be out of range.
The Alertmaster Notification System uses
radio signals to communicate between the
console unit and all its accessories. For the
Personal Signaler to activate, they all have
to be on the same "channel." A "DIP
Switch" is used for channel selection.
Your system and all the accessories have
been preset in the factory to a standard
channel setting. Under normal operating
conditions,
there is no adjustment
necessary
.
If your system encounters interference and
repeatedly activates by itself for no obvious
reason, maybe it’s being triggered by a
system nearby.
Change channel switch settings on all
components.
1. Unplug AC cord and locate DIP Switch
on the underside of the Alertmaster
base unit.
2. Slide open the battery compartment and
locate DIP Switch inside of the AM-PX/
AM-PXB.
3. Use a pen to change the DIP Switches to
a new matching setting.
4. Change the switch settings on each of
your other accessories (doorbell Remote
Receiver, etc.) to match the new switch
setting in the base unit. All settings must
be identical for the system to work. Switch
for AM-6000 is on the bottom, AM-7000
is on the back.
