IMPORTANT SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
USE AND CARE
•Do not modify the alert system in any way. Unauthorized modification may impair the
function and/or safety and could affect the life of the equipment. There are specific applications
for which the alert system was designed.
•Always check of damaged or worn out parts before using the alert system. Broken parts
will affect the alert system operation. Replace or repair damaged or worn parts immediately.
•Store idle alert system. When alert system is not in use, store it in a secure place out of the
reach of children. Inspect it for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
NOTES BEFORE INSTALLATION
• B ef or e installation and op er a tion, you will require a dr ill, a cross-headed scr ew dr iv er , ; ( 3) AAA 1.5V
ba tt er ies , ; and (3) C 1.5V ba tt er ies . All of these are not supplied with this k it.
• Do not mount the transmitter on a metal frame .
• Do not mount the r ec eiv er above heat sources such as r adia t ors , or in damp areas such as a kitchen
or bathroom.
HOW IT WORKS
There are three parts to the Driveway Alert Alert system system.
T he T r ansmitt er contains a passive infrared (PIR) sensor , which detects the moving heat created b y an
aut omobile ’ s engine (or any other noticeably hot object moving at sufficient sp eed). I t can send a signal to
the r ec eiv er . T he transmitter should be deployed outdo ors , where it will have a clear view of the dr iv ew a y .
T he Receiver mounts inside your home (or business , w ar ehouse , shed , aircraft hangar , secret underground
submarine docking station-where you need it , r eally , provided it ’ s within range of the outdoor unit).
When the Chime/Low/Alert system switch is on Chime or L o w p osition: the receiver will give out chime sound
to let you know when the outdoor unit detects motion. A t the same time , the LED indic a t ors flash.
When the switch is on Alert system p osition: When motions are detected by the transmitt er , the r ec eiv er will
sound 5 times (B B B B B) and the LED indicators will flash 5 times . T hen, the receiver will give out alert system
sounds with LED indicators flashing .
LOCATION
To know exactly where you should place the transmitt er , and which way you should aim the PIR, it ’ s worth
thinking about how the PIR sensor works, the range and area it can c o v er , as well as what may mislead it
into generating a false r eading . T he PIR is , as its name suggests , a passive sensor (unlike a security camera
with IR LEDs for night vision, which is active infr ar ed ) . B asic ally , all objects emit some infrared radiation (we
commonly call it “ hea t ” ） and the sensor looks for any of this radiation which mo v es ..

OPERATION
T her e is one switch at the right side of the r ec eiv er . I t operates as f ollo w s: Chime/Low/Alert system: Move the
switch to Chime p osition, the receiver will sound with louder chime; move to L o w p osition, it will sound with lower
chime; in Alert system p osition, the receiver will sound with alert system.
INSTALLING & REPLACING BATTERIES
T r ansmitt er
T he transmitter requires 3×AAA 1.5V ba tt er ies . R emo v e the transmitter from its mounted p osition.
R emo v e the two screws on the rear of the Outdoor U nit , which secure the battery compartment cover in
plac e .
Safely and responsibly dispose of the old batteries (if applic able). Connect three
new AAA 1.5V ba tt er ies .
R eplac e the battery compartment c o v er , securing screws and re-mount the transmitt er . W hen replacing the
battery c o v er , ensure that it makes complete contact with the sponge seal lining the battery c ompar tmen t.
If moisture is able to enter the transmitt er , it will adversely aff ec t p er f or manc e dr ama tic ally .
Rec eiv er
T he receiver requires 3 x C 1.5V ba tt er ies . R emo v e the receiver from its mounted p osition. R emo v e the screw
on the rear of the unit. Safely and r esp onsibly , dispose of any old ba tt er ies . Insert three fresh C ba tt er ies .
D on ’ t mix old and new ba tt er ies .
CODE MATCHING
When the receiver has been installed with ba tt er ies , the LED Indicators of the receiver will flash f or
30 sec onds , which means it is under a code-matching status . User has to finish the code matching within

the 30 seconds for transmitt er , as per following instructions:
T r ansmitt er : Move your hand around the transmitt er ’ s PIR area until the LED indicator is on. A t the same time
the receiver will sound with three short beeps , indicating the transmitter has successfully matched the code with
the r ec eiv er .
T he receiver is equipped with maximum 5 c o des . If no code is matched within 30 seconds after battery
installation, the receiver will come into an energy-saving mo de . When there is a code matched after 30
sec onds , the receiver will be automatically out of code matching mo de .
Note that the receiver is only under a code matching status for the first 30 sec onds . I t w on ’ t give out any
chime or alert system sound even if there is signal c oming .
WALL MOUNT
To mount the devices on the w all, you will require a drill and cross-headed scr ew dr iv er . IMPORTANT: B ef or e
you drill any hole in the w all, please make sure there are not cables or pipes that you may accidentally
damage . Additionally you have to make sure the two mounting p ositions for the transmitter and the
receiver are within the operating range (you should test them to see if they work).
Transmitter Unit
Drill a hole on the wall at the desired height.
1
Insert a wall plug (included) into the hole .
T hen insert a screw (included) into the wall plug . Be noted that you should
not insert completely the screw into the wall plug , but keep a suitable
length out of the wall sur fac e , which is to hold the transmitt er .
Finally you can hang the transmitt er .
(Mounting on UPVC or metal doorframe surfaces will reduce the transmitting r ange .)
Receiver Unit
Drill two holes on the wall at your desired heigh t. T he distance between the two holes
should match the two hanging holes at the back of the
r ec eiv er ..
1
T hen insert two wall plugs (included) into the holes .
After tha t , insert two screws (included) into the wall plugs . Be noted that you
should not insert completely the screws into the wall plug , but keep a
suitable length out of the w all sur fac e , which is to hold the r ec eiv er .
Finally you can hang the r ec eiv er .
Avoid positioning on UPVC F r ames , above heat sources (e .g . radiator) or in damp areas such as a kitchen or
bathroom.
MAINTENANCE
•Maintain your alert system. It is recommended that the general condition of any alert system
be examined before it is used. Keep your alert system in good repair by adopting a program of
conscientious repair and maintenance. Have necessary repairs made by qualified service
personnel.
