Safeguard Supply ERA-DSTX User manual

Pair Transmitter to Receiver:
(Always test unit prior to installation)
The transmitter works with the ERA-DCRX & ERA-VPRX receivers & basic
programming calls for the user to pair the transmitters with a receiver &
select a melody for the transmitter to instruct the receiver to play when
triggered. For quick setup, however, each zone defaults to a basic "ding-dong"
sound allowing you to easily pair the transmitter for a faster set up process.
1. Remove the four screws on the back of the case using a Phillips head
screwdriver (figure 1).
2. Remove top half of case from lower case.
3. Install a 9V alkaline battery & place it in the holder (figure 2).
4. See section titled, "Pairing Transmitter to Receiver".
5. Note: When battery gets weak, it will cause paired zone to flash LED on
receiver for 10 minutes when triggered.
Battery Installation:
•The ERA-DSTX must be programmed to a ERA receiver to function.
Programming instructions, settings, & mounting instructions are
included in this manual. Consult that manual to change melody,
adjust volume, add accessories, etc.
•Consult the receiver's user manual for more details & specifications
for settings.
•The ERA-DSTX is powered by a 9V alkaline battery (not included).
•Up to 12 ERA-DSTX's may be programmed to a ERA receiver, There's
no limit to the number of receivers programmed to the ERA-DSTX.
•Each transmitter must be paired to a zone on the receiver.
•Each zone is programmed to the "ding-dong" sound from the factory.
Consult the receiver's manual to change the melody.
•When the transmitter battery is low, it sends a signal to the receiver
(when triggered) & the corresponding LED on the receiver will
continue to flash for 10 minutes.
•Package contents: PIR sensor/transmitter, plate mount, swivel mount,
screws (4) and this user guide.

1. On the ERA-DCRX receiver, hold down the "mode" (left button in
figure 2 below) button for approx 3 sec. until you hear a short tone
sound & the "zone 1" LED flashes (figure 3).
2. If you are programming the transmitter to zone 1waive your hand
over the sensor/transmitter, or press the test button (figure 4). You
will hear the receiver play a short tone (zone 1 will continue to flash).
3. To program a transmitter to a different zone, press the "zone" button
on the receiver to scroll to the appropriate zone . The zone you want
to program will flash. Repeat step 2 above.
4. Once you have programmed all the zones move to the next step.
5. To exit program mode, hold down the "mode" button for approx 3
sec. until you hear a short tone.

Introduction
The ERA-DSTX is an outdoor rated PIR sensor compatible with the ERA-
DCRX & ERA-VPRX Receiver. When the combination of heat & motion are
detected, the sensor will transmit a wireless radio signal up to 4,000 ft. to
the receiver .
Compatible Products:
•Power source: 9V alkaline battery
•Detection range: low, to 25 ft., medium, to 50 ft., high, to 100 ft.
•Wireless range: up to 4,000 ft.
(Figure 2)
(Figure 4)

Mounting the Transmitter:
Note: To get the maximum possible range, mount the transmitter/sensor on a
wooden or plastic object (if possible & free from obstacles). The range is up to
4,000 ft., but environmental factors may reduce this range.
•Location:
oTry to mount on a wooden post, fence or tree. Avoid mounting
on metal if possible.
oTry to mount in a location free of obstacles such as metal
siding, trees that may cause transmission interfence.
oThe product has a very long range, but these obstacles will
interfere in the effective range.
oTry to place unit 3-4 ft. off the ground & approximately 20 ft.
from either side of driveway or path you are monitoring.
oThe sensor will detect people & vehicles up to approximately
100 ft. away (on high setting), & sometimes even farther. For
this reason, avoid pointing the transmitter/sensor at roads in
the distance.
oMake sure unit is mounted so that it does not move during
wind or storms. This could generate false triggers.

with the setting you want to change (see images below).
•Range: Changes the distance that the motion detector will
detect motion (size of monitored zone).
•LED: Turn LED on/off (LED triggered when unit is transmitting radio signal).
•Filter: Changes the sensitivity level of the motion detector. Recommended
OFF for indoor use, ON for outdoor use).
•Reset: Changed minimum time between alarm activations.
•Select a Mounting Bracket:
