Operation
The state-of-the-art, Doorbell & Telephone Signaler will alert
you when someone comes to visit. The DB200 is the only
doorbell and intercom signaler that requires no wires and can
be installed in seconds. DB200 will alert you that someone is
at your door by flashing a light plugged into it and any Sonic
Alert receiver anywhere in your home.
The DB200 is designed to work in homes with or without an
existing doorbell or chime and most existing buzzer and
intercom systems.
Other features include selectable number of flashes (5 or 10),
different flash code for front door, rear door, or intercom.
Additional sensors (DB100T, sold separately) are required for
2nd door or intercom. There is also a built-in chime for hearing
members of the family (can be turned off by using the switch
on the right side of the DB200). The DB200 receives an RF
radio signal from the DB sensor, and flashes the light plugged
into the built-in outlet of the DB200. Use a 300-watt or less
incandescent lamp only. The DB200 can send a signal to all
Sonic Alert remote receivers. Note: Must be used only with
Sonic Alert receivers for proper operation, other
manufacturers products are not reliable with our products.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with
RSS-210 of Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including

DB200 Signaler DB Sensor
INSTALLATION
To install the DB200, follow the diagrams and instructions on the
following page that match the type of installation you need for
your home. If the installation follows diagrams 1-4, a 9-volt
alkaline battery is required in the DB sensor.
Please check the switches on your DB Sensor before installing.
Do not change switches 1-6. These are pre set.
Setting The Dip Switches:
DB Sensor settings (smaller unit) dip switches 1 thru 6 are set at
the factory and only need to be changed if your neighbor has a
DB200 or DB100. The 8 dip switches should be set as follows:
a) 1 thru 3 dip switches are set in the ON position and 4 thru 6
are set in the OFF position. If you need to change the dip switch
settings to avoid interference with your neighbors make sure you
change both the DB200 Signaler to match the DB Sensor.
b) The 7th switch is for use when using 2 sensors; this switch
determines the settings for front or back door. If using for one
door only set this switch in the ON position. At this setting your
unit will flash at a fast rate and will make a ding/dong sound. If
using 2 sensors one for the front door and one for the back door
the setting for the 2nd sensor would be in the OFF position. In this
position the front door will flashat a different flash rate than the
back door. In the OFF position your back door sensor will flash
at a slow rate with a dong/dong sound.
c) The 8th switch determines the number of flashes when
someone is at your door. In the ON position your unit will flash 5
times and in the OFF position your unit will flash 10 times. This
feature is wonderful when you have an extra sensor for the back
door. One sensor would be set in the ON position and the other
would be set in the OFF position
