Programming & Tips for the LRA-C1000 (LRA-DCTX)

The LRA-C1000 is a long-range entry alert product designed for businesses, shops, warehouses, and larger homes. The kit has two components, a transmitter/sensor (LRA-DCTX) and a receiver (LRA-PBTX). When the sensor is triggered, it transmits a radio signal up to 1,000 ft. to the LRA-PBTX receiver.

If you need exactly 1,000 ft. or very close to it, you might have to look at another product like the ERA-UTDCR Doorbell Kit with a Range of 4,000 ft. There is also a range extender that works with long-range doorbell/alert products, the LRA-RPX.

The LRA-C1000 has an additional challenge in that it is mounted on the door and door frame. In commercial environments that usually means a metal door and/or metal door frame, which will cut down on the projected range of this product.

If the product is programmed correctly but isn't working, try moving the receiver closer to the transmitter. If it starts working, it is a range issue.

Solutions for Range Issues

1. Try placing double-sided tape, a cardboard shim, or something that provides separation between the transmitter and the metal or concrete on the door frame.
2. Get the LRA-RPX to extend the range up to an additional 1,000 ft.
3. Upgrade to the ERA-UTDCR long-range doorbell entry alert kit.
