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 - Check to 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 there are no large metal objects, mirrors, appliances, etc. between the Control Panel
and the Chimes
