2GIG 345MHz Sensors Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Change the Partition Assignment On a GC3 or GC3e Zone?
To switch a sensor to a different GC3 or GC3e Smart Area Partition, you should clear its zone and reprogram from scratch. Learn how to switch a sensor to a different partition.
How Does RF Supervision Loss Work On a 2GIG System?
All 2GIG Panels must receive RF check-in signals every 140 minutes, or else RF supervision loss occurs. This applies to a GC2, GC2e, GC3, and GC3e. Learn about RF supervision loss.
What are Sensor Types on a 2GIG GC3?
When programming a sensor on a 2GIG GC3, the Sensor Type setting determines how the system responds when the sensor is activated. Learn about the sensor types on the GC3.
Can 2GIG Sensors Work w/ a Lyric Alarm System?
Any Honeywell Lyric running firmware version MR3 or higher can support 2GIG Sensors. The system can also use 5800 Series Sensors and SiX Series Sensors. Learn about the Lyric.
What is the Range on a 2GIG Security System?
For 2GIG 345 MHz Sensors, the wireless signal range is roughly 350 feet in open air. The range may vary between sensors. Find out the signal range of a 2GIG Alarm System.
Which Sensors are Compatible with the Lyric Alarm System?
The Lyric Security System will support encrypted Honeywell SiX Series Sensors that operate at 2.4 GHz. It will also support sensors that operate at 345 MHz. This includes any Honeywell 5800 Series Sensor and any 2GIG Sensor. Find out which sensors are compatible with the Lyric Controller.
Will 2GIG Sensors Work On a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?
The standard wireless receiver for the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 is designed to work with 319.5 MHz sensors. Since the 2GIG Sensors operate at 345 MHz, they will not normally work with the IQ Panel 2. There are a few possible workarounds for this. Learn which sensors can be used with an IQ Panel 2.
How Do I Enroll a Z-Wave Lock to my Security System?
To enroll a Z-Wave lock into your security system, you will start by clearing the Z-Wave lock from the network. Next, you will put your panel into its Z-Wave inclusion mode. Then, you will activate the inclusion function on the lock itself. To finish, you will install the Z-Wave lock into your door.
How Do I Put the 2GIG GC3 Into Learn Mode?
The 2GIG GC3 is put into learn mode through system configuration. Learn mode is used to auto-enroll wireless sensors with the alarm system. You must know the Installer Code for the GC3 System in order to access this mode. Learn more about using a 2GIG GC3 Security System and enrolling sensors.
How Do I Put the 2GIG GC2 Into Learn Mode?
Learn mode for the 2GIG GC2 is accessed through the system configurations menu. This mode is used to auto-enroll wireless sensors with the GC2 panel. By activating a sensor while the panel is in this mode, it can be learned-in automatically. Discover more about learn mode for a 2GIG GC2.
