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).
- Mount the magnetic contact with a drill and the two included screws, then snap the cover back on the magnet.
- Mount the transmitter bracket with the drill holes and two included screws. Make sure the arrow on the bracket is facing up.
- If you mount your transmitter outdoors, ensure the silicon grommets are plugged into the push button (the larger piece) to waterproof the casing.
- Slide the transmitter down onto the bracket.

My ERA-DSTX Detection Range Dropped From 25 Feet to 15Nine times out of ten nothing has failed. A PIR sensor’s usable range is a moving number set by battery voltage, thermal contrast against the background, and the angle at which the target crosses the beam pattern — none of which show up on a thermometer or a tape measure. Work the checks below in order. Most cases resolve at step 1 or step 3.How Far Will My ERA-DSTX Driveway Sensor Really Reach?A PIR sensor doesn’t measure distance — it measures contrast. It sees a target only when that target is meaningfully warmer or cooler than whatever sits directly behind it, and only when the target moves across the lens’s detection pattern rather than straight at it. Change the background temperature, the approach angle, the battery voltage, or the amount of film on the lens, and the same sensor in the same spot will “lose” ten feet of range with nothing visibly different.Understanding the 12V DC Outputs on Your ERA-DCRX Receiver: A Guide to Zones, Strobes, and BellsIntroduction to the ERA-DCRX Receiver The ERA-DCRX receiver is the heart of your long-range wireless doorbell system, designed for business and warehouse environments.
