How do I Troubleshoot a Dakota Alert Driveway Alarm System?

No Power

• 1

  Insert a screwdriver into each of the top two screws that mount the transmitter to a tree or post.

• 2

  Turn each screw counterclockwise to loosen and pull them straight out. Insert a screwdriver into the back of the transmitter, turn the screw counterclockwise and remove the screw.

• 3

  Remove and replace the six AA batteries in the correct order printed on the case. Replace the back of the case and remount the transmitter.

Height Adjustment

• 4

  Stretch a measuring tape from the ground to the eye on a mounted transmitter. The eye is the rectangular portion near the top of each transmitter. The distance from the ground to the eye should be 3 to 4 feet to detect movement of objects in that size. This will detect cars, people and large livestock but not small animals for trail monitoring.

• 5

  Remove the transmitter mounting screws and adjust the height up or down to detect the items you are monitoring.

• 6

  Replace the two mounting screws and turn them clockwise with a screwdriver to mount the transmitter.

Order of Alerts

• 7

  Push one of the side clips outward from the radio transmitter inside your home.

• 8

  Lift the front cover off the transmitter to reveal the alert zone message switch on the right.

• 9

  Slide the switch up to the zone one setting. This will enable the farthest outdoor transmitter to report movement first and then each additional outdoor transmitter message in the correct order from farthest to nearest.
