introduction:

The DCR-2500 receiver can be used with any of the Dakota Alert 2500 series transmitters. The
DCR-2500 plugs in to a standard wall outlet and can be placed on a table or mounted on the wall.
When the receiver gets a signal from the transmitter one of 4 dierent tones (Classical, Westmin­ster Chime, Ding Dong, Whistle) will sound for a few seconds. There is also a volume control so
you can set the sound to the desired level. The receiver is also equipped with 4 form “C” relays (one
for each zone) and one 12 VDC output terminal that can activate when a signal is received. The
receiver can be user programmed so the 12VDC terminal and relays will activate for 1 second, 10
seconds, 60 seconds or 10 minutes. The tones will sound for several seconds.

operation:

1. Connect the end of the power supply to the receiver (Figure 1-1).

2. Plug the power supply into a wall outlet

3. Locate the o/on switch and move to the “on” position (Figure 1-2).

For maximum range between the transmitter and receiver, the receiver should be mounted hori­zontally on a wall and as high o the oor as possible. Although the maximum range is about ½
mile, things such as hills, trees, metal siding and stucco can all reduce the range.
