Can I make a different
recording for every transmitter?
The receiver can only
handle 3 different recordings. That means if you had more than 3 transmitters,
the others would have to have one of the same recordings. If you put one in your
garage and one in your backyard, the recording for the garage transmitter could
be something like, "There's someone in the garage." and the back yard
could say, "There's someone in the backyard." This is how you would be
notified if someone trespassed into those areas.
The Sensor/Transmitters can be used indoors and outside. They are designed to
withstand weather including rain and snow but are not designed to be submerged
in water. When installed outside the Sensor/Transmitters do best when in a
covered area and not in direct sunlight.
The Sensor/Transmitter is a passive infrared receiver (PIR). It detects
movement by the change it causes in background temperature and then transmits a
radio signal to the Receiver/Speaker that movement has been detected.
The Sensor/Transmitters will transmit a signal in an open area up to 1000
feet to the Receiver/Speaker. Through walls the Sensor/Transmitters will
transmit a signal to the Receiver/Speaker up to 300 feet.
It is possible for branches to cause a false trigger. The best location to
install the Sensor/Transmitter in an area where tree branches and bushes will
not be blown by a wind in the detection zone of the Sensor/Transmitters.
The Sensor/Transmitters are designed to ignore small animals under 40 Lbs. To
reduce the possibility for a false trigger caused by movement of a small animal
it is recommended that the Sensor/Transmitters be mounted at a height of 7 1/2
feet above the ground. The lower the Sensor/Transmitters are mounted the higher
the chance of picking up a small animal.
The Sensor/Transmitter has two modes for sensing movement and sending a
signal. The (setup) mode that is set at the factory identifies all movement and
transmits each detected movement to the Receiver/Speaker. The battery saver mode
will detect movement every 3 minutes and then transmit to the Receiver/Speaker.
Removing the jumper in the Sensor/Transmitter will setup this mode.
Will
the system work through walls of my home?
The
system is designed to function through the interior walls of a home and exterior
walls of a home. The Sensor/Transmitters have difficulty transmitting a signal
through aluminum siding or metal surfaces and are best located on a window in
that situation.
How
many Sensor/Transmitters will the system recognize?
There is no limit to the number of Sensor/Transmitters that can be installed
with a system. There are 3 voice messages that are available for the
Sensor/Transmitters to activate.
The
Receiver/Speaker is designed to function as a power back up in the event of a
power outage. The Receiver/Speaker battery will function for up to 2 hours
depending on the amount of speaker activity.
Can
a Sensor/Transmitter be recognized by more than one Receiver/Speaker?
The
Sensor/Transmitter can be set to activate an unlimited number of
Receiver/Speakers.
Will
the Sensor/Transmitter recognize a small child?
The
Sensor/Transmitter is intended to identify children of about 40 Lbs or larger
when the Sensor/Transmitter is installed at a height of 7 1/2 feet above the
ground. If it is desired to identify smaller children then the
Sensor/Transmitter will need to be installed lower to the ground. When animals
are present they may create a false trigger.
Will
the Sensor/Transmitter work in the dark?
Yes, the Sensor/Transmitter will work in the dark or in full light.
How
long will the battery last in the Sensor/Transmitter?
The battery in the Sensor/Transmitter can last up to 1 year depending on if the
Sensor/Transmitter is set to battery saver mode. Temperature can also affect the
life of any battery. Operating a battery at cold temperature will reduce its
life.
How
large of an area do the Sensor/Transmitters monitor?
The Sensor/Transmitters are designed to monitor a 40-foot by 40-foot area when
they are installed at 7 1/2 feet above the ground and there are no obstructions.
Where
can I get additional Sensor/Transmitters?
Additional
Sensor/Transmitters are available on this web site.

Quick
Start Guide
- Unpack
your VOICE ALERTTM and identify all of the components.
- Install
the 9V batteries (supplied) in the Receiver/Speaker and the
Sensor/Transmitters
- Attach
the AC/DC power converter to the Receiver/Speaker and wall receptacle
- Turn
on the Receiver/Speaker by pressing the "POWER" button on the
front of the Receiver/Speaker (red front panel LED will turn on)
- Record
voice messages
- On
the back of the Receiver/Speaker slide the switch to "RECORD
VOICE" position.
- Press
a desired message button #1 or #2 or #3
- While
holding the message button speak into the "MIC" (6.5 seconds
maximum)
- Rear
panel LED will light while recording
- Return
the slide switch to "Run" position
- Repeat
steps A-C for each message button
- Install
Sensor/Transmitter #1 in location and trigger message #1
- Install
Sensor/Transmitter#2 in location and trigger message #2
- Press
"PLAYBACK" on front of Receiver/Speaker to hear the message and
stop LED from flashing.
- Adjust
the "VOLUME" knob on the front of the Receiver/Speaker to
desired volume level.
- For
your convenience the Sensor/Transmitters have been pre-programmed at the
factory.
- Sensor/Transmitters
have the largest detection pattern (40 feet X 40 feet) when installed at
71/2 feet above floor. Lower installation will detect smaller persons or
animals or objects and Sensor/Transmitters will have a shorter detection
pattern.
- Make
sure there are no obstructions or moving objects (tree limbs etc) in
desired detection pattern.
- Sensor/Transmitters
should not be installed where they will face direct sunlight or oncoming
automobile headlights. (indirect light through a window will not cause a
trigger)
- Avoid
installing Sensor/Transmitters on metal surfaces such as aluminum siding
or metal doors.
- Do
not drop any of the VOICE ALERT components as doing so may damage them
