How SoundAlert Works Co SoundAlert is the Talking Wireless Detection System that tells you where and when someone’s been detected. Bas 1 Ba 2 Se Del 2 Ba 4 Se 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.

Use pre-recorded voice messages or record your own. See page 6.
Ba Why the RAB SoundAlert System is Right for You It tells you when and where someone’s coming. Simply put the wireless Sensor/Transmitters wherever you want and you will be notified by a voice message when activity has been sensed in that area. It’s the easiest and most thorough monitoring device you will ever own! Residential “Boat” “Back Door” “Front door” On/O Swit Co Ba Great for Home or Business! It’s like having a 24/7 security staff that never sleeps.

Changing the Sensor’s Message Low Battery Reminder When any of the Sensor/Transmitters experience a low battery condition, the “LOW BATTERY” 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. 1. Move the slide switch on the front of the Base Station to “PROGRAM”. 2.
Setting up the Sensor/Transmitter Installing the Sensor/Transmitter 9 Volt Battery 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.
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.
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). A C B Side View A C B To install a pattern adjuster 1. Remove the sensor cover. 2.
Programming Sensor/Transmitters to Activate Additional Messages Changing the Sensor/ Transmitter code 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: The Sensor/Transmitters included in the SoundAlert kits are pre-programmed from the factory and will function without modification.
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.
To set the output duration of each connection: 1. Move the slide switch to the “RUN” position. 2. Press and hold the “PLAYBACK” button for 2 seconds to activate SETUP MODE. 3. In SETUP MODE, toggle through the setting sequence for each message button #1 - #4 to set the output duration for each terminal output connection. The three LED’s will indicate the time duration setting (see chart below). 4. Press the “PLAYBACK” button to lock in each chosen setting and return to operating mode. 5.
Troubleshooting Poor Distance • Check the Sensor/Transmitter battery. • Check the Base Station DC Power source. • Check the Base Station with a different Sensor/Transmitter. • Check that the Sensor/Transmitter is not fastened to metal. Move the Base Station about 1 foot in any direction. No Sound • Check the “POWER” switch on your Base Station. RIGHT is ON, LEFT is OFF. • The slide switch on the Base Station must be in the “RUN” position. • Turn up the volume control knob of the Base Station.
Troubleshooting Lim continued You repl prov or m Message Buttons Won’t Playback Message • Make sure the slide switch is in “RUN” position • Check the connection to the Base Station power For the for i Sensor/Transmitter Battery Goes Dead In A Short Time • Check that the power saver W1 and VR1 (Page 7, Setting Up The Sensor/Transmitter Battery Savers) have been reset. Adjust these if necessary and replace battery with a new one.
