The MURS Alert transmitter is a passive infrared (PIR) detector that can be used to detect people, vehicles or large animals at selected locations. The PIR sensor will detect movement of objects up to 80 feet in front of the transmitter box. When a person, vehicle or large animal is detected, the MURS Alert will transmit a signal.

• When an target is detected by the MURS Alert, an alert
• signal will be sent to the M538-HT or M538-BS MURS
• radio. (See page 4 for more information about alerts)

When you open the MURS exterior case (figure 1-1), you will see an antenna (figure 1-2), a battery pack and the PIR unit. Attach the antenna to the antenna jack (figure 1-3), located on the top of the case.

The MURS Alert transmitter is powered by 6 AA batteries. For best results, we recommended that you use good quality alkaline batteries. When replacing batteries, do not mix old and new batteries together. The average life of the batteries is about 6 months under normal conditions. Conditions affecting battery life include use of the product in high traffic areas, and using product in a cold climate. If you live in a cold climate, it is recommended that you put in new batteries at the beginning of winter.

• In order for the sensor to detect properly
• it is recommended that the transmitter be
• mounted on a tree or post about 20 feet back
• from the area to be monitored and about 3
• to 4 feet off the ground. If you want to detect
• smaller animals, the sensor can be mounted
• closer to the ground. (See figure 2)

The MURS alert transmitter has 4 different alert signals. The alert signal will repeat the location of the transmitter. The signal will be a voice saying "Alert zone one...," "Alert zone two...," "Alert zone three...," or "Alert zone four." If you have more than one transmitter, you may wish to change the alert from the default setting (Alert zone one...) to one of the other alerts. This can be done by changing the position of the switch, located on the radio transmitter.

slide switch. If the switch is all the way to the top, it will be zone one, the other zones will be located in order from the top.

A. The factory-set default for the transmitter is Channel 01 Sub-channel (CTCSS) 01. B. Channel selection. The MURS Alert transmitter is capable of transmitting on any of the 5 MURS channels. To select the proper channel, locate SW1 (figure 4-⑥) and set it to the appropriate channel, If SW 1 is set to "0" it will default to channel 1. C. Sub Channel (CTCSS) selection. To select the proper CTCSS locate SW2 and SW3 (figure 4-⑦). SW2 is labeled 0-3, SW3 is labeled 0-9. SW2 represents the first digit in the CTCSS and SW3 represents the second digit in the CTCSS. Example for CTCSS to be set at 38, SW2 must be set at 3 and SW3 must be set at 8. The are 38 different CTCSS combinations, if the CTCSS is set at 39 or 00, no sub code will be in use.
