Wireless Drive-Alert Troubleshooting Trees

Step 1 - Check to make sure the Power Light is on.  If not, replace the internal 1A fuse, or send to Mier Products for repair.

Step 2 - Make sure the Control Panel is mounted in an above ground area where its antenna can receive a good signal from 
 

the Sensor/Transmitter, and make sure the Sensor/Transmitter is in a position free where it can send a signal freely.  

 

Make sure there are no large metal objects, mirrors, aluminum siding, etc. between the Control Panel and the Sensor/

 

Transmitter.  There is a “continuous on” or “test” switch inside the transmitter to help you test signal strength.

Step 3 - Make sure all address codes inside the Control Panel match the address codes in the Sensor/Transmitter Enclosure.

Step 4 - If installing a DA-605P, make sure the address codes in the small DA-066 mounted on the side of the Control Panel 
 

match the address codes in the Chimes.

Step 5 - If installing a DA-605P, make sure no large metal objects, mirrors, appliances are between the Control Panel and Chimes

False Alarms

No Detection or

Intermittent Detection

Check the sensor/transmitter 

placement to make sure it is 

mounted securely, and not in a 

tree if a DA-610TO (this is ok if 

using a DA-611TO).

Check the sensor/transmitter to 

make sure it is not on the same 

address code as a system at a 

neighbor’s home.

Remove all accessory wires from 

the terminal block.
