If occasional false alarms occur, or you are not detecting some vehicles, you can try re-locating the Sensor, or you can reduce the
Sensor Sensitivity
. There is a small blue sensitivity pot on the electrical board. Maximum sensitivity adjustment is clockwise and
minimum is counter-clockwise (note arrow direction). Reducing sensitivity would reduce detection of road traffic, but would also
reduce the detection sensitivity in the driveway. See photo below.
The
Transmitter Address Code Switches
must be set to match those inside the Control Panel/Receiver
. These switches are preset
at the factory for code 000 (no jumpers). They should only be changed if the Control Panel/Reciever code is also changed. An
example of when you would want to switch these codes is when two neighbors, living right next to each other, both have Drive-
Alerts: one neighbor should switch codes so both their Drive-Alerts remain exclusive to their own driveway.
The
Transmitter Zone Code Switches
are preset at the factory for code 000 (no jumpers) for just one Zone/driveway/area to
monitor. If more than one Zone is to be monitored, place jumpers on the Zone Pins on the electrical board in the black box to
active them, AND pull the jumper off of the JP3 Jumper Pin inside the white DA-700 or DA-100 Control Panel. The Drive-Alert
will give a different Chime tone for each Zone monitored.
This photo of the Transmitter board inside the black box shows where to place the batteries, turn it On, see the Valid Transmit light,
change the Detection Sensitivity (if needed), change Addressing (if needed), set for Zoning (if needed).
