In addition to tune and LED settings, “Advanced Setup” lets you set up exterior sensors using the Relay 1, Relay 2, and the 12 VDC terminals. BASIC SETUP Note: You can connect up to 16 Dakota Alert 4000 Series transmitters to your receiver. 1. Place your receiver and transmitter(s) next to each other. Note: Be careful not to activate your transmitter until you select the tune you want. If you do accidentally activate the transmitter on the wrong tune, reselect a tune and reactivate the transmitter. 2. Press and hold the MODE button for three seconds until all LEDs flash and start blinking slowly. 3. Press the (volume) button repeatedly until you find the tune you want to sound when a transmitter is activated. 1 Ding Dong (high) 5 Alarm/Siren 9 William Tell 13 Beep (high) 2 Ding Dong (low) 6 Coo Coo Clock 10 Canon in D 14 Beep (low) 3 Westminster 7 Bird Chirping 11 Morning 15 Beep, Beep 4 Fur Elise 8 Twinkle 12 Toreador 16 Beep, Beep, Twinkle March Beep, Beep 4 --- page break --- 4.

Back of receiver 1. To connect lead wires to the terminals, strip off 3/8” (10 mm) of insulation from the end of the wire. Note: The terminals work with wire gauges from 22 to 16 AWG (low voltage only). 2. With a small screwdriver, press the orange button to open the terminal. 3. Insert the bare end of the wire into the terminal opening, then release the orange button. The terminal clamps down on the wire. 4. Pull gently on the wire to make sure that your connection is secure. Bottom of receiver 8 --- page break --- ADJUSTING THE VOLUME Press the (volume) button repeatedly to adjust the volume (four levels and off ). The LEDs show the volume level for four seconds. LOW BATTERY INDICATOR If the RE-4k Plus receiver plays your transmitter’s tune twice and the LED blinks slowly for ten minutes after the transmitter is activated, your sensor’s battery is low. Replace the battery. CANCELLING OUTPUT SIGNALS After the RE-4k Plus receives a signal, the relay and voltage outputs activate, the chime sounds, and the LED flashes for 15 seconds. If you want to stop these actions after they have started, briefly press the MODE button. The receiver resets and is ready to be activated again. 9 --- page break --- DELETING ALL SENSORS 1. Press and hold the MODE button for three seconds until the LEDs flash slowly. 2. Press and hold the MODE and (volume) buttons again for five seconds. The four lights flash quickly, then turn off. The receiver is reset, and all codes are deleted. Note: To recode transmitters to the receiver, see “Basic Setup” or “Advanced Setup.”
