Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE 45130 Choice-Alert Wireless Garage Door Sensor

Customer Review: GE-45130 Garage Door Sensor
Summary: 4 Stars

This GE Garage Sensor works great and easy to install at the base of any of the typical 3 vertical braces of a paneled garage door, using only two (2) #6-5/8" or #8 metal screws. My suggestion would be to make sure switch plunger 3/4 extended before selecting mounting position of the left-side 2 mounting holes. The right-side holes should be left vacant for mounting an optional Radio-Shack dual "C-size" open battery plastic holder (cat#270-385 @$1.79). When those +red/-blk leads carefully soldered to a depleated +3VDC cell (new cell included with sensor) & some slight lead notching to GE battery cover, the result will basically boost the power longevity x71 of that sensor; being that the 3V/225 mAH cells is now in parallel with two C-batteries at 16,000 mAH. Just have to make sure that using high-watt solder-gun only, using a dab of solder on cell edges, and insure polarities are correct. Then simply slip the spent cell back into its sensor slot, with leads oriented outwards and through the notched cell cover. Then mount C-size battery holder with just 1 #6 3/4-in screw, or more secured with #6 or #8 1-in. bolt, nut & lock-washer.

However! If mounting this garage sensor and the controller(s) are inside, highly recommend purchasing at least one GE-45138 Signal Repeater, using 1/2 of a in-garage 120VAC duplex-outlet, with adjustable antennae (suggest @ 60 deg). Plus the 45138 acts as a good tester: i.e., when garage sensor activates, the LED on the repeater should quickly flash in succession about 5 times, along with LED on the garage sensor.

Part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System
The GE 45130 Garage Door Sensor is part of the GE Choice Alert Wireless Alarm System line of products. Cost-effective and easy to install, Choice Alert components offer wireless operation, multi-zone coverage, home and away settings, all-weather function, and expandability for complete home protection.

With wireless capabilities, Choice Alert products require no complicated wiring, drilling or expensive installation costs. And because they are designed to be part of a self-contained system, there are no monthly usage charges. System components are simple enough for anyone to use, and they can be combined to provide a customized blanket of protection over your entire property.

Wireless Control Center for Sensor Monitoring
The entire Choice Alert Security System is designed around the Wireless Control Center, the system's hub. The Control Center monitors each and every sensor that is wirelessly connected to it. As many as four sensors can be programmed in each of four zones, giving you the security of up to 16 sensors to guard your entire home, including sensors for doors, windows, gates, water leaks, and motion detection.

The Wireless Control Center allows you to secure your system with a custom four-digit code that can be changed at any time. Plus, the center lets you control many system features. For example, you can select 'Home' mode for an instant alarm and 'Away' mode for a delayed alarm. In addition to the armed alarm system, the Control Center also offers a visible and audible Zone Notification alert system (with a choice of continuous alert or single chime mode) and a dedicated alert zone (Zone 4). The center wirelessly transmits and receives signals up to 150 feet.

Additionally, the Wireless Control Center features a low-battery indicator that will alert you when battery power is low in a specific zone, so you'll know exactly when to replace the batteries in every one of your components.

Combine Components for Total Home Coverage
To complement the Garage Door Sensor, there are several components available for use with the Wireless Control Center, including a door/window sensor, motion detector, water leak sensor, secondary audio alarm siren, signal repeater (for enhanced wireless range), and Silent Alert LED indicator. Add up to 16 sensors and give yourself the peace of mind that only complete home protection can provide.

Installs Wirelessly to Monitor Any Overhead Door
Installing the GE 45130 Choice Alert Garage Door Sensor requires no wiring or drilling. Using the included double-sided tape or screws, simply mount the sensor to the inside of an overhead door near its bottom and then pair the sensor with the Wireless Control Center. The Garage Door Sensor is powered by a lithium cell battery that will last for up to 24 months.

The Garage Door Sensor operates within 150 feet of the Wireless Control Center, and it can be used with any of the center's four zones. Anytime your overhead door is opened, the Garage Door Sensor will send a signal to the Wireless Control Center, which will in turn emit an alarm, chime, or silent visual alert (Zone Four) depending on the setting you choose.

The GE 45130 Choice Alert Garage Door Sensor is backed by a one-year limited warranty.
