The Sensor/Transmitter included in
the SoundAlert kit comes prepro-
grammed from the factory and will
activate any Base unit within range.
If you decide to isolate a Sensor/
Transmitter to one receiver only or
change the Code, follow these
steps:
1.
Remove the front cover of the
Sensor/Transmitter by pressing
down on the release tab at the top
of the unit.
2.
To change the code, set the 8-key
dipswitch to any setting different from
your other Sensor/Transmitter settings.
3.
The new code setting must be
programmed into the Base Station
(see page 11 for detailed information).
4.
If activating the same message is
desired for any number of additional
Sensor/Transmitters, set the dipswitch
of each Sensor/Transmitter to the
SAME code positions.Programming
of the SoundAlert Base Station is not
necessary for these additional
Sensor/Transmitters, if the original
codes have already been
programmed.

Sensor/Transmitters to
Activate Additional
Messages
The Sensor/Transmitters included in the
SoundAlert kits are pre-programmed from
the factory and will function without modi-
fication.If you decide to change the code
or add more Sensor/ Transmitters, follow
these steps:
1.
Connect the SoundAlert Base Station
to a power source and turn the unit “ON”
with the “POWER” switch.
2.
The Base station has a 3 position slide
switch. Move the switch to the
“PROGRAM” position
3.
Set the 8 dipswitches in any setting
DIFFERENT from your other
Sensor/Transmitter settings.
4.
Activate the Sensor/Transmitter
by moving your hand in front of the
lens and observing the LED flashing
on the front. (The Base Station
“SET UP” LED will glow, indicating
that the transmission has been
received).
5.
While the “SET UP” LED is glowing,
press the button for the message that
you want activated by that Sensor/
Transmitter, #1-#6. The “SET UP”
LED light will stop glowing, indicating
that the Sensor/Transmitter is now
programmed to activate the selected
voice message.
6.
Return the slide switch to the
“RUN” position.
7.
Repeat steps 2 through 4 to program
additional Sensor/Transmitters to
each voice message.
Note: Any number of
Sensor/Transmitters can be set to
activate the same message by
setting it to the same dipswitch code.

How to set-up the X-10,
Leviton, or Lutron RadioRa
Interface
You can control lights or other
devices with your SoundAlert by
using a module provided by others
(X-10, Leviton and Lutron RadioRa).
There are four C relay outputs on the
bottom of the Base Station.
When a Sensor/Transmitter is trig-
gered, you have the option of also
triggering a module (such as the
X-10 Powerflash) attached to one of
these dry contact relay outputs.
The four relayl outputs (labeled
NO.1 thru NO.4) correlate to Zones
#1 thru #4.
Each contact has three outputs.
The one on the left is NO (normally
open), the middle is a common
ground, and the one on the right is
NC (normally closed).
Contacts are rated to carry 24 VDC
or 117 VAC at 1 AMP.
If you want to trigger a desk lamp,
for example (in addition to playing
the voice message) when the
Sensor for Zone #1 detects move-
ment, you must insert wire (not
supplied) from the module into one
of the Base Station output terminals
as shown below.
Then plug the lamp into the module.
One of the wires is placed in the
"middle" or common output of
NO.1 on the bottom of the Base
Station. The other wire goes into the
NO (open) or NC (closed) output
directly to the left or right depending
on the operation you require.
If you plug the other wire into the
NC (normally closed) contact, a
triggering of the sensor forces the
circuit open, breaking the circuit. In
the desk lamp example, this turns
the module and the lamp off.
If you plug the other wire into the
NO (normally open) contact, a trig-
gering of the sensor forces the
contacts together, initiating a circuit.
In the desk lamp example, this
turns the module and the lamp on.
