Pair Transmitter to Receiver:

(Always test unit prior to installation)

Th

transmitter works with the ERA-DCRX receiver & basic programming 

calls for the user to pair the transmitters with a receiver

 & 

select a 

melody for th

e

 transmitter to instruct the receiver to play when 

triggered.  

For quick setup, however, each zone defaults to a basic "ding-dong" sound allowing 

you to easily pair the transmitter for a faster set up process.  

1. Flip over the ERA-UTX & remove the gray 

silicon grommets (one per corner).  The screws 

are under the grommets.
2.

Remove the four screws on the back

 

of the 

case and open to find the battery

 

compartment.

3.

Remove top half of case from lower case.

4.

Install the 

included 

CR-2 battery in the holder

(Figure 1)

.

5. Re-tighted screws & insert grommets.

6.

Note: 

When battery gets weak, it will cause 

paired zone to flash LED on receiver for 10 

minutes when triggered

.

LED Indicator Light in Button:

The default setting is for the LED indicator to light up for two

 

seconds 

when the 

ERA-UTX

 is activated.

Introduction

The WDK-ERA-STROBE is a doorbells kit by Safeguard Supply that comes 
with a ERA-UTX transmitter, the ERA-DCRX receiver, a selected 12CV DC 
output accessory, and a bundle of 20AWG wire.  

The 

ERA-UTX

 

is a 

Universal T

ransmitter

 

compatible with the 

ERA-DCRX

 R

eceiver. 

 These 

may be purchased separately & also sold as a kit, 

as 

the ERA-UTDCR.  

The 

ERA-UTX

 has several methods of activation. First, it has a push 

button that can be used as a panic button or doorbell

 button

. The 

ERA-

UTX

 also has terminals for a normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/C)

 

input. These inputs can be used with any detector contacts.  There

 

is 

also a magnetic contact that can be used for doors or windows.

 

When 

the transmitter is activated, it will send a signal to the receiver which will 
sound one of 

12

 different tones

 

for a few seconds, or 

the 12V DC outputs 

and/or 

activat

e the 

relay output.

Each receiver is capable of pa

i

ring with four (4) transmitters per zone.

Each zone features 1 x 12V DC output

.

Output duration for the 12V DC output  may be set to 5 sec, 10 sec, 1 

min, & 2 min. The receiver features 1 x C-Form relay assignable to one 

or multiple zones & will take on the duration of the 12V DC output.

Volume control: 4 levels plus mute, plus off.

Each transmitter must be paired to a zone on the receiver.

Each zone is programmed to the "ding-dong" sound from the factory. 

User may change this melody.

When transmitter battery is low, it sends a signal to the receiver when 

triggered & the corresponding LED on the receiver will continue to 

flash for 10 minutes.

Volume, Mute, Off:

The volume button on the side of the receiver controls the four different volume 

levels, mutes & turns off the receiver.  Pushing the volume button controls these 

functions.

No LED lights (no zone LED or power indicator) means the unit is 

off. Pushing volume again turns it back on to max volume.

1.

On the ERA-DCRX receiver, hold down the "mode" 

(left button in 

figure 2 below) 

button until you hear a short tone sound & the "zone 

1" LED flashes.

2.

If you are programming the transmitter to zone 1

p

h

ear the receiver play a short 

musical note (zone 1 will continue to flash).

 

3.

To program a transmitter to a different zone, press the "zone" button 

on

 the receiver to scroll to the appropriate zone .  The zone you want 

to program will flash.  Repeat step 2 above.

 

4.

Once you have programmed all the zones move to the next step.

5.

To exit program mode, hold down the "mode" button until you hear 
a short tone sound (approx 3 sec)

When all four zone LED lights are red, this indicates maximum 

volume

.

Three  zone LED lights indicate the third volume level

.

Two zone LED lights indicate the second volume level

.

One zone LED light indicates the minimum volume level

.

No zone LED lights & a red power indicator light means the

sound is muted.
