Safeguard Supply WDK-ERA-STROBE User manual

Pair Transmitter to Receiver:
(Always test unit prior to installation)
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.
1. Flip over the ERA-UTX & remove the gray
silicon grommets (one per corner). The screws
are under the grommets.
2. Remove the four screws on the back of the
case and open to find the battery compartment.
(Figure 1)
3. Remove top half of case from lower case.
4. Install the included CR-2 battery in the holder
(Figure 1).
5. Re-tighted screws & insert grommets.
6. Note: When battery gets weak, it will cause
paired zone to flash LED on receiver for 10
minutes when triggered.
LED Indicator Light in Button:
The default setting is for the LED indicator to light up for two seconds
when the ERA-UTX is activated.
(Figure 1)
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

Introduction
The ERA-UTX is a Universal Transmitter compatible with the ERA-DCRX
Receiver and is included in the kit. The ERA-UTX has several methods
of activation. First, it has a push button that can be used as a panic
button or doorbell button. The ERA-UTX also has terminals for a normally
open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C) input. These inputs can be used
with any detector contacts. There is also a magnetic contact that can
be used for doors or windows. When the transmitter is activated, it will
send a signal to the receiver which will sound one of 12 different tones for
a few seconds, and trigger the connected strobe light to flash.
•Each receiver is capable of pairing with four (4) transmitters per zone.
•Each zone features 1 x 12V DC output.
•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.
User may change this melody.
•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 receiver will double-play the melody..
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.
•No LED lights (no zone LED or power indicator) means the unit is
off. Pushing volume again turns it back on to max volume.
(Figure 2)
1. On the ERA-DCRX receiver, hold down the "mode" (left button in
figure 2 below) button until you hear a short tone sound & the "zone
1" LED flashes.
2. If you are programming the transmitter to zone 1, press the gray
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)
•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
sound is muted.
Helpful Notes
What;'s in the Kit:
•ERA-UTX transmitter with mounting bracket & hardware
•ERA-DCRX
•Strobe light
•Wire (if needed)

Using the Magnetic Contact:
The magnetic contact can be used on most doors/windows
with a gap of less than ½ inch.
•Mount the push button on the door jam with the screws
provided.
•Mount the magnet on the door (within ½” of the push
button) with the screws provided.
•After mounting the magnet on the door snap the cover
on the magnet case.
•The magnetic contact can be used on either side of the
push button. (Figure 3)
•Position the bracket were you would
like it and place two screws in the holes
provided. To place the ERA-UTX back
simply slide it over the bracket.
•If mounting the ERA-UTX outdoors it
is recommended to place the
silicone plugs in the screw holes at
the back of the case to prevent
moisture from entering the case.
MOUNTING
(Figure 3)
Using the Relay on the ERA-UTX: The ERA-UTX can be
activated by any type of detector which provides a normally open
(N/O) or normally closed (N/C) output.
1. Locate the terminals at the bottom of the
case. (Figure 5)
2. Insert the wires through the silicone
gasket and make the connection on the
terminals.
3. For a normally closed (N/C) connection,
connect the wires to· the NC and Common
(center) terminals.
4. For a normally open (N/O) connection,
connect the wires between the NO and
Common (center) terminals. (Figure 5)
t e r m i n a l s
Mounting the Transmitter:
•The transmitter can be mounted to any wall using the mounting
bracket. (Figure 4)
•The mounting bracket is located on the back of the ERA-UTX and
can be removed by simply sliding it off.
(Figure 4)
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.
Erasing Programming (memory):
•If multiple normally closed (N/C) contacts are to be used, they should
be run in series to the N/C contacts.
•If multiple normally open (N/O) contacts are used, they should be run
in parallel to the N/O contacts.
•Note: Both N/O and N/C contacts can be used simultaneously along
with the magnetic contact and push button.
Using Multiple Devices on the ERA-UTX Relay:
BRACKET
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 7 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 7). The
duration setting applies to all zones.
•The C-Form Relay, labeled "Relay" (Figure 6), 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 6).
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.
