Before connecting or operating the Window/Door Sensor, please read these instructions carefully and save this manual for future reference. Congratulations The GE Choice Alert™ Wireless Alarm System is one of the most affordable and expandable wireless alarm systems available. You’ll discover the system offers many features typically found in custom installed Alarm systems. The Choice Alert system is reliable and easy-to-use.
Important safeguards PreCautions 1. Do not attempt to disassemble the Window/Door Sensor, unless described in the user’s manual. There are no user serviceable parts. 2. Handle with Care – Avoid striking or shaking. Improper use or storage could damage the Window/ Door Sensor. Modifying or tampering the device or its internal components can cause a malfunction and void the Window/Door Sensor’s warranty. 3.
Introduction The Window/Door Sensor is designed to be used indoors or out. When mounted properly it can monitor doors, windows, gates, cabinets, etc. – any door or window that opens. When the door or window is opened, the Sensor will transmit a signal to the Control Center. The settings on the Control Center determine if an alarm, alert or chime sounds Parts Check List Identify all the parts before proceeding.
Preparing the Sensor for Installation The Window/Door Sensor consists of two parts – The Sensor (Transmitter) and the Magnetic Contact. Before installing, remove the yellow battery isolation tape from the the Sensor. This activates the Lithium battery inside the Sensor. The approximate battery life is up to two years. When replacing batteries it is recommended to replace all batteries at the same time in order ensure proper operation of the entire system.
Depending on what side of the door the Sensors mounted, the Sensor cover can be rotated, but the red marks must always be aligned in order for the Sensor to function correctly. Mount the Magnetic Contact on the door or window (the part that moves). In most applications you can use double sided tape (included). It is strongly suggested to mount Sensor and Magnetic Contract lightly to sure proper function/gap distance.
between the Magnetic Contact and the Sensor must be no greater than ½”. Once the plate is mounted, use the doubled sided tape to attach Sensor to the smooth surface of mounting plate. Be sure to position the Sensor so that the side with the red marking is on the same side as the Magnetic Contact. Once the Sensor and Magnetic Contact are mounted, you’ll need to assign the Sensor to a Zone on the Control Center.
Step 3 – Release all buttons. Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone will not trigger an alarm or chime. Step 4 – Activate the Window/Door Sensor - For the Window/Door Sensor, separate the two pieces or if mounted, open the door or window.
Note: The Zone/Sensor cannot be erased if: - The Zone has been triggered for an Alert or alarm. The Sensor/Zone must be reset. - There is loss of signal from the Sensor to the Control Center (such as low battery, or Sensor is out of range). - The system is armed. The Control Center will sound three beeps to indicate it could not erase the Zone. Testing a Sensor or your system Once all the Sensors have been assigned to Zones in the Control Center you can now test your system.
Low Battery Indicator The Control Center continuously monitors all the Sensors. If the Control Center does not receive a signal from any Sensor it will begin rapidly flashing the Zone LED indicator . This indicates one or more Sensors in the Zone may have low battery power and are unable to transmit a signal the necessary distance. If all batteries and/or Sensors are installed at the same time into a Zone, it is recommended to replace the batteries in all Sensors in the Zone.
Window/Door Sensor F.A.Q.’S Q. I bought a new Sensor and the Control Center will not recognize it. Why? A. First, make sure the yellow isolation tape has been removed and the battery is new. Second, ensure that the battery is inserted into the Sensor according to polarity(+/-) markings. Third, make sure that you have assigned the Sensor to a Zone. Q. I put Sensors on Zone 4 and it will not set off the alarm. Why? A. Zone 4 is a Dedicated Alert Zone and is designed to monitor Sensors in this Zone.
Q. Why does one of my Zones continually flash? A. This can be caused by 1 of 2 conditions. First condition, if it is a rapid flash it means a Sensor in the Zone has a low battery. If more than one Sensor is in a Zone, you will need to test each Sensor by putting the unit into test mode (see pg. 10 of manual). It may also be that a Sensor is out of range and cannot make contact with the Control Center. If this is the case, you may need to move the Control Center closer or use a Signal Repeater.
