Installation Instructions
Introduction
This is the GE 2-Button Pendant Panic Sensor 868 GEN2 Installation
Instructions for model TX-3011-03-1. The sensor is a supervised,
wireless device designed to be used throughout the installation site.
The sensor is worn around the neck on the strap provided. The sensor
is water resistant and has been tested to a depth of 9 ft. (3 m).
The sensor contains a transmitter and two activation buttons (left
and right
B
in Figure
1
). It does not require switches or external
wiring. An alarm is activated by pressing and holding both buttons
for a minimum of half a second. The LED (
sensor flashes for one minute following activation.
The sensor can also transmit additional signals when a single button
is pressed; the resulting action at the panel is specific to the panel
and can be used for a variety of applications.
The sensor periodically transmits a signal so the panel can supervise
the sensor. When the sensor battery voltage is low, the sensor sends
a low battery (trouble) signal to the panel.
Installation guidelines
For proper operation of the sensor, use the following guidelines:
• Try to keep the sensor within 100 ft. (30.5 m) of the panel. This
recommendation is only a guideline, actual sensor range is
determined during sensor testing.
• To allow users to take the sensor offsite, without the panel
reporting a supervisory or failure condition, program the sensor
into an unsupervised sensor group.
Programming
The following steps describe general guidelines for programming
(learning) the sensor into panel memory. Refer to your panel docu-
mentation for complete programming details.
To program the sensor, do the following:
1.
Set the panel to program mode.
2.
Proceed to the Learn sensors menu.
3.
Select the appropriate sensor group number.
4.
Select the sensor number assignment.
5.
When prompted by the panel, trip the sensor by pressing and
holding both buttons on the pendant for five seconds.
6.
Exit program mode.
Testing
The following steps describe general guidelines for testing the
sensor. Refer to your panel documentation for complete testing
details.
To test the sensor, do the following:
1.
Use the panel touchpad to enter the dealer sensor test mode.
2.
Press both buttons on the sensor to activate it.
3.
Listen for the appropriate siren response as described in the
panel documentation.
4.
Test the sensor from several locations within the premises to
check for consistent responses.
Note: In life safety applications, test the sensor weekly.

Battery replacement
To replace the sensor battery, do the following:
1.
Remove the four housing screws on the back of the sensor (
and separate the cover from the base.
You must be free of static electricity while handling circuit
boards. Touch a grounded metal surface before touching
the circuit board.
2.
Remove the circuit board (

3.
Remove the old battery by sliding it from the holder and install
the new battery with the positive side up to observe polarity (
in Figure
4
). The red LED will blink when the battery is installed
with correct polarity.
4.
Place the circuit board back into the housing, ensuring the
board is facing in the proper direction.
5.
Place the back cover on the housing and secure with the four
screws. Be sure the left and right activation buttons are in the
correct location (
