An Introduction to 2GIG 345S Encryption Capable Sensors
Posted ByAlarm Grid is thrilled to inform you that the new 2GIG 345S encryption-capable sensor lineup is now available. This collection covers all the bases, with sensors for security, life safety, and environmental monitoring. The 345s sensors allow you to select encrypted or non-encrypted operation.
If you're building out a new 2GIG system or expanding an existing one, you are going to want to take a close look at what this family of products has to offer.
All of the 345S sensors communicate on the standard 345 MHz wireless frequency. That means they play nice with a wide range of 2GIG panels, including the 2GIG GC Touch (AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE versions), 2GIG GC2e, 2GIG GC3e, and Edge (AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE versions available). They will also work right alongside any existing 2GIG or Honeywell 5800 Series sensors you already have enrolled.
And here is a nice bonus: the sensors in this lineup come with an onboard encryption switch, so you can enable encrypted communication if your panel supports it. They come from the factory with encryption disabled, but enabling it is super easy.
With that said, let's check out the new 345S sensors!
2GIG DW100-345
345S Wireless Door/Window Contact Sensor
The 2GIG DW100-345 is a surface-mounted door and window contact that should be one of the first sensors on your shopping list. It mounts right onto the surface of a door or window frame and communicates wirelessly with your panel whenever the magnet separates from the sensor, letting the system know something has been opened.
One thing we really like about this one is the thoughtful design. It has a rounded outer shell with a square interior, which makes it easy for installers to line up correctly during mounting. It also ships with a spacer that lets it fit flush on a wider variety of door and window profiles. You get support for an external Normally Open or Normally Closed wired input as well, which gives you some extra flexibility. Battery life comes in at up to 8 years, and encryption is switchable on or off right on the board.
- Surface-mounted design with included spacer for versatile installation
- Up to 8-year battery life
- Supports external NO or NC wired input
- On/Off switchable encryption via onboard switch
2GIG DWR100-345
345S Recessed Door/Window Contact Sensor
If you want your security sensors to be completely out of sight, the 2GIG DWR100-345 is the way to go. This is a recessed contact, which means the sensor and its magnet get installed inside holes drilled into the door or window and its frame. Once everything is in place, the only way you would ever notice the sensor is by looking at the edge of the frame with the door or window already open.
This is a fantastic option for anyone who cares about keeping their home looking clean and uncluttered. It communicates on the 345 MHz frequency and will report to the panel whenever the door or window is opened. Battery life is rated at up to 5 years, and encryption can be toggled on or off using a switch right on the sensor.
- Completely hidden recessed design for a clean look
- Up to 5-year battery life
- On/Off switchable encryption via onboard switch
2GIG PIR100-345
345S Passive Infrared Motion Detector
The 2GIG PIR100-345 is a wall-mounted motion detector that uses passive infrared technology to pick up on changes in heat energy caused by movement. When set to its default High Sensitivity Mode, it covers an impressive area of 30 feet deep by 50 feet wide. That is more than enough for a typical living room, hallway, or open floor plan.
Pet owners will appreciate the built-in pet immunity feature. When enabled, the sensor will ignore the movement of animals weighing up to 85 pounds, which goes a long way toward cutting down on false alarms. The sensitivity setting is installer-adjustable, so you can dial it in for your specific environment. Battery life is rated at up to 7 years, and like most sensors in the 345S lineup, encryption can be toggled on via an onboard switch.
- 30 ft x 50 ft coverage area on high sensitivity
- Pet immunity for animals up to 85 lbs (installer-adjustable)
- Up to 7-year battery life
- Ships non-encrypted; encryption activated via onboard switch
2GIG GB100-345
345S Wireless Glass Break Detector
The 2GIG GB100-345 is a wireless glass break detector that can be mounted on either a ceiling or a wall. It uses a dual-stage detection method to tell the difference between actual breaking glass and other loud noises. First, it listens for the low-frequency "thud" of something striking the glass. Then it listens for the high-frequency "crash" of the glass actually shattering. Both sounds have to occur together for the sensor to trip, which does a great job of preventing false alarms.
It handles plate, tempered, laminated, and coated glass, and it covers a 15-foot radius from where it is mounted. There are user-adjustable sensitivity settings as well, which is helpful if the sensor is going in a noisier area. Battery life is up to 5 years, and encryption is switchable on the board.
- Dual-stage thud and crash detection to minimize false alarms
- Detects plate, tempered, laminated, and coated glass
- 15-foot detection radius
- User-adjustable sensitivity settings
- Up to 5-year battery life
- On/Off switchable encryption
2GIG SMKT100-345
345S Smoke, Heat, Freeze Detector
The 2GIG SMKT100-345 is a multi-purpose life safety sensor that handles smoke, heat, and freeze detection all in one device. It uses a photo-electric optical smoke detection chamber paired with advanced detection algorithms, and it meets the newer UL217 8th edition and UL268 7th edition standards. That means it is better at recognizing smoke from synthetic materials, which is important since so much of what is in our homes today is made from plastics and other synthetics.
Beyond smoke, the sensor also monitors for dangerous temperature conditions. It sends a Rate of Rise alert when the room temperature hits 104 degrees Fahrenheit and climbs 15 or more degrees within a single minute. It will also alert you to extreme high and low temperatures, making it useful as a freeze sensor for vacation homes or unoccupied spaces. The projected battery life is 10 years, and encryption is enabled by default on this one, though it can be switched off if needed.
- Meets UL217 8th edition and UL268 7th edition standards
- Photo-electric optical smoke detection chamber
- Rate of Rise heat alert (104°F + 15° rise in one minute)
- Extreme high and low temperature freeze alerts
- Projected 10-year battery life
- Default encrypted; can be switched to unencrypted mode
2GIG CO100-345
345S Carbon Monoxide Detector
Carbon monoxide is one of those dangers you absolutely cannot detect on your own, which is why the 2GIG CO100-345 is such an important addition to any system. This wireless CO detector uses an electrochemical sensor to monitor for carbon monoxide and communicates alarm, tamper, and battery condition messages back to your panel.
What really stands out here is the longevity. You get a 10-year sensor life and a 10-year battery life, so once this thing is installed, you can largely set it and forget it. It also has a built-in 85 decibel sounder to wake you up if CO is detected, even before the panel sounds its own alarm. The case is tamper protected and the sensor includes an end-of-life indicator so you know when it is time for a replacement. It is ETL listed for added peace of mind.
- 10-year sensor life and 10-year battery life
- Built-in 85 dB sounder for immediate local alerts
- Tamper protected case with end-of-life indicator
- Full monitoring of alarm, low battery, and tamper conditions
- ETL listed
2GIG FF100-345
345S Firefighter Smoke and CO Detector Listener
The 2GIG FF100-345 is a clever solution for a common problem. If you already have UL listed smoke or CO detectors in your home, you probably do not want to rip them out just to add monitoring to your security system. The FireFighter solves this by listening for the specific alarm cadence of your existing detectors and then relaying that signal wirelessly to your 2GIG panel.
The best part is that adding a FireFighter does not impact the UL listing or Fire Marshall approval of your existing detectors. It simply sits nearby and listens. It runs on a single CR123A long life lithium battery and is FCC, IC, and ETL listed for use in both the US and Canada. Encryption can be enabled via an onboard switch.
- Monitors existing UL listed smoke, CO, or combo detectors
- Does not affect UL or Fire Marshall approval of existing detectors
- Runs on one CR123A long life lithium battery
