Note from Dakota Alert:

We have recently discovered that we had a technical inaccuracy in the manufacturing process on some of our wireless transmitter modules.  In order to correct this inaccuracy we unfortunately must reduce the maximum transmission range between our transmitters and receivers.  The range on our 3000 Series products will now be about 600'.  While we are still confident that we have some of the best wireless driveway alarms on the market, we regret any inconvenience this may cause.  If you need more range than our 3000 Series is capable of providing, please consider our MURS products which still have a range of several miles.The WMA-3000 is the next step in the evolution of the driveway alarm. We have taken our years of experience and created the ultimate in wireless systems.

The transmitter operates on one 9-volt battery and is easily mounted on a tree or post near the drive. The transmitter uses a passive infrared (PIR) beam to detect people or vehicles to a distance of up to 80 feet, then sends a radio signal back to the WR-3000 receiver up to 3,000 feet away*.

The transmitter is weather proof and meant for exterior locations. Up to four zones can be monitored with additional transmitters. The transmitters can be programmed so they will each sound a different tone at the receiver. The WR-3000 is the receiver for the WMA-3000 system. The WR-3000 plugs into a standard wall outlet and can be placed on a table or mounted on the wall. When the receiver gets a signal from the transmitter, one of four different tones (Classical, Westminster Chime, Ding Dong, or Whistle) will sound for a few seconds. There is also a volume control, allowing you to set the sound to the desired level.

The WR-3000 is equipped with four form “C” relays (one for each zone), and one 12-volt DC output terminal that will activate for several seconds when a signal is received. The receiver can be user-programmed, so the 12-volt DC terminal and one relay will activate for 10 minutes, if this is desired. The tones will still sound for several seconds.

* Actual range may vary depending on the local terrain.
