1. Before installation and operation, you will require a drill, a cross-headed screwdriver,
3xAA 1.5V batteries for transmitter, 3xC 1.5V batteries for receiver.
Batteries are not supplied with this kit.
2. Avoid positioning the Transmitter on metal frames.
3. Avoid positioning the Receiver above heat sources such as radiators, or in areas of high heat or humidity.
NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION
Insert 3 x AAA Alkaline batteries into the compartment at rear of the Receiver.
Ensure polarity of batteries on installation.
When the batteries start to go flat, the LED indicator will flash each second to remind you to replace
the batteries.
INSTALLING THE BATTERIES
3xAAA 1.5V
Alkaline Battery
3 x C 1.5V
Alkaline Battery
Insert 3 x C Alkaline batteries into the compartment at rear of the Transmitter. Replace the battery
compartment cover, securing screws and re-mount the transmitter. When replacing the battery cover,
ensure that it makes complete contact with the sponge seal lining the battery compartment.
If moisture is able to enter the transmitter, it will adversely affect performance.

Note the Receiver is suitable for Indoor use only. The Transmitter is rated for sheltered exterior locations.
Before fixing the products, check the distance between your desired locations can communicate first.
The product is rated to operating up to a range of 120 metres in free air. The operating range will be
reduced if the signal is transmitted through a number of walls or ceilings.
NOTE: Common barriers to avoid include mounting to any metal surface or UPVC door frames.
Avoid positioning above heat sources such as radiators, or in damp areas such as a kitchen or bathroom.
Do not expose the internal unit directly to rain or immerse in water. Do not locate either unit close to
fireplace or expose to high temperatures.
Consider which way you should aim the PIR, taking into account the range and area it can cover,
as well as what may mislead it into false triggering. Aspects to consider include avoiding heat sources
close by like A/C units or vent outlets, neighbouring traffic or pedestrians, foliage in the line of detection,
or reflectance from pools or car headlights. All of these may cause false triggering at times.
Simx Entry Alert PIR are supplied as paired devices.
This product cannot be paired with multiple Receivers or Transmitters.
SELECTING YOUR MOUNTING LOCATIONS
1. The sensor can’t detect anything which is the same temperature as their backgrounds.
For example, a car which hasn’t been running long (and is, thus, the same temperature as its
surroundings) may go unnoticed. This should, however, be unlikely.
2. Any moving heat source can trigger the sensor. For example, a moving shadow on a sunny day
may trigger the sensor, or the sun coming out from behind clouds. False triggers should be rare,
but will occasionally occur.
3. Pedestrians, animals or any other large heat source can trigger the sensor, so avoid busy pathways
or sidewalks.
Therefore, try to aim the sensor towards an evenly lit and open view with a minimum of shifting
lighting or moving objects. Ideally, the sensor should only see your driveway, and the only moving
object(s) in front of the sensor should be the car (s) or person (s) you want to detect.
Reducing the angle of detection may be desirable. This can be achieved by applying opaque adhesive
tape to parts of the PIR lens to remove detection angles.
The PIR sensor is not infallible. In particular…

PAIRING THE DEVICES

• The Receiver can be hung on a wall with screws, or table top mounted.
• The Transmitter can be mounted with a screw to an appropriate surface. A metal surface will
adversely affect its ability to communicate with the Receiver. The Transmitter is rated for
sheltered outdoor locations only (light rain contact only).
The volume switch is located on the side of the Receiver.
Settings are High/ Low/ Off (mute)
SELECTING YOUR PERSONAL SETTINGS
OPERATION
On detection by the Sensor, the Transmitter sends a signal to the Receiver, which will chime ‘Dingdong’
four times. The LEDs on the Receiver will flash at the same time – convenient for loud ambient spaces,
and to aid people with hearing impairments. Once that sequence has finished, the sensor interval time
concludes, and begins to detect again.
AFFIXING THE PRODUCTS

If the Receiver does not sound, please check the following:
• Flat batteries in either the Transmitter or Receiver-change the battery.
• Wrong battery polarity in either the Transmitter or Receiver-reinsert the battery.
• Units are out of range-relocate the Receiver within the operation range.
• If leaving the chime unused for long periods, remove the battery from devices to prevent leakage.
• Dispose of old batteries in accordance with the relevant legislation.

There is a DC input jack on the top right hand side of the receiver. You can connect a power adapter
to this port, provided it matches the power requirements as specified.
Don’t use batteries and the DC input at the same time: there is a risk of battery
leakage or explosion. Remove any batteries before connecting the DC input!
The power requirements are: 6V, 200mA
• SIMX Ltd do not sell this component.
• Most good electronics stores have power adapters suitable for the Driveway Alert Alarm.
• Be sure to match the power requirements exactly. Using anything other than a 6V power adapter
will have undesirable (and potentially dangerous) results.
• Don’t cut, open or modify any electrical equipment, cables or housings.
• Use only an adapter suitably rated for the intended purpose.
