Installation Manual
SHOCK-319 Door/Window + Shock Sensor
The Versa SHOCK-319 is a 319.5 MHz wireless sensor that combines a door/window contact and an adjustable shock sensor on a single zone, for Qolsys IQ and GE/Interlogix-class panels.
To install it: pick a stationary mounting spot, run your panel's Go/No Go signal test, stick the transmitter to the door or window frame and the magnet to the moving part, set the DIP switch and shock sensitivity, then enroll the built-in serial number into your panel in autolearn mode.
Quick specs
Frequency
319.5 MHz, fully supervised. Works with Qolsys IQ and GE/Interlogix-class 319.5 MHz panels.
Power
One 3V lithium Versa CR2U cell (or Panasonic CR2), rated for 5+ years of service.
Mounting
Surface mount with the supplied double-faced tape. Transmitter on the frame, magnet on the moving part.
LED indicators
The SHOCK-319 uses three LEDs to guide installation and confirm alarms. The blue Bluefield LED is the magnet-alignment indicator that makes placement a one-person job.
| LED | What it means |
|---|---|
| Blue | Lights when the magnet is within proper range of the SHOCK-319 (1 inch max). Active for 5 minutes after the battery is first installed or when the cover is removed. |
| Green | Flashes when the SHOCK-319 detects a pre-shock measurement that is near, but not quite strong enough, to trigger the shock alarm. |
| Red | Lights to indicate a shock alarm is in progress. |
Set the DIP switch (reed contact)
A single DIP switch enables or disables the internal reed switch, which is the door/window contact. Set it before you mount, based on whether you want the opening reported as a separate contact zone.
| DIP switch | Function |
|---|---|
| ON | Enables reed switch operation — the SHOCK-319 reports both the shock sensor and the door/window contact. Shock activates when the reed switch and magnet are in the closed position. |
| OFF | Disables reed switch operation — shock only. The reed switch and magnet are unused, and shock activates whether the opening is closed or open. |
Choose a mounting location
Good placement is what keeps the SHOCK-319 catching real forced-entry attempts without nuisance trips.
- Choose a spot where the device body is stationary and the magnet mounts to the moving part of the door or window.
- Verify adequate signal strength using your control panel's Go/No Go test (see the panel's instructions) before mounting permanently.
- Avoid areas exposed to moisture, or where the operating temperature of 32° to 122°F (0° to 50°C) would be exceeded.
- Keep the SHOCK-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.
Install the SHOCK-319
Mount the transmitter
Mount the SHOCK-319 on the frame of the protected door or window using the supplied double-faced tape. Mount it on the frame or sash — not on the glass surface.
Mount the magnet and confirm alignment
Mount the supplied magnet on the protected door, or on the opening portion of the protected window. Check that the blue Bluefield LED lights when the door or window is closed, which confirms the magnet is within the 1 inch range.
Set the shock sensitivity
With the unit mounted, test sensitivity by gently hitting the surface with the palm of your hand. Gradually increase the pressure, or turn the shock sensitivity adjustment dial clockwise with a small screwdriver, until the desired response is obtained. Confirm that normal traffic and normal door/window operation does not trip the shock sensor, and that wind or window coverings do not cause accidental trips. Do not cause stress or damage to the mounting surface or glass while testing.
Enroll the SHOCK-319 into your panel
The SHOCK-319 has a built-in unique serial number that must be enrolled into the control panel. Refer to your control panel's installation instructions for the exact programming steps; the general sequence is:
Autolearn the sensor
- Place your panel in "autolearn" mode.
- Open or close the magnet, or tap the cover, so the sensor transmits its serial number.
- Customize the zone name and settings, then touch "ADD" to save.
Battery
The SHOCK-319 runs on one 3V lithium Versa CR2U cell rated for 5+ years of service. Replace it with a Versa CR2U or Panasonic CR2; using another battery may present a risk of fire or explosion. The slide-off lid lets you swap the battery with the unit still mounted.

Compatible panels
The SHOCK-319 programs as a standard supervised 319.5 MHz zone. It works with:
- Qolsys IQ Panel 4 and IQ Panel 2+ equipped with the 319.5 MHz (SRF) radio module
- GE/Interlogix-class 319.5 MHz security panels
On a Qolsys IQ Panel, add the 319.5 MHz (SRF) module so the panel can learn 319.5 MHz sensors, then enroll the SHOCK-319 in autolearn mode as above.
Two detectors on one 319.5 MHz zone — door/window contact plus adjustable shock. See full specs and pricing.

Frequently asked questions
How do I install the SHOCK-319?
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 Bluefield LED lights when closed, set the DIP switch and shock sensitivity, then enroll the sensor into your panel in autolearn mode. It installs as a standard supervised 319.5 MHz zone.
What does the DIP switch on the SHOCK-319 do?
The DIP switch enables or disables the internal reed (door/window contact). ON reports both the shock sensor and the door/window contact. OFF is shock only, with the reed switch and magnet unused.
Which panels is the SHOCK-319 compatible with?
The SHOCK-319 is a 319.5 MHz sensor for Qolsys IQ Panel 4 and IQ Panel 2+ equipped with the 319.5 MHz (SRF) radio module, and GE/Interlogix-class 319.5 MHz panels. It enrolls as a standard supervised zone.
How do I set the shock sensitivity?
With the unit mounted, gently hit the surface with your palm and turn the shock sensitivity dial clockwise with a small screwdriver until you get the response you want. Make sure normal door/window operation, wind, and window coverings do not trip it.
What battery does the SHOCK-319 use and how long does it last?
One 3V lithium Versa CR2U cell (or Panasonic CR2), rated for 5+ years of service. Do not substitute another battery type.
Can the SHOCK-319 be mounted on glass?
No. Install it on window frames and doors, with or without glass inserts, but never on the actual glass surface. Do not apply pressure to glass when setting sensitivity.
What is the Bluefield LED?
Bluefield is Versa's blue magnet-alignment LED. It lights when the magnet is within the 1 inch range and stays active for 5 minutes after the battery is installed or the cover is removed, so one installer can confirm placement without a second person at the panel.
