Overview
Black replacement covers for the SHOCK-319
The Versa Wireless SHOCK-319 black cover pack is a set of replacement shock sensor covers for the SHOCK-319 shock sensor and door/window contact. Each 10-pack holds 30 pieces: ten sensor covers, ten magnet covers and ten magnet bases, so you get a full black change for ten sensors with the magnets matched too. The sensor itself ships white, and this pack is how you change it.
Black matches black window frames, dark stained wood and painted dark trim. Most homes mix white trim, wood frames and dark window profiles on the same job. Carrying one pack of each color means you fit the frame you find, without stocking a separate sensor for every color.
Most wireless sensor housings open the same way: you work a flathead into the seam and pry, or you back out a screw first. The SHOCK-319 housing doesn't open that way. The cover slides forward off the base and lifts away by hand. That leaves the battery, the board and the color all reachable, with the base still stuck to the frame and the sensor still enrolled at the panel. Nothing gets pried and nothing gets unscrewed, which means the part that holds your alignment never moves.
One thing to plan for: sliding the cover off is a monitored event. The sensor sends a tamper signal, and the blue Bluefield LED wakes up for 5 minutes. That gives you time to check the magnet is in range before you seat the new cover. So disarm the system or put the panel in test mode first, do the swap, and run the panel's test before you leave. The sensor page carries the full figures, and the SHOCK-319 installation manual is in the Versa installation manuals library.
Key features
What you get in the pack
- 30 pieces per pack, and that's ten sensor covers, ten magnet covers and ten magnet bases, all in black.
- Sized for the SHOCK-319, which uses the larger shock sensor housing and so gets its own pack.
- Slides off and on by hand, so there's no screw to back out and nothing to pry.
- The base stays mounted and the sensor stays enrolled, which means a color change never touches your alignment.
- The magnet is covered too, so the pair matches the frame instead of just the sensor.
- Molded matte plastic, Versa part V0000660, sold as a 10-pack for dealer and truck stock.
Setup
Change a SHOCK-319 cover in a minute
Disarm, then slide the old cover off
Disarm the system or put the panel in test mode, because taking the cover off sends a tamper. Then slide the old sensor cover forward and lift it away. The base stays taped to the frame and the board stays in it.
Slide the black cover on
Line the new cover up with the base and slide it on until it seats. The blue Bluefield LED runs for 5 minutes after the cover comes off, so you can check the magnet with the opening closed before you walk away.
Swap the magnet pieces and test
Lift the old magnet cover off, then fit the black magnet cover and base on the moving part of the door or window. Keep the gap inside the sensor's limit, which is 1 in. on wood and 1/4 in. on metal. Then run the panel's test and confirm the zone restores with the opening closed.
If you're swapping the battery at the same time, it's the same opening: fit the Versa CR2U with the plus end up before the cover goes back on. The SHOCK-319 installation manual has the cell type and the handling warning, and our article on how to change a Versa sensor cover shows the swap step by step.

After any cover change, re-test the sensor at the panel. Use the control panel's sensor test or Go/No Go test before you leave the site, and confirm the zone restores with the door or window closed. Seat the magnet base on the moving part of the opening and keep the gap inside the sensor's published limit. These are cosmetic housing parts for indoor, dry locations. Refer to the control panel instructions for the limitations of the whole alarm system.
Fitment
Which sensor these covers fit
These covers fit the SHOCK-319 shock sensor and door/window contact. The SHOCK-319 uses the larger shock sensor housing, which is why it has its own pack rather than sharing the MINI one. Panel compatibility, the frequency and the reed setting live on the SHOCK-319 page, not here. For the MINI-319, MINI-345 and MINI-433, see the MINI brown covers and the MINI black covers, which fit all three MINI contacts from one pack.

FAQ
Questions installers ask about Versa sensor covers
What comes in a SHOCK-319 black cover 10-pack?
Thirty pieces, and they're all black: ten sensor covers, ten magnet covers and ten magnet bases. That's a complete housing change for ten sensors and their magnets, so the pair matches the frame instead of just the sensor.
We sell it as Versa part V0000660. The sensor itself ships white, so this pack is how you change it.
How do I change the cover on a SHOCK-319?
Slide it. The cover moves forward off the base and lifts away, then the new cover slides on until it seats, and the base stays taped to the frame the whole time.
Disarm first. Taking the cover off sends a tamper signal, so disarm the system or put the panel in test mode.
Slide the old cover off. Push the sensor cover forward and lift it away, and the board and the base stay right where they are.
Slide the black cover on. Line it up with the base and push until it seats. The blue Bluefield LED runs for 5 minutes after the cover comes off, so you can check the magnet with the opening closed before you walk away.
Do the magnet and test. Fit the black magnet cover and base on the moving part of the opening and keep the gap inside the sensor's limit. Then run the panel's test and confirm the zone restores with the opening closed.
Will taking the cover off set off a tamper?
Yes, if the system is armed. Removing the cover is a monitored event on every Versa MINI and SHOCK-319, and the panel sees it as a tamper. That's exactly what you want on a live system.
So disarm the system or put the panel in test or programming mode before you slide the cover off, do the swap, and clear the test when you're done. The same goes for a battery change, because it's the same opening.
Do I need tools to open the sensor?
No. The cover slides off by hand, so there's no screw to back out and nothing to pry. That's what separates these housings from most wireless sensors, where the usual advice is to work a flathead into the seam.
How do I change the battery in the sensor?
Through the same opening. Slide the cover off, swap the cell, and slide the cover back on. The base stays on the frame and the sensor stays enrolled at the panel, so a battery round on twenty sensors is twenty slides rather than twenty pry-and-reassemble jobs.
Fit the Versa CR2U with the plus end up, and use only the battery type printed on the sensor, which is the Versa CR2U (or Panasonic CR2). Disarm or enter test mode first, because the cover coming off sends a tamper. The SHOCK-319 installation manual covers the cell type and the handling warning for that sensor.
Do I have to take the sensor off the frame to change the color?
No. The base and the board stay exactly where they are, and only the outer cover moves, so the mounting, the alignment and the panel enrollment are all untouched.
That's the whole point of a slide-off housing: you're changing a lid, not reinstalling a sensor.
Does changing the cover affect the shock sensitivity setting?
No. The dial sits on the board under the cover, and sliding the cover off doesn't touch it, so the setting you tuned stays where you left it.
Because the dial is right there, a color change is also a convenient moment to confirm the sensitivity with your palm on the frame and re-test. The blue Bluefield LED is live for 5 minutes after the cover comes off, which gives you a window to confirm the magnet is in range with the door or window closed before you seat the new cover.
Which Versa sensors do these covers fit?
The SHOCK-319, and that's the only sensor they're sized for, because it uses the larger shock sensor housing. For the MINI-319, MINI-345 and MINI-433 door and window contacts, see the MINI brown covers and the MINI black covers, which fit all three MINI sensors from one pack.
Can I paint a Versa sensor cover?
Yes, and that's one reason the cover is a separate part. It comes off without removing the board, so a cover can go to the paint booth on its own and slide back on afterwards.
Mask the indicator window and the label before you spray, and leave the base on the frame. If you need a color that paint can't give you cleanly, brown and black are the two we stock as 10-packs.
What colors are available and how do I order in quantity?
White ships on the sensor, and brown and black are stocked as these 10-packs. One pack of each lets you match wood, stained and dark frames from the same box. Our article on how to change a Versa sensor cover walks through the swap with photos.
