The Model DA-610TO (or optional DA-611TO) Sensor/Transmitter contains the sensing and transmitting electronics and is to be
placed in the area of detectable moving vehicles. The detection threshold is set by a sensitivity control (See FIGURE 6: lower
Right Hand quadrant) on the transmitter circuit board. Maximum sensitivity adjustment is Clockwise and minimum is Counter-
Clockwise. In most cases the factory sensitivity and address code setting will function for the installation. If a unique address
code is needed (e.g. interference from a neighboring Mier wireless system) open the top cover revealing the transmitter circuit
board. Look for the blue and white rocker switches labeled ADDRESS in the lower middle of the circuit board.
FIGURE 6
The address code switches are factory preset to OFF, in other words all 0’s (e.g. 0 = OFF then 1 = ON). To set 1001, switch
1= ON, switch 2 = OFF, switch 3 = OFF, switch 4 = ON, and etc. The corresponding Receiver address MUST match this
Sensor/Transmitter address for reception from this Sensor/Transmitter.
The Sensor/Transmitter operates on 2 - AA batteries providing 3.0 volts DC to the electronics. When battery voltage reaches 2.7
volts a signal is transmitted and the LO BATT LED is lit in the Receiver. The transmitter continues to operate for a time but new
batteries will be needed for uninterrupted operation. Typical battery life is 1 year in a residential installation with Alkaline
batteries. To install batteries, unlock and open the cabinet door, turn off the Power switch, remove and install batteries, observing
the correct polarity. Turn on the Power switch, close and lock the cabinet door. When working on the transmitter, it is advised to
unplug the Receiver to prevent false alarms. An LED marked XMSN near the center indicates the transmitter is currently
transmitting. A jumper marked as TX_TEST near the top puts the Sensor/Transmitter into a “continuous transmit” mode when the
jumper is in the TEST position. Both of these are meant to be used during setup and troubleshooting.
*NOTE: The optional DA-611TO (Options Page) is used in cases where it is impossible to securely place the DA-610TO near the
drive or area that needs monitoring, but it still provides the same sensing & wireless performance.
