Installation Manual
MINI-319 Door/Window Sensor
The MINI-319 is a single-zone 319.5 MHz wireless door/window transmitter that enrolls as a supervised zone on Qolsys IQ and GE/Interlogix-class 319.5 MHz alarm panels.
Installation is three steps: install the CR2032 battery, mount the transmitter on the frame with the magnet on the moving door or window, then enroll the built-in serial number in your panel's auto-learn mode. The blue Bluefield LED confirms the magnet is in range so you set placement once, without walking back to the panel.
Frequency
319.5 MHz supervised, single-zone door/window transmitter with a built-in unique serial number.
Power
One 3VDC Panasonic CR2032 lithium coin cell (225 mAh); 5+ year battery life.
Mounting
Surface mount with the supplied double-faced tape — transmitter on the frame, magnet on the moving part.
LED indicators
The MINI-319 uses a three-color LED set. The blue and green LEDs stay active for 15 minutes after the battery is first installed or the cover is removed; slide the cover off again to reactivate them.
| LED | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Blue | Lights when the magnet is within proper range of the MINI-319 (1" max). Active for 15 minutes after the battery is first installed or when the cover is removed. |
| Green | Flashes when the MINI-319 transmits. Active for 15 minutes after the battery is first installed or when the cover is removed. |
| Red | On a low-battery condition, flashes once about every five seconds for two minutes after a transmission. |
Choosing a mounting location
Pick a spot where the transmitter is stationary and the magnet mounts to the moving part of the door or window. Before you commit the tape, verify adequate signal strength using your control panel's Go/No Go test (see the panel's instructions).
- Avoid areas exposed to moisture, or where the operating temperature of 32 to 122°F (0 to 50°C) will be exceeded.
- Keep the MINI-319 and magnet away from metal or metallic surfaces such as foil wallpaper.
- Avoid mounting in areas with a large quantity of metal or electrical wiring, such as a furnace or utility room.
- Mount on the door or window frame — not directly on glass.
Installation steps
Install the battery
- Slide open the cover.
- Install the battery with the "+" side up.
- Replace the cover.
The blue and green LEDs will be active for 15 minutes. To reactivate them later, remove the cover.
Mount the MINI-319 and magnet
- Mount the MINI-319 on the frame of the protected door or window using the supplied double-faced tape.
- Mount the supplied magnet on the protected door, or on the opening portion of the protected window.
- Check that the blue LED lights when the door or window is closed — that confirms the magnet is within range.
Enrolling the MINI-319 in your panel
The MINI-319 carries a built-in unique serial number that must be enrolled into the control panel. Refer to your control panel's installation instructions for programming details; the general sequence is:
Auto-learn the sensor
- Place your panel in "auto-learn" mode.
- Open, then close the magnet to trigger a transmission.
- Customize the zone name and settings, then touch "ADD."
Battery replacement
The MINI-319 runs on a single 3VDC Panasonic CR2032 lithium coin cell. When the red LED signals a low battery:
- Vertically slide open the cover and remove the old battery.
- Install a fresh battery with the "+" side up (see the specifications for compatible batteries).
- Replace the cover.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the MINI-319 door/window sensor?
Install the Panasonic CR2032 battery with the "+" side up, mount the transmitter on the door or window frame with the supplied double-faced tape and the magnet on the moving part, confirm the blue LED lights when the opening is closed, then enroll the sensor in your panel's auto-learn mode. Full steps are in the MINI-319 installation manual above.
What panels is the MINI-319 compatible with?
The MINI-319 is a 319.5 MHz door/window sensor for the Qolsys IQ Panel 4 and IQ Panel 2+ fitted with the 319.5 MHz (SRF) receiver, and for GE/Interlogix-class 319.5 MHz panels. It enrolls as a standard supervised zone.
How do I enroll the MINI-319 in a Qolsys IQ Panel?
Place the panel in auto-learn mode, open and close the magnet to send a transmission, then name the zone and touch "ADD." The MINI-319 has a built-in unique serial number, so it learns in automatically. Follow your panel's installation instructions for exact programming.
What battery does the MINI-319 use and how long does it last?
The MINI-319 uses one 3VDC Panasonic CR2032 lithium coin cell (225 mAh) rated for 5+ years of service. When the red LED flashes about every five seconds after a transmission, slide off the cover and replace the cell with the "+" side up.
What does the blue LED on the MINI-319 mean?
The blue Bluefield LED lights when the magnet is within proper range of the transmitter (1" maximum). Use it during install to confirm placement without walking back to the panel. It stays active for 15 minutes after the battery is installed or the cover is removed.
What is the magnet gap on the MINI-319?
The maximum magnet gap is 1" on wood and 1/4" on metal surfaces. Verify signal strength with your panel's Go/No Go test before committing the tape, and keep the sensor away from foil wallpaper and large metal surfaces.
Where can I download the MINI-319 installation instructions?
