How SoundAlert Works
SoundAlert is the Talking Wireless Detection System that tells you where and when someone’s been detected.
The Sensor/Transmitters can be located indoors or outdoors and when movement is detected, they send a signal to the Base Station.
The SA12 system consists of a Base Station, plus 2 Sensor/ Transmitters and the SA24 System has 2 Base Stations and 4 Sensor /Transmitters. Additional Base Stations and Sensor/ Transmitters can be purchased separately.
The Sensor/Transmitters are battery operated and they transmit radio signals to the Base station. The Base Station has six pre­recorded messages, or you can easily record your own messages. The Base Station also has 4 “C” relay dry contact outputs to activate other devices, such as X10, Leviton, or Lutron controls.

Changing the Sensor’s Message
Low Battery Reminder
When any of the Sensor/Transmitters experience a low battery condition, the “LOWBATTERY” LED will flash on the top of the Base Station.It will also sound a pre-recorded Low Battery Message. By pressing the “PLAYBACK” button, your “Low Battery Message” will play, as well as the recorded message identifying the Sensor/Transmitter that needs battery replacement.
Missed message LED Indicator
The missed message LED indicator light will blink after detection is made.This is useful if you’ve been away from home.It alerts you that activity has been detected in a specific location.
Playback Button & Message (“MSG”) LED
When a message is triggered by one or more Sensor/Transmitters, the “PWR MSG” LED will flash, notifying you that a trigger has occurred. By pressing the “PLAYBACK”button, each message that was triggered will play. The system will then clear the trig­gered messages and the “PWR MSG” LED will stop flashing. This is helpful in the event that you miss hearing the message because you weren’t near the base station or you were away from home when it was activated.

Sensor/Transmitter Battery Saving Option
To extend the life of your battery, you may disable the red LED that glows through the front of the Sensor/ Transmitter. Move the W1 switch (A) (see Diagram 1) to the “OFF” position.
Activating Switch Contacts
You can use your SoundAlert Sensor/ Transmitter to activate switch contacts that will transmit to the Base Station. This would be used, for example, if you want a doorbell to activate one of your recorded base station messages.
1. Move the switch on “SW2” to OFF
position (C) (see Diagram 2).This deactivates sensor.
2.Use a small screwdriver to open dry
contacts (E) on the terminal block (D).
3.Insert the two wires from your
switch contact into the terminal block.
Setting the Message Delay
Installing the Sensor/Transmitter 9 Volt Battery
Remove the front cover of the SoundAlert Sensor/Transmitter by pressing down on the release tab at the bottom of the unit (See below). Connect a 9-volt alkaline battery to the connector and replace the cover. NOTE:When closing the sensor, be sure to position the gasket carefully to insure weatherproofing.
Setting up the Sensor/Transmitter
BATTERY
The VR1 (B) (see Diagram 1) sets the sensor delay. This is the time between voice announcements. For example, if the sensor delay is set for 3 minutes (maximum), there will be 3 minutes between voice announce­ments; regardless of how many times a person has been detected.

To set the time delay, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw clockwise for longer time delay, counter clockwise for shorter delay. Message delay is factory set for 0 minutes. Set Up Mode: Voice announcement is played each time the sensor/trans­mitter is triggered by movement. Operational Mode: Voice announce­ment is played once and waits for the time you set on the time delay, checks the protected zone and transmits again only if movement is still detected.

Sensor/Transmitter Wall Mounting
Indoors
Wall Mount
Test the Sensor/Transmitter for range and correct operation before permanent installation
If the Base Station doesn’t respond, check that it has been properly pro­grammed to respond to the Sensor/ Transmitter or relocate the Sensor/ Transmitter to a different location, possibly closer to the Base Station, and test again. Refer also to the Base Station Operating Instructions for troubleshooting tips.
Installation indoors, on a smooth surface, can be accomplished with the double sided tape included with each SoundAlert Sensor/Transmitter. Simply peel off one side of the tape and apply it to the back of the Sensor/Transmitter mounting bracket. Peel off the second side of the tape and press the mounting bracket tape to the smooth surface or use the screws provided.
Outdoors
Screws (included) are recommended for installing the Sensor/Transmitters outdoors, on rough surfaces, or where there is the possibility of high winds. Securely install the mounting bracket at the desired location. The sensor should be placed approximately 7 feet above the floor for maximum range of detection (see diagram below).
7 feet
Choosing the best Location for your Sensor/Transmitter
Avoid Direct Sunlight
The Sensor/Transmitter should not be placed where sunlight will shine directly on the face of the Sensor/ Transmitter, (Indirect light through windows will not trigger the sensor).
Avoid hot and cold air currents
Install the Sensor/Transmitter at least 3 feet from strong forced air heaters, air conditioners or sources of drafts, such as doors.
Choose a location at right angles to the path of movement
The Sensor/Transmitter functions best when placed so that move­ment is across the detection pat­terns, rather than toward the sensor.
Avoid Obstructions
Place the Sensor/Transmitter so that no large objects obstruct the detection pattern. Trees and other moving objects like flags can cause false triggers.
Install the Sensor/Transmitter straight up and down
Installing the unit tilted slightly forward will reduce the detection range of the Sensor/Transmitter.
Avoid installing the Sensor/ Transmitter on metal surfaces.
Metal surfaces, such as aluminum siding, will reduce the radio signal transmission range of the Sensor/Transmitter, unless it is installed near the edge of a window.
Weather resistance
Make certain to reposition the rubber gasket around the edge of the Sensor/Transmitter carefully when reattaching the Sensor/Transmitter cover.

