CHANNEL SETTING

INSTALLATION

Position the AM-SX within 80 feet from the
Alertmaster AM-6000 or AM-7000 and its
receivers. For optimal room coverage, install
the AM-SX on a wall, on a shelf or table edge,
at a height not to exceed six feet. It will moni­tor an area approximately 15 feet in width, up
to a distance of 15 feet in front of the unit.

Do not place the unit directly facing a window
to avoid false triggering by some one walking
outside the window.

OPERATIONS

The AM-SX uses an infrared sensor to monitor the
area. When you turn on the AM-SX you have a
60 second set up period to leave the area. After
the one minute set up period, any motion in the
monitored area will trigger the sensor and a sig­nal will be sent 15 seconds later to activate the
AM-6000 or the AM-7000 system. The red indi­cator light will come on when a signal is being
sent to the AM-6000 or AM-7000. Upon returning
to the area being monitored, you will have 15
seconds to turn off the switch to avoid triggering
the unit. Caution: Small animals walking in the
monitored area may trigger activation.

Battery and Operation Tests

Install the

➡

9V alkaline
battery as shown.

Check the battery strength every six months, or
sooner, by moving in front of the unit to activate
the system. If the red indicator light doesn’t come
on after 60 seconds, replace with new battery.

CHANNEL SETTING

The Alertmaster System uses special radio sig­nals to communicate between the base unit and
all its accessories. For the Motion Sensor AM-SX
to activate the base unit, it has 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 by itself for no obvious rea­sons, it may be triggered by a system nearby in
your neighborhood.

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

1.Unplug AC cord and locate Dip
switch on the underside of the
AM-6000 console and the back of
the AM-7000.

2.Change the switch setting by sliding
all individual switches to a new
position as shown.

3.Slide open battery door of AM-SX,
locate dip switch, change switch
setting to exactly match new settings
on console.

4.Change the switch settings on each
of your other accessories (doorbell,
Remote Receiver, etc.) to match the
new switch settings in the console.
All settings must be identical for the
system to work.
