WIRELESS DA-600 DRIVE-ALERT

MODEL DA-600 CONTROL PANEL/RECEIVER GENERAL INFORMATION:

The Model DA-600 Drive-Alert is a direct 

wireless

 replacement for the original hard-cabled DA-500 model.  An internal piezo

electric whistle acts as the alert and is located inside the control panel.  The whistle may be switched off if desired, and when 
switched off, the relay contacts are converted to Form C dry contacts.   There is also an additional set of Form C dry contacts.  
With the whistle switch ON you have one set of Form C dry contacts available, and with the whistle switch OFF you have two 
sets.  These relay contacts may be supplied with 24 volts DC or used as Form C dry contacts.  The DA-600 control panel will op-
erate any of Mier’s Drive-Alert accessories listed on the “Accessories” pages of this manual. It can also be used to control other 
external bells, surveillance systems, signs, gates and relays.  An adjustable time control provides 2 to 12 seconds of alarm time 
for each vehicle detected. 

A DA-600 INCLUDES: ONE DA-600 CONTROL PANEL AND ONE DA-610TO SENSOR (pictured here).  See the Options and 
Accessories pages to customize this system for your particular application.

DA-600 CONTROL PANEL/RECEIVER INSTALLATION

:

The DA-600 receiver is to be mounted inside where 110 volts AC power is available 4-6 feet above ground level.  To maximize 

transmitter reception the flexible antenna is to be at least 12 inches from any metal pipes, power conduits, breaker boxes, etc.  

For extended ½ mile range reception, or for mounting below ground, use the DA-600 Long Range system (i.e. DA-600LR) which 
includes a factory installed accessory and a DA-660 Long Range Booster Antenna.  (See Options page for details)

A Red power lamp (see FIGURE 1 labeled LED 1) indicates that the power is on and that the internal 1 Amp Fuse is okay.  An 

Amber lamp (see FIGURE 5 labeled LED 2) indicates a low battery condition at the Sensor/Transmitter.  This lamp will stay on 
until the battery voltage in the transmitter is above 2.7 volts DC.  NOTE:  Before changing batteries, unplug the receiver and wait
at least one minute after replacing batteries before applying power.  This prevents unwanted alarms and resets the low battery 
detector.