Sensor/Transmitter Pattern Adjustment
Choose the pattern for your Sensor/Transmitter to meet the needs of each monitored zone.The Sensor/Transmitter comes set from the factory with a fan pattern (A) that covers a 40’x 40’area, when mounted at 8’ above the ground. Use one of the flexible Pattern Adjusting inserts (included) to choose the pattern for either a vertical fan pattern (B) or a horizontal fan pattern (C).
To install a pattern adjuster
1. Remove the sensor cover.
2. Insert one edge of the plastic
pattern adjuster (D) into the frame behind the lens.
3. Gently press the pattern adjuster until the other edge snaps into the opposite side of the lens frame.
4. Make sure to carefully position the sensor cover gasket when closing cover to insure weatherproofing.

The Sensor/Transmitter included in the SoundAlert kit comes prepro­grammed from the factory and will activate any Base unit within range. If you decide to isolate a Sensor/ Transmitter to one receiver only or change the Code, follow these steps:
1. Remove the front cover of the Sensor/Transmitter by pressing down on the release tab at the top of the unit.
2. To change the code, set the 8-key dipswitch to any setting different from your other Sensor/Transmitter settings.
3. The new code setting must be programmed into the Base Station (see page 11 for detailed information).
4. If activating the same message is desired for any number of additional Sensor/Transmitters, set the dipswitch of each Sensor/Transmitter to the SAME code positions. Programming of the SoundAlert Base Station is not necessary for these additional Sensor/Transmitters, if the original codes have already been programmed.
Changing the Sensor/ Transmitter code
Programming Sensor/Transmitters to Activate Additional Messages
The Sensor/Transmitters included in the SoundAlert kits are pre-programmed from the factory and will function without modi­fication. If you decide to change the code or add more Sensor/ Transmitters, follow these steps:
1. Connect the SoundAlert Base Station
to a power source and turn the unit “ON” with the “POWER”switch.
2.The Base station has a 3 position slide
switch. Move the switch to the “PROGRAM” position
3. Set the 8 dipswitches in any setting
DIFFERENT from your other Sensor/Transmitter settings.
4. Activate the Sensor/Transmitter
by moving your hand in front of the lens and observing the LED flashing on the front. (The Base Station “SET UP” LED will glow, indicating that the transmission has been received).
5. While the “SET UP” LED is glowing,
press the button for the message that you want activated by that Sensor/ Transmitter, #1-#6.The “SET UP” LED light will stop glowing, indicating that the Sensor/Transmitter is now programmed to activate the selected voice message.
6. Return the slide switch to the
“RUN” position.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 4 to program
additional Sensor/Transmitters to each voice message.
Note: Any number of Sensor/Transmitters can be set to activate the same message by setting it to the same dipswitch code.

How to set-up the X-10, Leviton, or Lutron RadioRa Interface
You can control lights or other devices with your SoundAlert by using a module provided by others (X-10, Leviton and Lutron RadioRa). There are four C relay outputs on the bottom of the Base Station.
When a Sensor/Transmitter is trig­gered, you have the option of also triggering a module (such as the X-10 Powerflash) attached to one of these dry contact relay outputs. The four relayl outputs (labeled NO.1 thru NO.4) correlate to Zones #1 thru #4. Each contact has three outputs. The one on the left is NO (normally open), the middle is a common ground, and the one on the right is NC (normally closed). Contacts are rated to carry 24 VDC or 117 VAC at 1 AMP.
If you want to trigger a desk lamp, for example (in addition to playing the voice message) when the Sensor for Zone #1 detects move­ment, you must insert wire (not supplied) from the module into one of the Base Station output terminals as shown below.
Then plug the lamp into the module. One of the wires is placed in the "middle" or common output of NO.1 on the bottom of the Base Station. The other wire goes into the NO (open) or NC (closed) output directly to the left or right depending
on the operation you require. If you plug the other wire into the
NC (normally closed) contact, a triggering of the sensor forces the circuit open, breaking the circuit. In the desk lamp example, this turns the module and the lamp off. If you plug the other wire into the NO (normally open) contact, a trig­gering of the sensor forces the contacts together, initiating a circuit. In the desk lamp example, this turns the module and the lamp on.
