Page 3: Installation
The ideal installation is without any splices. The use of cable other than that which is designed for the Drive-Alert is undesirable and voids the warranty. Improper splices and unsuitable cable are major causes of false alarms. If splicing is unavoidable, splice the cable using Mier’s DA-054 Splice Kit, or equivalent. - Page 4 Installation page 2 of 2 Keep the probe, cable, and control panel at least 8 feet away from heavy power lines, power panels, motors, arcing or sparking machinery, and radio transmitters. In some cases, moving the panel and/or cable a few feet can solve interference problems. FIGURE 1 illustrates the contacts on the bottom of the DA-500 Control Panel, with the sensor correctly attached.
