The MINI-ALERT is a compact, portable, or wall mounted self
contained alert system which sounds a loud signal when a person
crosses in front of the unit.
The system operates by sensing the infrared energy that is
emitted by the human body when crossing the sensing fingers
within its field of view.

The MINI-ALERT is designed to operate as a portable,
free-standing or wall mounted self-contained unit.
•
Position the unit vertically so that the lens faces the area under
surveillance.
•
The field of view is approximately 90
°
, located 45
°
on either
side of the front of the unit, approximately parallel to the floor,
at the height of the unit (see Figure 1). The maximum range is
6 m (20 ft).
Figure 1. Positioning the MINI-ALERT
•
Position the MINI-ALERT so that an approaching person will
have to cross the sensing fingers of its field of view as in
Figure 1. The unit is not sensitive to motion directly towards or
away from the unit, because this kind of motion does not cross
the sensing fingers within its field of view.
Important - The MINI-ALERT operates by sensing the
difference in temperature between the person moving across
its field of view and the background (at which the unit is
aimed). If the background temperature is 30
°
C to 45
°
C (86
°
F
to 113
°
F), the MINI-ALERT may fail to detect, because the
temperature difference is too small. Therefore, you must not
aim the unit toward warm objects, such as walls that are
heated by sunlight, ovens, heaters, etc.
It is recommended that the MINI-ALERT be installed only in
temperature controlled areas and aimed toward the coolest
part of the room.
•
Make sure that the MINI-ALERT will not be blocked by any
objects such as doors, packages, drapes, glass partitions,
windows, etc.
•
The unit should be positioned at a height of 2.5 to 4 ft (80 to
125 cm) from the floor.
Note: It may be necessary to position the unit lower, if detection
of a small child or a pet is desired.

If desired, the MINI-ALERT
may be installed on a wall
with 2 screws (supplied).
See Figures 2 and 3.
•
Remove the battery cover
from the front of the unit
by placing your thumbs
as shown in Figure 2 and
exerting a slight pressure
downward and toward the
bottom of the unit.
Figure 2. Battery Cover Removal
•
Install one of the supplied
screws on the wall, in the
location where the top of
the MINI-ALERT is to be
positioned.
•
Mount the key-slot (on
the case rear) over the
head of the screw (Fig.
3). Adjust the screw so
that the unit is held as
close as possible to the
wall, to avoid vibrations.
Figure 3. MINI-ALERT Wall
Installation
•
Mark the location of the lower screw hole.
•
Remove the MINI-ALERT from the wall.
•
Drill the lower screw hole.
•
Remount the MINI-ALERT key slot onto the upper screw and
secure the unit to the wall with the lower screw. Assure that
the unit is held firmly to the wall and cannot vibrate.
Caution: This product is only for indoor use. Do not install
outdoors.
