Safeguard Supply ERA-PBDCR-STROBE User manual

Pair Transmitter to Receiver:
(Always test unit prior to mounting)
The transmitter works with the ERA-DCRX receiver & 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.

Battery Installation:
Changing the Zone Melody:
By default, each zone is programmed by the factory to play the ding-dong
sound
1. Hold down the "zone" button until you hear a short tone & all LEDs on
front panel of receiver are red (approx 3 seconds). The zone you are
programming will flash.
2. Press the "volume" button to scroll through the 12 available melodies
for selection. Once you find a melody you like, move to step 3.
3. Press the "zone" button to scroll to the next zone & repeat step 2 to
program a melody to other zones.
4. Once you have programmed a melody to all necessary zones, move to
step 5.
5. Hold down the "zone" button until you hear a short tone sound (approx
3 seconds) notifying the receiver is out of melody programming mode.

Owner’s Manual
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 unde-
sired operation.
Helpful Notes:
•Each receiver is capable of pairing with three (3) transmitters per
zone.
•Each zone features 1 x 12V DC output. The zone output will be used
to power the strobe included in th kit.
•Output duration for the 12V DC output may be set to 5 sec, 10 sec, 1
min, & 2 min. The receiver features 1 x C-Form relay assignable to one
or multiple zones & will take on the duration of the 12V DC output.
•Volume control: 4 levels plus mute, plus off.
•Each transmitter must be paired to a zone on the receiver.
•Each zone is programmed to the "ding-dong" sound from the factory.
•When 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.
•The ERA-PBTX is a push button transmitter that must be
programmed to a ERA compatible receiver to operated.
•Push button measures 3.00'' H x 2.25'' W x 1.75'' D.
•When triggered (center push button is pressed) the center halo
illuminates brightly for approximately 2 seconds.
•The push button is outdoor rated and contains a silicone gasket to
keep moisture out. Mount with the small weep hole pointing down
to ensure any moisture in the unit evaporates out.
1. On the ERA-DCRX receiver, hold down the "mode" (left button in figure 3
below) button until you hear a short tone sound & the "zone 1" LED flashes
(approx 3 sec).
2. If you are programming the transmitter to zone 1 press the button on your
transmitter. You will hear the receiver play a short musical note (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 until you hear a short
tone sound (approx 3 sec)
1. Open the front cover by inserting the included screwdriver into the
square hole on the bottom of the unit (figure 1) & gently push & then
separate the top & bottom halves of the case.
2. Remove top part of case from lower part of case (figure 2).
3. Install the included CR2450A battery into the holder with positive (+) side
of the battery facing up (figure 2).
4. Test the battery by pressing the center push. The green halo should
illuminate for approximately 2 seconds, signaling transmission. Note:
Program the push button to a compatible receiver PRIOR to mounting the
push button.
Volume, Mute, Off:
The volume button on the side of the receiver controls the four different volume
levels, mutes & turns off the receiver. Pushing the volume button controls these
functions.
•When all four zone LED lights are red, this indicates maximum volume.
•Three zone LED lights indicate the third volume level.
•Two zone LED lights indicate the second volume level.
•One zone LED light indicates the minimum volume level.
•No zone LED lights & a red power indicator light means the

1. Hold down "mode" button until you hear a short tone & the zone 1 LED
flashes.
2. Hold down the "mode" & "volume" button simultaneously until all LEDs
stop flashing & you hear a short melody sound
(approximately 5 seconds).
3. All LEDs will stop flashing & only the green LED power indicator will
display. The memory is now erased.

Mounting the Push Button:
Ensure you have programmed & tested the push button prior to mounting.
There are two mounting options for the ERA-PBTX. The first method is to
mount the unit using the supplied screws. The second is using the
supplied double-sided tape.
1. Open the front cover by inserting the included screwdriver into the
square hole on the bottom of the unit (figure 1 above) & gently push in
to separate the top & bottom half of the case.
2. Remove top half of case from lower half of case.
3. Place back cover of push button on wall where you want to mount it.
The back cover may be mounted using the supplied screws or double
sided mountin gtape.
4. Ensure the arrow inside the back cover is pointing up.
5. Mount back half of case on wall.
6. Place top half (with battery installed) over bottom half. Make sure the
small opening (see figure 1 above)on top half is pointing down. Place
bottom of the top half over the small protruding clip on bottom half &
snap into place.
Low Battery Indicator
When the battery in the ERA-PBTX is low & needs to be replaced, it will
signal the receiver to double play the programmed melody on the
receiver when triggered.
For example, if you have programmed the "ding-dong" sound for the
push button to play on the receiver, when the battery on the push
button is low, the receiver will play "ding-dong...ding-dong" when
triggered, notifying you to change the battery in the push button.
The ERA-DCRX receiver features a live 12V DC output for each of the
four zones of the receiver. In this kit, the Strobe Light will be connected
to a zone of the ERA-DCRX receiver. To access the live 12V DC outputs
and C-Form relay, separate the top half of the receiver case from the
lower half. The outputs and relay are located on the PC board and are
shown below. (Figure 4)
Connecting a 12V DC Strobe to the ERA-DCRX Receiver
•Pair the transmitter to the receiver per the instructions for that transmitter.
•Each zone features 1 x 12V DC output that is activated when that zone is
triggered. The positive (+) & negative (-) screws for each output are shown
in figure 4 below.
•The output duration for the 12V DC output may be set to 5 sec, 10 sec, 1
min, & 2 min by adjusting dip switches (Figure 5). The duration setting
applies to all zones.
•The C-Form Relay, labeled "Relay" (Figure 4), may be associated with a
specific zone or multiple zones & will take on the duration of the 12V DC
output.
•12V DC output current: 400mA maximum.
•The form “C” relay is rated for 24 VDC at 3 Amp maximum current.
•Form "C" relays DOES NOT supply power to external device.
1. Unplug the receiver & separate the top half from the lower half of the case.
2. Located the positive (+) and negative (-) wires on the strobe. The Red is the
positive wire & the negative wire is black/red stripped.
3. Locate the external 12V DC terminal connection block that corresponds to
the respective zone on the ERA receiver. (Figure 4).
4. Loosen the positive (+) and negative (-) screws for the zone on the receiver
one you are connecting the strobe light to. For example, if a push button is
paired to zone 1, and you want the siren to sound for zone 1, wire the siren
into the terminal block for zone 1.
5. Insert the positive wire on the strobe to the positive screw on the zone
terminal block and negative wire on the strobe to the negative screw on
the zone terminal block.
6. Re-tighten screws on the terminal blocks of the ERA-DCRX receiver.
7. Plug in the receiver.
8. To ensure the transmitter triggers the receiver and the accessory is
triggered by the 12V output on the ERA-DCRX.
9. Ensure the volume is turned on the receiver, the battery is installed in
the transmitter, and the transmitter is programmed to the receiver.
10. Snap the cover back on the ERA-DCRX.
