MIER PRODUCTS INC. MIPIDA-610 Manuel D’Utilisation
INSTALLATION
DA-610 TRANSMITTER:
The DA-610 transmitter operates on TWO size AA (LR-6) alkaline or rechargeable batteries providing 3.0 volts
DC to the sensing and transmitting electronics. When battery voltage reaches 2.7 volts a low battery signal is
transmitted lighting an indicator lamp on the receiver board. The transmitter will continue to operate for a
limited time at this voltage, but the batteries should be changed for continued operation. Batteries should last
about one year in a typical residential installation. To install or replace batteries, open the cabinet door, turn off
the power switch, install the batteries, observing correct polarity. Turn on the power switch, close and lock the
cabinet door. When working on the DA-610, it is advisable to unplug the receiver to prevent excessive false
alarms. The receiver should not be plugged in until the transmitter has stabilized for one minute.
The DA-610 is factory set to give an alarm for a sedan moving 5 mph at a distance of 10 feet. Large vehicles
moving in excess of 50 mph will be detected at 50 feet. With factory set sensitivity, install the DA-610 at least
50 feet from any streets or roads. The DA-610 has adjustable sensitivity for other installation options. At
maximum sensitivity 5 mph vehicle detection is extended to 12 feet, however large high speed vehicles will be
detected at 70 - 80 feet. At minimum sensitivity, 5 mph vehicles will be detected at 6 feet and large high speed
vehicles at 40 feet. The DA-610 sensitivity can be adjusted to achieve desired results for each installation,
however, the factory preset adjustment should be adequate for most places.
The four switches for address codes in the DA-610 are preset to 0000. 0 = off, 1 = on. To configure a different
address code, set a switch to on. For example; 1001, switch 1=on, switch 2=off, switch 3=off, switch 4=on.
The corresponding receiver address codes should be set to match the DA-610 code. Different address codes
would only be needed if multiple transmitters are in range of the receiver, such as a neighbors installation.
The DA-610 can be mounted in any orientation except with the antenna pointing down. IN ALL CASES, THE
UNIT MUST BE MOTIONLESS. ANY MOVEMENT OF THE BOX WILL TRIGGER AN ALARM. A suitable
lock should be put through the cabinet latch to prevent tampering or battery theft. For a simple driveway
installation, the unit can be turned on, locked, and placed on the ground near the drive. The DA-610 is
portable, so it may be taken by others if plainly visible. Some options are; to cover the unit with a fake rock or
other non-metallic cover, place the box in a nearby bush, or firmly bolt the case to a stable wood, plastic, or
metal post. A 4 X 4 mail box or fence post can be used. A tree could be used if it is stable in the wind. The
unit can be bolted to a building wall, either inside or outside. The DA-610 will detect moving vehicles through
most building materials such as brick or cement block. Any moving metal objects such as a gate should be
outside the detection range.
The DA-610 placed at ground level will have a transmit range of approximately 500 feet. If mounted at least 4
feet above ground, the range is extended to 1000 feet. At 6-8 feet above ground the range will be about 1250
feet. See figure 1 for a suggested mounting method.
