2 INTRODUCTION TO THE WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT FAMILY OF SYSTEMS The Mier Products’ Wireless Drive-Alert Detection Systems give you the benefit of easy and economical wireless installation. All Mier Wireless Vehicle Detection Systems includes 3 components: 1. Receiver 2. Sensor/Transmitter and 3.
3 Wireless Drive-Alert Quick Installation Guide 1) • • • Test the system before installation by: Plugging in the Receiver. If it has a Whistle Switch (e.g. DA-600) turn it on. If the system is equipped with wireless chimes, plug one in nearby the Receiver. Opening the lid of the Transmitter, installing 2-AA Batteries and turning on the power switch and observing the valid XMSN LED on the Control Panel being lit. • Confirm that the Whistle, Chimes, Light Controls or other accessories have activated.
4 WIRELESS DA-600 DRIVE-ALERT PAGE 1 OF 3 MODEL DA-600 CONTROL PANEL/RECEIVER GENERAL INFORMATION: The Model DA-600 Drive-Alert is a direct wireless replacement for the original hard-cabled DA-500 model. An internal piezo electric whistle acts as the alert and is located inside the control panel. The whistle may be switched off if desired. The relay contacts on the terminal board are Form C dry contacts.
5 WIRELESS DA-600 DRIVE-ALERT PAGE 2 OF 3 Under the unit cover are the address code switches (see FIGURE 1: SW1, SW2, SW3, SW4 in left lower quadrant) that must be set to match those in the transmitter. These switches are preset at the factory for code 0000. They should only be changed if the transmitter code is also changed. Also there is a relay time control (see FIGURE 5 TIME near middle) which is preset at minimum of 2 seconds of alarm time. The maximum relay closer time is 12 seconds.

7 WIRELESS DA-605P DRIVE-ALERT DA-605P CONTROL PANEL/RECEIVER GENERAL INFORMATION: The DA-605P Drive-Alert’s receiver board is the same as the one used in the DA-600 receiver (see FIGURES 5-6). However, the DA-605P does not have an internal whistle, nor a whistle switch. The advantages of the DA-605P over the DA-600 are the DA-066 wireless chime transmitter which activates remote chimes as an alert.
8 WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT OPTIONAL ANTENNA AND SENSORS DA-660 DA-610TO DA-611TO The DA-660 Long Range Antenna is an option that can be used with all of Mier’s Wireless Drive-Alert Systems to boost the reception-range from the sensor to the control panel up to 1/2- mile. This is a factory installed accessory and must be ordered at the time of purchase by adding an “LR” to the end of the part number.
9 DA-660 Reception Booster Antenna DA-660 • When a monitored location is more than 1000’ away, the DA-660 is the perfect accessory for the DA-600 or DA-605P wireless Drive-Alert Vehicle Detection Systems. • This antenna boosts the normal Drive-Alert range up to 1/2-mile • The antenna measures 36” long, 13” wide, and 1.5” high. • It weighs approximately 1 pound.
10 Wireless Sensor Installation page 1 of 4 DA-610TO The DA-610TO Sensor/Transmitter comes standard with all of Mier’s wireless Drive-Alert Vehicle Detection Systems. This sensor detects the movement of metal within 14’ in every direction, and sends a signal back to the control panel up to 1000 feet away. See the DA-611TO below if you are not able to place the sensor right next to the drive, and see the DA-660 to boost the reception range between the transmitter and control panel up to 1/2-mile.
11 WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT SENSOR INSTALLATION page 2 of 4 DA-610TO (standard) Transmitter/Internal Sensor The Model DA-610TO Sensor/Transmitter contains the sensing and transmitting electronics and is to be placed in the area of detectable moving vehicles. The detection threshold is set by a sensitivity control (See FIGURE 6: lower Right Hand quadrant) on the transmitter circuit board. Maximum sensitivity adjustment is Clockwise and minimum is Counter-Clockwise.
12 WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT SENSOR INSTALLATION page 3 of 4 DA-611TO (standard) Transmitter/Internal Sensor The Model DA-611TO Sensor/Transmitter contains the transmitting electronics, and sensor “wand” on a 50 foot direct burial cable. The Transmitter box must be placed at least 5 feet above ground on a post, tree, or hung from any convenient point. The front of the transmitter box should face the receiver for best range.
13 WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT SENSOR INSTALLATION page 4 of 4 With factory settings, install the Sensor/Transmitter at least 60 feet from streets or roads (see FIGURE 7). FIGURE 7 illustrates a typical installation for all receivers and sensor/transmitters.

16 WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT TROUBLESHOOTING TREE Step 1 - Check to make sure the Power Light is on. If not, replace the internal 1A fuse, or send to Mier Products for repair. Step 2 - Make sure the Control Panel is mounted in an above ground area where its antenna can receive a good signal from the Sensor/Transmitter, and make sure the Sensor/Transmitter is in a position free where it can send a signal freely. Make sure there are no large metal objects, mirrors, aluminum siding, etc.
DRIVE-ALERT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS page 1 of 3 Q: How many Sensor/Transmitters can be used? A: Three hard-cabled sensors or unlimited wireless sensors, however there is no way to discriminate which Sensor/Transmitter is causing the alert to sound.
WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS page 2 of 3 Q: Both the Sensor/Transmitter and Receiver/Control Panel are installed but no function is occurring. A: Check the following •Receiver/Control Panel Power Lamp is ON. •Sensor/Transmitter batteries are installed. •Sensor/Transmitter Power switch is switched to ON. XMSN LED is On when Power Switch is first turned ON. •Low Battery Lamp in the Receiver/Control Panel is OFF. If ON then install fresh AA Alkaline batteries.
WIRELESS DRIVE-ALERT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS page 3 of 3 Q: Sensor Transmitter and Receiver/Control Panel are accurately alarming BUT false alerts are also occurring. Why? A: Check the following: •The code that was chosen is not being used by a neighbor within a 2000 foot radius using a standard installation (e.g. non-Long Range) and one mile radius if using a Long Range installation. •The Sensor/Transmitter IS located 40 feet away from power lines.
