properly.
2. SET UP CODE CONNECTORS AND ZONE CONNECTORS
1. CODE CONNECTORS
In order for the sensor to communicate with the receiver properly, the
sensor's code must match with the receiver's code. Code connectors 1
to 6 can be found by opening the battery cover of the sensor and the
back cover of the receiver. Note: Before opening the battery cover, it is
necessary to remove the transparent protective cover. Keep it for future
use. User is required to set these code connectors randomly and the
code settings on the sensor and receiver must be the same. Each
position of the code connector can be set to "+", "-" or "0" position.
Refer to the diagram below to set the code connectors properly. If the
connector is placed on the top and middle posts, that column is set on
" + ". If the connector is placed on the middle and bottom posts, that
column is set on " - ". If the connector is removed completely, (not placed
on any posts), it is set to " 0 ". (see diagram for examples of how to set a
column to the three different positions).

Note: If you experience interference from a nearby system, which could
accidentally trigger your system, please change the code settings on the
sensor and receiver. The code setting on the sensor and receiver should
still match after changing the code setting.
2. ZONE CONNECTORS
Each receiver can work with up to 4
different sensors (to represent 4
different zones on the receiver).
There are 2 connectors that deter-
mine the zone number 1, 2, 3, or 4.
These 2 connectors can be found by
opening the battery cover. Please
follow the chart below to set the zone
number. If the sensor is set to zone
number 1, then the receiver zone 1
signal will correspond to this sensor.

3. POWER UP THE HOUSEHOLD ALERT
GARAGE DOOR MONITOR
After setting up all the connectors, both units are ready to be powered up.
Plug in the adapter to the receiver, the green LED will start flashing
indicating the receiver unit is powered up but no sensor is detected.
Push the detection rod to it's fully retracted position. Remove the battery
cover on the sensor and insert the 3V lithium battery to the sensor as
shown in the diagram.
The LED on the sensor will flash 8 times to indicate the unit is properly
powered and there is signal transmission to the receiver. The green LED
on the receiver will stop flashing and stay on. Make sure to put the
transparent protective cover back in place after setting up.
Plug in adapter to the receiver
If the green LED on the receiver does not stop flashing, ensure the code
setting on the sensor is identical to the receiver. Position the sensor
vertically to allow the detection rod to drop. One of the LED on the
receiver will flash and the buzzer will also beep. Please put the battery
cover and transparent protective cover back in place.
You can install the sensor onto the garage door.
Note: The receiver may not be able to receive the signal from the
sensor properly if they are too close to each other. Move the sensor
further from the receiver to test again.
