Title: OnAlert Frustration
Post by: paul m on April 11, 2008, 05:48:46 PM
I cannot seem to get all my DS-10A modules to be recognized by OnAlert. They are recognized fine by the 561. Even a relatively close - brand new DS-10A - only 26 feet away is not being recognized. What gives? I even have a repeater installed.

Were you successful at getting any DS10As registered with OnAlert?

1) If you have an MS10A security motion sensor inside, then you might want to put a bag over its head while you are walking around to the DS10As.

2) If you are using an unmodified CM15A, then you may have an RF reception problem typical of these units. Is you repeater near the CM15A? Is the repeater the type that can repeat a security RF signal?

Puck is probably correct here - move one of the sensors very close to the CM15A to see if it can be configured.  If it can then it's a range problem and you need a "modification" to the antenna.  A taped window/door sensor might be easier to check out.  Good luck.
