PIR settings (figure 1)
The jumpers settings are as follows:

Range: High - 80 feet
             Medium - 50feet
             Low - 30feet
LED: ON - led will flash when it detects
          OFF - led is always dark
Filter: On - set for outdoor use
           Off - set for indoor use
Reset: 15 seconds to reset after activation
            120 seconds to reset after activation

Coding the transmitter:

Note: The transmitters and receivers are preset at the factory. DO NOT change settings, unless changing the tune or experiencing false signals.

1. When looking at the PIR you will see clips on the sides of the plastic case. Push one of the clips away from the center of the case and lift out the PIR and the plastic backing. You will now be looking inside of the case at the radio transmitter figure 2)

   
2. Locate the dip switches in the WM I 3000 transmitter module (figure 2).

3. The first eight dip switches are for the frequency setting (256 combinations). Set switches 1-8 (3) to match the eight switches in the receiver.

4. Switches 9 and 10 (4) are for the zone/channel settings on the transmitter. The four zones are listed in the table below.

5. HIGH/LOW JUMPER SETTING: The low jumper setting should be used when 1000 feet or less of range is needed between transmitter and receiver. The low setting will increase battery life. Use the high setting when more than 1000 feet of range is needed between transmitter and receiver.
 
LOW BATTERY ALERT: If the receiver sounds a second alert 30 seconds after the first alert, provided nothing trips the transmitter again, the 9 volt battery in the transmitter should be changed.
   
Mounting the transmitter:

1. Select a location to mount the transmitter, such as a post or tree.

2. For best results, the transmitter should be about three to four feet off the ground, and about twenty feet from the side of the drive.

3. The transmitter will detect people or vehicles to about eighty feet, but occasionally it may detect one hundred feet. For this reason, it is best to avoid pointing the transmitter at streets or roads in the distance.

4. The transmitter must remain completely immobile or a false signal may result. For this reason, avoid mounting the transmitter on flimsy objects or small diameter trees that may move in the wind
   
Coding the receiver:

1. Open the receiver case by inserting a small screwdriver into one of the pry notches on
the side of the case (refer to receiver manual)
2. Gently lift off the front cover.
3. Locate the eight dip switches on the receiver and make sure they are set identically to dip switches 1-8 on the transmitter.

Note: If more than one transmitter is used with the receiver, the first eight dip switches of all transmitters must match the eight dip switches of the receiver.
Note: Whenever a change is made to the time jumper or the dip switches, the receiver must be turned OFF and then back ON to operate properly.

Frequency: 433.92 MHz
Operating range: -30 F to 110 F
Battery life 6-12 month,
 
Troubleshooting the WMT-3000

Although the WMT-3000 should be very reliable, there are occasions, when you might have
false alarms or a failure to alert. If you are getting false alarms, please try this:

*Set filter jumper to "ON".
*Decrease range jumper.
*Make sure that the transmitter is not pointing at a road in the distance.
*The sun maybe causing false signals; try to relocate the transmitter to a different position.
*Make sure the transmitter is not detecting animals.

If the transmitter is not detecting, try one of these:

*Change the battery in the transmitter.
*Make sure the transmitter and receiver are coded alike.
*Change the height and distance of the transmitter from the driveway.
*Move the transmitter closer to the receiver.
*Keep the transmitter away from large metal objects that may interfere with the radio signal.
