These are the GE 319.5 Crystal Maxlife Door/Window Sensor 
Installation Instructions for models 60-362N-10-319.5 and 60-
362N-11-319.5. Install the sensor (Figure 1) on doors, windows, 
and other objects that open and close. The sensor transmits signals 
to the control panel when a magnet mounted near the sensor is 
moved away from or closer to the sensor. The sensor is equipped 
with a cover tamper microswitch for additional security. 

Use the following installation guidelines:

• Mount the sensor on the door frame and the magnet on the 

door. For double doors, mount the sensor on the least-used 
door and the magnet on the most-used door.

• Where possible, install sensors within 100 ft. (30 m) of the 

panel. While a transmitter may have an open-air range of 
500 ft. (150 m) or more, the environment at the installation 
site may have a significant affect on operational range. 
Changing a sensor location may improve wireless commu-
nication.

• Line up the alignment mark on the magnet to one of the 

alignment marks on the sensor.

• Mount sensors at least 4.7 in. (12 cm) above the floor to 

avoid potential damage.

• Avoid mounting sensors in areas where they will be exposed 

to moisture or where the operating temperature range will 
exceed the specified range.

• If possible, mount directly to a stud. If a stud is not avail-

able, use plastic anchors.

• Avoid mounting the sensor in areas with a large quantity of 

metal or electrical wiring. 

• Only one input can be used at any given time.
• You must mount the magnet within 3/8 in. (0.95 cm) of the 

sensor.

• Mount sensors with screws, not double-sided tape.
• Only install the EOL resistor when an external contact is 

used.

You will need the following tools and materials:

• Two #6 x 1.00 in. PPH (Phillips panhead) screws and two 

plastic anchors for mounting the sensor (included).

• Two #6 x 0.625 in. PPH screws for mounting the magnet 

(included).

• External contact 4.7 Kohm end-of-line (EOL) resistor 

(included).

• Phillips screwdriver

This section describes general guidelines for programming 
(learning) the sensor into panel memory. Refer to the specific 
panel or receiver documentation for complete programming 
details.
To program the sensor:
1.

Remove the sensor cover by squeezing the cover ends 
firmly releasing the tab (Figure 2) from sensor base slot.

2.

If required, insert the battery into the battery holder, 

observing correct polarity (Figure 3).

3.

Set the panel to program mode.

4.

Proceed to the Learn sensors menu.

5.

Set the external contact in the alarm condition (see 

 on page 3).

6.

Press and release the tamper switch (Figure 3) on the sensor 
until the panel responds.

7.

Select the appropriate sensor group and number.

8.

Exit program mode.

CAUTION:  You must be free of all static electricity 

when handling electronic components. Touch a 
grounded, bare metal surface before touching a 
circuit board or wear a grounded wrist strap.
