Introduction
This is the GE Micro Recessed Door/Window Sensor Installation Instructions for models 60-741-43-EUR, NX455-I, and
RF310I4. The micro recessed door/window sensor detects
whether a door or window is open or closed. The transmitter
is installed in either the door or window frame, and the
magnet is installed in the door or window. When the door or
window opens, the magnet moves away from the transmitter,
causing the transmitter to transmit an open (trip) signal to the
panel. When the door or window closes, the magnet moves
back to the transmitter, causing the transmitter to transmits
a close (restore) signal to the panel. The transmitter also
sends supervisory signals to the panel every 64 minutes for
433 MHz, and every 20 minutes for 868 MHz. The sensor is
powered by a 3.0 V long life lithium battery.
Installation
The installation instructions include installing the magnet and
transmitter, adding the sensor to the panel memory, testing
the sensor, and applying the label to the sensor, if needed.
Figure 1 shows the micro recessed sensor. Before installation,
read the Tools needed and Guidelines sections first.

Guidelines
Use the following guidelines for installing your sensor.
• Keep each sensor within 328 ft. (100 m) of the panel or
repeater.
• Avoid mounting a sensor where temperatures exceed
120°F (49°C) or fall below 10°F (–12°C).
• Whenever possible, mount the transmitter in the casing,
not in the moving door or window. For double doors,
mount the transmitter in the least used door and the
magnet in the most used door. This helps reduce jarring.
• Mount the transmitter in the header (top) of the door or
window frame to avoid electrical wiring..
WARNING: Some sites may have electrical wiring
running through door or window frames. Use
caution when installing to avoid electrical shocks.
Installing the magnet
Install the magnet first. To install the magnet, do the
following:
1. Determine a suitable location for the sensor.
2. Measure and mark the door or window where you will
install the magnet.
3. Measure the distance between the door or window and
the frame header.
4. Drill a 1/2 in. (15 mm) diameter hole 3/4 in. (2 cm) deep
into the door or window (see Figure 2).

Tools needed
You will need the following tools:
• Electric drill
• 1/2 in. (15 mm) paddle or twist drill bit, 4 in. (10 cm)
minimum length
• 3/4 in. (20 mm) twist drill bit
• Standard 5 mm screwdriver
•Tape measure or ruler
• Pencil, pen, or piece of chalk
• RF sniffer

5. Push the magnet into the hole, magnet side first.
6. Measure and mark the frame for transmitter installation.
7. Determine the sensor mounting method based on the
door clearance (see Figure 3 on page 2 and Figure 4 on
page 2).

Installation Instructions
Installing the transmitter
There are two methods of installing the transmitter: countersunk mounting (preferred), and noncountersunk mounting.
Countersunk mounting
To install the transmitter in countersunk mounting, do the
following:
1. Drill a 1/16 in. (4 mm) deep starter hole in the frame with
a 3/4 in. (20 mm) twist type drill bit. Finish the hole by
drilling with a 1/2 in. (15 mm) drill bit until the complete
hole depth measures 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm) (Figure 3).

2. Insert transmitter into the hole in the frame. Force the
metal teeth into the frame by applying firm pressure on
the transmistter.
3. Close the door or window.
Adding the sensor to panel memory
These are general guidelines for adding (learning) the sensor
into your panel memory. Refer to your panel installation
instructions or reference manual for complete details.
To add the sensor, do the following:
1. Set the panel to program mode.
2. Go to the Learn Sensors menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number.
4. Insert the blade of a standard screwdriver into the slot at
the top of the transmitter. Slowly rotate the top 1/8 turn
counterclockwise, then rotate back (see Figure 5).

2. Insert the transmitter into the hole in the frame. Force
the metal teeth into the frame by applying firm pressure
on the transmitter.
3. Close the door or window.
Noncountersunk mounting
To install the transmitter in noncountersunk mounting, do the
following:
1. Drill a hole with a 1/2 in. (15 mm) drill bit until the hole
depth measures 3 3/4 in. (9.5 cm) (Figure 4).
Note: There must be at least 1/4 in. (7 mm) of clearance
between the door or window and the frame.

5. Repeat these steps until all sensors are added (learned)
into the panel.
6. Exit program mode.
Alternative method of adding the sensor
For an alternative method of adding the sensor to panel
memory, do the following:
1. Set the panel to program mode.
2. Go to the Learn Sensors menu.
3. Select the appropriate sensor group and sensor number.
4. Remove the transmitter cover by inserting a screwdriver
in the top and rotating counterclockwise.
5. Using a screwdriver, press the add sensor button located
at the top of the circuit board (see Figure 6).
