• Check to make sure the Power Light is on. If not, call Mier to check the 1 Amp fuse.
• To test the low battery function it is neccessary to install batteries that equal 2.5 volts or lower into the black outdoor Sensor/
Transmitter box to activate the word data bit to be detected by the white indoor Control Panel
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver within 10 feet of a wireless modem, cell phone, or cordless phone
• DO NOT put the Control Panel/Receiver in a basement unless using a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver outdoors
• DO NOT mount the Control Panel/Receiver within 12 inches of Aluminum or Steel electrical enclosures
• Make sure the Control Panel is mounted above-ground where its antenna can receive a signal from the Sensor/Transmitter, and
make sure the Sensor/Transmitter is in a position with clear line of sight where it can send a signal freely. Make sure there are
no trees, large metal objects, mirrors, aluminum siding, etc. between the Control Panel and the Sensor/Transmitter, as they will
cause interference. In these cases, use a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna mounted in an area where it receives a direct
signal.
• Mount the Sensor parallel to the driveway whenever possible
• DO NOT mount the Sensor more than 3 feet from the edge of the driveway or area to be monitored
• DO NOT mount the Sensor more than 4 feet above ground: this is above the non-ferrous belt-line
• Mount the Sensor securely: IT MUST BE STABLE AND MOTIONLESS! Any movement of the sensor will cause an alarm. Don’t
mount the Sensor on a tree, post or gate that might move in the wind.
• DO NOT mount the Sensor where it might be near underground or above ground power lines. Power surges in the sensor area
will cause false alarms.
• DO NOT bury the Transmitter Box in the ground.
• DO NOT install the Transmitter Box in an Aluminum, Copper or Steel enclosure which will result in shielding
• Make sure address codes inside the Control Panel match the address codes in the Sensor/Transmitter Box
• If you must mount the Control Panel/Receiver inside a Stucco wall, or aluminum sided wall, or in a basement use a DA-660
Reception Booster Antenna which can be mounted outside the wall
• For long-range applications, consider a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna which can be mounted in an attic for additional
range (note: metal roofs will interfere with the signal, but wood/shingle is fine) and/or using a DA-611TO or DA-REPEATER (see
long range options page for more details)
• If there are hills in the terrain between the Transmitter Box and Control Panel/Receiver, you may need to use a DA-611TO or
DA-612TO Sensor/Transmitter and/or a DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna
• E-Glass windows in the path of the line-of-sight between the Transmitter and Control Panel/Receiver will cause interference.
In these installations, move the Control Panel/Receiver away from the window, or consider using a DA-660 Reception Booster
Antenna.
• If installing a DA-066MP, make sure the address codes in the DA-066MP match those in the DA-078 Chimes
