This is the GE DesignLine Recessed Door Contact Installation 
Instructions for model TX-1510-01-1. The TX-1510-01-1 is the 
industry’s most flexible supervised, recessed door contact 
allowing a multitude of applications while hiding the transmitter 
within a door frame. The contact uses a replaceable lithium 
battery and should last five years under normal usage.

The contact comes with a standard flush-mount top and a flanged 
top. Unscrew the top to access the battery or change to a different 
top.

To install the battery, do the following:

1.

Unscrew the top of the contact.

2.

Carefully pull the circuit board out (Figure 1) of the contact. 
Before removing the circuit board, notice that it fits inside a 
channel on the inside of the case. Do not pull the circuit 
board unit by the antenna wire.

3.

Slide the battery onto the circuit board unit with the plus (+) 
side up.

4.

Slide the circuit board unit into the contact. Make sure you 
slide it back into the channel guides for proper fit with the 
tamper switch facing up.

5.

Screw the top back on the contact.

When replacing batteries, use only Panasonic Lithium CR23 
batteries for replacement. 

It is important to select the proper placement of the recessed 
transmitter and magnet. The transmitter has two separate tops 
that allow a flush mount or screw mount in case you accidently 
over drill the hole or require extra support to ensure the trans-
mitter does not move. The magnet does not have a second 
flanged top so you must be careful to ensure that the magnet is 
tightly in place once installed.

To mount the transmitter and magnet, do the following:

1.

Install the CR2 battery if you have not already done so 
(Figure 1).

2.

Select a location on the door frame for the TX-1510-01-1 
transmitter and magnet to be installed (Figure 2). Use a 
marker to mark the placement and ensure that the two holes 
you intend to drill are lined up directly across from each 
other.

Note:  This is only one mounting option. You should select the 

best mounting method based on the application.

3.

Using an 7/8 in. drill bit, slowly drill the first hole for the 
magnet. The TX-1510-01-1 was specifically designed to be 
slightly larger than an 7/8 in. hole so you will need to care-
fully drill to fit by slowly routing the hole little by little to 
ensure a snug fit.

4.

Using a 7/8 in. drill bit, drill the mating hole for the trans-
mitter and use either the standard flush-mount cap and insert 
the transmitter for a snug fit, or use the flanged cap and use 
the screws provided to mount the transmitter to the door 
frame.

CAUTION:  You must be free of all static electricity 

before handling sensor circuit baords. Touch a 
grounded, bare metal surface before touching 
cirucuit boards or wear a grounding strap.

WARNING:  The battery may explode if mistreated. Do 

not recharge, disassemble, or dispose of in fire.
