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.
•The Sensor/Transmitter is SECURELY MOUNTED and NO MOVEMENT IS OCCURRING.
•Check to ensure that the sensor located in the Sensor/Transmitter enclosure can not slide back and forth.
•Notice if there is vibration sources in the area that the false alerts may be coincident with.
•Slow moving low density magnetic eld disturbing items are greater than 15 feet away (e.g. metal gates, fences, motors or
motor controls, magnetic security devices, low or high voltage landscape lighting, telephone communication wiring or etc.).
•The Sensor/Transmitter IS located at least 50 feet off any roadway that carries light slow to medium trafc speed and 75 feet
minimum off any roadway that carries medium to heavy trafc speed. Should the Sensor/Transmitter be picking up large
vehicles such as Trains, Logging Trucks, Agricultural, Semi-Tractor Trailers, School Buses and the like some work may be needed to
identify the best location and sensitivity setting to satisfy the needs of the specic application.
•Check that environmental effects ARE NOT occurring with the Sensor/Transmitter and its antenna (e.g. animals or humans
disturbing it, strong high winds causing the unit to rock or the antenna to “wave” with the wind, blowing snow, sticks or clumps of
leaves hitting the unit or antenna). If this is suspected, a DA-067 Antenna Stabilizer is recommended as part of the solution.
•If using an X10 implementation (e.g. DA-600 with added DA-057 and DA-058 or a DA-603 or DA-604) change Unit and House
code dials.
•If using a DA-605 implementation change the code of the Radio Module and the Chime per included instructions.
•If using a DA-605 implementation check that automotive remote security door locking devices (e.g. also known as key fobs) ARE
NOT causing false alarms to occur and change the Radio Module and Chime codes per included instructions is appropriate.
