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.

With Choice Alert you can select from a line of Sensors

and Accessories; start small and expand as you

need, or create a system that meets all your needs.

The Choice Alert System is protected by Priority

Code Selection technology which provides increased

security and trouble-free wireless connections. It

also guarantees the Control Center will only respond

to signals from your Sensors in and around your home,

and prevents anyone from tampering with

your system.

The user manual explains in simple steps how to

install, use and care for your new Choice Alert

Motion Sensor.

If you have any questions or would like

additional information please visit our web site

www.jascoproducts.com, or contact our

Technical Support Group at 1-800-654-8483.

Important safeguards

PreCautions

1. Do not attempt to disassemble the Motion 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 Motion

Sensor. Modifying or tampering the device or its

internal components can cause a malfunction and

void the Motion Sensor’s warranty.

3. If you feel the Motion Sensor or any part of the

Choice Alert system is not operating correctly or

as described, please contact Technical Support for

assistance (1-800-654-8483).

Introduction

The Motion Sensor is designed to be used indoors or

out. When mounted properly it can monitor large or

open areas such as entrances, living rooms, family

rooms, driveways, backyards, walkways, workshops,

etc. When the Sensor detects motion, it will transmit

a signal to the Control Center. The Zone selection and

settings on the Control Center determine if an alarm or

an alert sounds.

Preparing the Motion Sensor for Installation

The Motion Sensor consists of 2 parts – The Sensor

(Transmitter) and the wall mount. Before installing,

remove the screw from the battery door on the back

of the Sensor. You’ll need to attach the battery leads

to a “9V” battery (not included); Take care to note the

polarity markings. Replace the battery cover and

secure screw. An Alkaline “9V” battery in the Motion

Sensor can last up to 9 months,

Before mounting the Motion sensor, you’ll need to

assign the Sensor to a zone on the Control Center.

Follow these steps to assign a Sensor to a Zone.

Step 1 – Press and hold the Learn button on the

Control Center for three seconds. After the

Control Center sounds a long beep, release the

Learn button.

Step 2 – Press the Zone button (1, 2, 3 or 4) for the

Zone you want to assign to the Motion Sensor.

The LED indicator for that Zone will begin to ﬂash.

Step 3 – Release the Zone button.

Note: Zone 4 is for dedicated alerts only. Sensors in this Zone

will not trigger an alarm or chime.

Step 4 – Activate the Motion Sensor

- To activate the Motion Sensor, press the Learn

button located inside the battery compartment,

or if mounted wave your hand in front of the

Sensor (the red LED indicator will ﬂash inside lens

area in front of the Motion Sensor).

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.

Ensure the Control Center can receive the signal

from the intended location of the Sensor before

permanently mounting a Sensor.

Step 1 - To place Control Center in Test mode

unplug AC adapter and remove batteries.

Step 2 - Press and hold the ‘Mute’ button and plug

the AC adapter back into the Control Center. When

all the LED indicators turn on, release the Mute

button. The Control Center is now in Test Mode and

any Sensor can now be tested in any Zone.

Step 3 - Set the Notiﬁcation Mode to switch ‘Alert’

position and begin activating Sensors one at a time.

Note: The sensor has a LED that ﬂashes to show when the

sensor has triggered and transmitted to the main unit.

Step 4 - When testing is complete, unplug the AC

adapter, then plug the AC adapter back in and

reinstall batteries. This returns the Control Center

to standard operation mode.

Note: The Control Center will automatically return to standard

operation mode after 5 hours.

Installing the Sensor

Use the ball-head mount to mount the Sensor. The

minimum height recommended is 5-6 ft from the ﬂoor,

depending on where you want to mount the Motion

Sensor. Once the location is selected, before mounting

you should perform a manual test to conﬁrm the

Motion Sensor is within range of Control Center. Refer

to the Testing a Sensor section on pg 7. Mount the

ball-head joint to the location with screws provided.

Once the ball-head joint is mounted to the wall, slide

the back of the sensor onto the ball-head joint. The

mounting angle can be adjusted.

Erasing the Sensor from a Zone

Note: If you need to remove the Sensor from a Zone, the

system will erase the entire Zone, so any other Sensors will

need to be put back into that particular Zone.

Step 1 - To erase a Zone, press and hold the

Learn button on the Control Center. The unit will

beep once.

Step 2 - While holding the Learn button, press and

hold the Zone button to be erased. After ﬁve

seconds the Control Center will sound two beeps

and the Zone LED indicator will ﬂash twice.

Step 3 - Release all buttons. The Zone has

been erased.

Note: The Zone/Motion 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.

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.

However, you can check the Motion Sensor status

independently by placing the Control Center in Test

mode (see Testing a Sensor on page 7) and trigger

the Sensor separately. If mounted, wave hand in front

of Sensor, or press activation button for two seconds

inside battery compartment. If the Sensor does

not trigger an alert then replace the battery with a

new one.

Note: The Sensor detection system is ‘range dependant’,

which means Sensors located closer to the Control Center

may seem to have batteries that last longer than those

Sensors at a greater distance. Also, keep in mind, because the

Motion Sensor is continually checking for activity the battery

life is less than the lithium cell batteries in the other Sensors.
