This document does not discuss programming the ERA-UTX but rather the physical mounting of the transmitter. You do not need the smaller magnetic if using a push button only.

Mounting the ERA-UTX as a Push Button

You can use the transmitter as a doorbell that activates when the center button is pressed.

  • Use a drill bit and two of the two included screws to mount the transmitter bracket. Make sure the arrow printed on the bracket is pointed up.
  • If mounting outside, ensure the grey silicon grommets covering the screw holes are inserted.

  • Slide the transmitter down onto the bracket.

Mounting the ERA-UTX as a Door/Window Contact

The ERA-UTX may also be used as a magnetic door/window contact that triggers when the smaller magnet separates from the larger piece.

  • Choose mounting locations where the magnetic contact (the smaller piece) is 1/2 inch or less from the push button (the large piece).
