Channel Setting

of the doorbell.

The Alertmaster System uses special radio signals to communicate between the console unit and all its accessories. For the accessories (Door Announcer, Baby Sound Monitor, Audio Alarm Transmitter and Motion Sensor) to activate the base unit, they all have to be on the same "channel." A "DIP Switch" is used for channel selection.

Your system and all the accessories have been preset in the factory to a standard channel setting. Under normal operating conditions, there is no adjustment necessary.

If your system encounters interference and repeatedly activates itself for no obvious reason, it may be

triggered by a system nearby in your neighborhood.

If the interference from another Alertmaster Notification System or other wireless source is present, change channel switch settings on all components.

1.Unplug AC power and locate DIP Switch (a 4-position switch)

on the underside of the Alertmaster AM-6000.

2.Open the battery compartment

3.Change the switch position of each switch on both units using a ball point pen. All settings need to be identical for the system to work. See Figure 5.

4.Change the switch settings on each of your other accessories (Remote Receiver, Audio Alarm Transmitter, Baby Sound Monitor, etc.) to match the new channel setting.

5.Replace all covers and return accessories to their proper

places. Press LAMP CONTROL /

RESET button once to reset the unit.

Use a pen or pencil to set DIP Switches to match exactly

The REN is a customer guide indicating approximately the maximum number of items of apparatus that should be connected simultaneously to the line.

To determine the maximum number of items of apparatus that should be connected simultaneously to an

exclusive line, the total REN obtained by summing the REN values of each of the items of apparatus connected to the exclusive line should not exceed the maximum REN value of 4. This value includes any BT

provided instrument each of which is assumed to have a REN value of 1.0 unless otherwise marked.

The apparatus has a REN of 1 and care must be taken not to use it with other telephone equipment that would result in a maximum figure of 4 REN being exceeded.

Because of the wide spread of ringing detector characteristics, a guarantee of successful operation in an installation of mixed types of
