2.SET UP CODE CONNECTORS AND ZONE CONNECTORS

1.CODE CONNECTORS

In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the sensor’s code must match with the receiver’s code. Code connectors 1 to 6 can be found by opening the battery cover of the sensor and the back cover of the receiver. Note: Before opening the battery cover, it is necessary to remove the transparent protective cover. Keep it for future use. User is required to set these code connectors randomly and the code settings on the sensor and receiver must be the same. Each position of the code connector can be set to “+”, “-” or “0” position. Refer to the diagram below to set the code connectors properly. If the connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that column is set on

“+ ”. If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that column is set on “ - ”. If the connector is removed completely, (not placed on any posts), it is set to “ 0 ”. (see diagram for examples of how to set a column to the three different positions).

3. POWER UP THE HOUSEHOLD ALERT®		RECEIVER AND
GARAGE DOOR MONITORTM SENSOR

After setting up all the connectors, both units are ready to be powered up.

Plug in the adapter to the receiver, the green LED will start flashing indicating the receiver unit is powered up but no sensor is detected. Push the detection rod to it’s fully retracted position. Remove the battery cover on the sensor and insert the 3V lithium battery to the sensor as shown in the diagram.

The LED on the sensor will flash 8 times to indicate the unit is properly powered and there is signal transmission to the receiver. The green LED on the receiver will stop flashing and stay on. Make sure to put the transparent protective cover back in place after setting up.

If the green LED on the receiver does not stop flashing, ensure the code setting on the sensor is identical to the receiver. Position the sensor vertically to allow the detection rod to drop. One of the LED on the receiver will flash and the buzzer will also beep. Please put the battery cover and transparent protective cover back in place.

You can install the sensor onto the garage door.

Note: The receiver may not be able to receive the signal from the sensor properly if they are too close to each other. Move the sensor further from the receiver to test again.

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could accidentally trigger your system, please change the code settings on the sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and receiver should still match after changing the code setting.

4. INSTALLATION

2. ZONE CONNECTORS

Each receiver can work with up to 4 different sensors (to represent 4 different zones on the receiver). There are 2 connectors that deter- mine the zone number 1, 2, 3, or 4. These 2 connectors can be found by opening the battery cover. Please follow the chart below to set the zone number. If the sensor is set to zone number 1, then the receiver zone 1 signal will correspond to this sensor.

WARNING	before installation to ensure power is not connected.

Step 1 – Select a spot on your garage door to mount the sensor

Before you install the sensor onto the garage door, make sure the garage door is closed. The sensor assembly should be mounted on one of the vertical supports of your garage door near the bottom.

When the door is closed, the detection rod should be retracted. When the door is open, the detection rod will be extended.
