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 Sensor 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

Window/Door Sensor.

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. If you feel the Window/Door Sensor any part of

the Choice Alert system is not operating correctly or

as described, please contact Customer Service for

assistance (1-800-654-8483).

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

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.

Note: When using doublesided tape apply to clean dry surface.

For Interior Mounting –

The Sensor & Magnetic

Contact can be mounted

vertically or horizontally

but note that the

Magnetic Contact must

be aligned (on the same

side) as the red marking

on the Sensor. The red marking indicates which side

the contact switch is

located inside the Sensor.

The gap between the

Magnetic Contact and

the Sensor must be no

greater than ½”. Select

a position on the door

frame or window frame

to mount the Sensor;

Sensor

Magnet

"Red Marking"

on the side

Red markings must be alligned.

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.

Once you are conﬁdent with the mounting position

apply pressure to secure

both pieces to surface.

Use the two screw caps to

cover the screw holes for

the Magnetic Contact, they

simply snap into the holes

for a clean appearance.

For exterior mounting –

The same mounting instructions (above) apply to

mounting the Sensor/Magnetic Contact outside.

However, when mounting outdoors, the mounting

surface is often porous or not smooth (the doubled

sided tape may not ﬁrmly attach to the surface). In

this instance you should use the separate mounting

plate/screws (included) for the Sensor and the

smaller screws for the Magnetic Contact. Attach the

Magnetic Contact to the door, gate, etc, nearest the

edge. Position and mount the plate for Sensor onto

the desired porous or non-stick surface with larges

screw – take special note to ensure the 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.

Assigning the Sensor to a Zone

Assigning the Sensor into a Zone is an easy four step

process, however there are a few points to remember

- Only one Sensor can be assigned at a time.

-A Sensor cannot be assigned to two different Zones.

-Up to four Sensors can be added per Zone (if a ﬁfth

Sensor is added then the ﬁrst Sensor will be replaced.)

-Batteries must be active in the Sensor before it can

be assigned to a Zone.

-Sensors can be assigned to a Zone and then

mounted, or can be mounted and then assign to

a Zone.

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. When 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 Window/Door

Sensor. The LED indicator for that Zone will

begin to ﬂash.

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.

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.

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.

Ensure the Control Center can receive the signal

from the intended location of the Sensor before

permanently mounting a Sensor.

Step 1 - Unplug AC adapter and remove batteries

from the Control Center.

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 ‘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 Control Center.

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.
