319.5 Crystal MaxLife Door/Window Sensor
Installation Instructions
Introduction
These are the 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
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 leastused 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
communication.
• 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
available, 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.
) on doors,
• 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
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.
Programming
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
Figure 2. Sensor tab
2. If required, insert the battery into the battery holder,
observing correct polarity (Figure 3
) from sensor base slot.

Input selection
Only one door/window input can be used at any given time. For
example, if the external contact is used, internal reed switches

(refer to the specific panel/receiver documentation).
5. Exit sensor test mode.
Mounting
To mount the sensor:
1. Remove the sensor battery.
2. Remove the circuit board from the sensor base by pulling
back on the plastic tab.
3. Mount the sensor base using the screws provided (Figure

Verifying RF communication
Before mounting the sensor, verify the sensor mounting
location provides good RF panel communication.
To verify:
Put the panel/receiver into sensor test mode.
