The MURS Alert transmitter is a passive infrared (PIR)
detector that can be used to detect people, vehicles or
large animals at selected locations. The PIR sensor will
detect movement of objects up to 80 feet in front of the
transmitter box. When a person, vehicle or large animal is
detected, the MURS Alert will transmit a signal.

When an target is detected by the MURS Alert, an alert
signal will be sent to the M538-HT or M538-BS MURS
radio. (See page 4 for more information about alerts)

Instructions:

When you open the MURS exterior case
(fi gure 1-1), you will see an antenna
(fi gure 1-2), a battery pack and the
PIR unit. Attach the antenna to the
antenna jack (fi gure 1-3), located on
the top of the case.

Power Supply:
The MURS Alert transmitter is powered
by 6 AA batteries. For best results, we rec­ommended that you use good quality
alkaline batteries. When replacing bat­teries, do not mix old and new batteries
together. The average life of the bat­teries is about 6 months under normal
conditions. Conditions affecting battery
life include use of the product in high
traffi c areas, and using product in a cold
climate. If you live in a cold climate, it
is recommended that you put in new
batteries at the beginning of winter.
