2. Function:
A. Detection. The MURS Alert transmitter is a passive infrared detector (PIR) that will can used to
detect people, vehicles or large animals at selected locations. The PIR sensor will detect movement of
objects up to 80 feet in front of the transmitter box. When a person, vehicle or large animal is detected,
the MURS Alert will transmit a signal.

B. Alert Signal. When an target is detected by the MURS Alert, an alert signal will be sent to any MURS
radio. There are 4 different Alert signals that can be sent. The alert signal will repeat the location of the
transmitter. The signal will be Alert Zone One..., Alert Zone Two..., Alert Zone Three..., or Alert Zone
Four...

3. Operation:
A. The PIR sensor must have an unobstructed view of the area that it is to monitor. The transmitter
should be mounted on a tree or post about 20 feet from the area to be monitored. When a target is
detected by the PIR, it will cause the transmitter to send the alert signal.

B. Channel selection. The MURS Alert transmitter is capable of transmitting on any of the 5 MURS
channels. To select the proper channel, locate SW1 and set it to the appropriate channel.
channels. To select the proper channel, locate SW1 and set it to the appropriate channel.
C. Sub Channel (CTCSS) selection. To select the proper CTCSS locate SW2 and SW3. SW2 is
labeled 0-3, SW3 is labeled 0-9. SW2 represents the first digit in the CTCSS and SW3 represents the
second digit in the CTCSS. Example for CTCSS to be set at 38, SW2 must be set at 3 and SW3 must
be set at 8. The are 38 different CTCSS combinations, if the CTCSS is set at 39 or 00, no sub code will
be in use.
