Warnings This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules, Operation of this device is subject to the following conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Installation: The WMT-3000 transmitter is used with the Dakota Alert WR-3000 receiver. The WMT-3000 transmitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) detector to detect people, vehicles or large animals at the monitored location.
PIR settings (figure 1) The jumpers settings are as follows: Range: High-80 feet Medium- 50 feet Low- 30 feet LED: ON- led will flash when it detects OFF- led is always dark Filter: On- set for outdoor use Off-set for indoor use Reset: 15 seconds to reset after activation 120 seconds to reset after activation Coding the transmitter: Note: The transmitters and receivers are preset at the factory. DO NOT change settings, unless changing the tune or experiencing false signals. 1.
2. Locate the dip switches in the WMT-3000 transmitter module (figure 2). 3. The first eight dip switches are for the frequency setting (256 combinations). Set switches 1-8 (3) to match the eight switches in the receiver. 4. Switches 9 and 10 (4) are for the zone/channel settings on the transmitter. The four zones are listed in the table below. Switch 10 Channel 12-volt DC output Tune On On 1 Yes Classical 4.
Mounting the transmitter: 1. Select a location to mount the transmitter, such as a post or tree. 2. For best results, the transmitter should be about three to four feet off the ground, and about twenty feet from the side of the drive. 3. The transmitter will detect people or vehicles to about eighty feet, but occasionally it may detect one hundred feet. For this reason, it is best to avoid pointing the transmitter at streets or roads in the distance. 4.
Coding the receiver: 1. Open the receiver case by inserting a small screwdriver into one of the pry notches on the side of the case. (refer to receiver manual) 2. Gently lift off the front cover. 3. Locate the eight dip switches on the receiver and make sure they are set identically to dip switches 1-8 on the transmitter. Note: If more than one transmitter is used with the receiver, the first eight dip switches of all transmitters must match the eight dip switches of the receiver.
Troubleshooting the WMT-3000 Although the WMT-3000 should be very reliable, there are occasions when you might have false alarms or a failure to alert. If you are getting false alarms, please try this: • Set filter jumper to “ON”. • Decrease range jumper. • Make sure that the transmitter is not pointing at a road in the distance. • The sun may be causing false signals; try to relocate the transmitter to a different position. • Make sure the transmitter is not detecting animals.
