i. INTRODUCTION

The alarm Monitor KA300 is developed to bridge the gap created by the existing
warning devices designed only for the hearing. It provides a totally reliable source for
the Deaf and Hard of Hearing to watch and to be alerted when there is a fire, smoke,
propane, gas leak alarm, tornado, hurricane, severe thunder storm alert, or when a
national attack warning activates its siren. You will be worry free to select any alarm
system designed without considering whether it supports the hearing impaired.

You will find its lifesaving features especially with multifamily, dormitory, or hotel’s
alarm system while you are asleep and the evacuating siren is activated. It also lets
you know what source triggered the alarm.

It is very easy to install the KA300TX sensor directly to the existing alarm system. It
could save you a great cost to equip the local Hearing Impaired compatible alarm
device. Most of existing alarm devices, if it is separated from source of the smoke,
will not alert you when there is a fire that happens somewhere in a multi-room build­ing or will not respond to the evacuating siren.

For a single-family household, KA300 gives you great flexibility to build your own
system with multiple transmitters and multiple receivers. It operates based upon code
protection. The wireless link will save you from wiring the system and help to install
the whole alarm monitor system within minutes.

For maximum safety, the KA300RX main receiver works with both AC and battery
backup. In AC adapter mode, KA300RX triggers the alarm with the 177,000mCd
strobe light, loud siren and ultra-light 1,000mCd LEDs. If the AC power failed, the
unit will go to battery backup mode. The ultra-light LED and the siren will be acti­vated. The strobe light will not work in battery backup mode.

KBS300RX is equipped with a strong bed shaker that will guaranty to wake the deep­est sleeper.

The technique of Time-Condition-Signal verifying, combined with a fine tuning
threshold, substantially reduces the possibility of a nuisance alarm. The operation
code can be changed easily to stop false alarms that are caused from a neighboring
Alarm Monitor system.

Since you are solely responsibility for your fire and hazards protection, test the sys­tem weekly and check battery backup regularly to maintain the efficiency operation.
A failed operating system will not protect you.

Please read this user manual carefully first to understand the operation of the system
before planning anything and keep it for future reference.

* Keep your sale receipt with this manual in case that you need warranty service.

ALARM MONITOR KA300 WORKS

KA300system is designed to monitor all existing acoustic alarm units in your living
area and transfer it to a visual and vibration alarm. It will quickly help you to
determine what source triggered the alarm and give you enough time to evacuate
from the building or to locate a shelter. The KA300 is not an alarm system but it is
the vital source for the Deaf and Hearing Impaired to rely upon in an emergency. In
most cases, the alarm was caused by Fire, Smoke, Carbon monoxide, hurricane,
tornado, earthquake, etc.

USING KA300 FOR A SINGLE FAMILY HOUSEHOLD

You must choose one operation
code for KA300 system used for
your house. Set all transmitters
KA300TX to that operation code.
All KA300TX used for a smoke
detector will be set to channel one.
The other will be set for channel
two and three. There will be no
limit for the number of transmit­ters used in the same channel
setting. However, the distance
from the TX to the RX will be
limited to around 100 feet. If you
have a KBS300RX bed shaker,
you need to program the operation
code for it when you program the
KA300RX. You can program the
bed shaker at a different time. It
will be more convenient to program the operation code for both receivers at the
same time.

Note: The toggle switch will be either in the ON or OFF position. We will call ON position 1 and the

OFF position 0. For example, if all 8 switches are in the ON position, we will write
1111 1111 for that setup code.
