power lines.
Test the system using a vehicle to pass by the Sensor at 5 to 10 MPH, or by swinging a steel object along the long side of the
Sensor. Either should set off the audible alert.
Once testing is successful, choose the nal mounting locations and perform vehicle pass or waving metal near the sensor tests
repetitively for consistent detection before nalizing installation (and burying any cable if needed).

If occasional false alarms occur, or you are not detecting some vehicles, you can try re-locating the Sensor, or you can reduce the
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 photo below.
The Transmitter Address Code Switches must be set to match those inside the Control Panel/Receiver. These switches are preset
at the factory for code 000 (no jumpers). 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 driveway.
The Transmitter Zone Code Switches are preset at the factory for code 000 (no jumpers) for just one Zone/driveway/area to
monitor. If more than one Zone is to be monitored, place jumpers on the Zone Pins on the electrical board in the black box to
active them, AND pull the jumper off of the JP3 Jumper Pin inside the white DA-700 or DA-100 Control Panel. The Drive-Alert
will give a different Chime tone for each Zone monitored.
This photo of the Transmitter board inside the black box shows where to place the batteries, turn it On, see the Valid Transmit light,
change the Detection Sensitivity (if needed), change Addressing (if needed), set for Zoning (if needed).

Wireless Drive-Alert Sensor/Transmitter Installation Guide

• Check to make sure the Power Light is on. If not, call Mier to check the 1 Amp fuse.
• To test the low battery function it is neccessary to install batteries that equal 2.5 volts or lower into the black outdoor Sensor/
Transmitter box to activate the word data bit to be detected by the white indoor Control Panel
• 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 using a DA-660 Reception Booster 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
• Make sure the Control Panel is mounted above-ground where its antenna can receive a signal from the Sensor/Transmitter, and
make sure the Sensor/Transmitter is in a position with clear line of sight where it can send a signal freely. Make sure there are
no trees, large metal objects, mirrors, aluminum siding, etc. between the Control Panel and the Sensor/Transmitter, as they will
cause interference. In these cases, use a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna mounted in an area where it receives a direct
signal.
• 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 area to be monitored
• DO NOT mount the Sensor more than 4 feet above ground: this is above the non-ferrous belt-line
• 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
• Make sure address codes inside the Control Panel match the address codes in the Sensor/Transmitter Box
• If you must mount the Control Panel/Receiver inside a Stucco wall, or aluminum sided wall, or in a basement use a DA-660
Reception Booster Antenna which can be mounted outside the wall
• For long-range applications, consider 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) and/or using a DA-611TO or DA-REPEATER (see
long range options page for more details)
• 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 DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna
• 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 using a DA-660 Reception Booster
Antenna.
• If installing a DA-066MP, make sure the address codes in the DA-066MP match those in the DA-078 Chimes

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 3/4-mile from the Sensor/Transmitter to the
Control Panel/Receiver. Simply unscrew the standard antenna on the DA-700 Control Panel or DA-100 Control Panel and 75ohm
coaxial cable, RG6, to the F Connectors on the Control Panel and the DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna.
* 34” Long, 13” Wide, 1” High and weighs approximately 1 pound
* Frequency = 433.92 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-700 or DA-500 Drive-Alert Control Panel/Receiver.
It will repeat the alert signal to other wireless Control Panel/Receivers (DA-100CP, DA-700CP,) up to an additonal
1000 feet away, or another 3/4-mile if DA-660s are used with them. If a site has multiple buildings and/or locations where an alert
is desired, add a DA-REPEATER to a DA-700 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 from 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 above ground for a week, before burying the Sensor, to assure conditions and
product operate satisfactorily.

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 - 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 no large metal objects, mirrors, appliances are between the Control Panel and Chimes
