Description

The 2GIG FT6-345 represents one of the best flood and high/low temperature detectors on the market today. It operates at 345 MHz, and it will work with any GC2, GC3 or Honeywell Lyric System. One of the best aspects the flood sensor operates without a probe, making it super easy to set up.

As a wireless sensor, the 2GIG FT6-345 operates using three different Loop Numbers. Loop 1 is for freeze detection, Loop 2 is for high temp detection, and Loop 3 is for water detection. Loop 4 is not used with the sensor. In order to perform all three functions, the sensor must be enrolled with the system three times in three separate zones. Each zone will have its own settings and Loop Number.

For flood detection, the 2GIG FT6-345 should be placed in a location where it is most likely to detect water in the event of a leak. Some good spots include underneath the sink, near water heaters, around toilets and by bathtubs or showers. The sensor has metal contacts on its top and bottom. Both sets of contacts can alert the sensor to a leak. Once the contact is exposed to water, the sensor will activate.

The freeze detector for the 2GIG FT6-345 activates upon sensing a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for three continuous minutes. This is great for alerting a security system before the pipes in the building begin to freeze. The sensor will clear once a temperature of higher than 41 degrees is detected for three straight minutes.

The heat sensor in the 2GIG FT6-345 operates very similarly to the freeze sensor. But in this case, the sensor will activate upon sensing a temperature of 95 degrees or higher for three straight minutes. The fault will clear once the temperature falls below 95 degrees for three continuous minutes. This can be very useful for places like wine cellars that require the temperature to remain low.

The 2GIG FT6-345 includes the detector, a piece of double-sided foam tape for mounting, and a lithium CR123A battery for power. The sensor has an average battery life of five years. At that point, the battery can be easily replaced by the end user.

Note: A Honeywell Lyric System might require a firmware update to support the sensor.

Excellent Flood and Temperature Sensor

We strongly recommend the 2GIG FT6-345 as a flood sensor and temperature sensor. Our technicians have found that the sensor works reliably in all aspects. It can be easily enrolled with a compatible system, and it offers great versatility as a sensor. The fact that it can be used as a flood sensor without a probe makes it extremely easy to set up. That is why we give this product a 5-Star rating.

In order to achieve full functionality for the 2GIG FT6-345, you will need to program the sensor to three (3) separate zones on the system. Each zone will use a different Loop Number depending on the function for that zone. Loop 1 is for freeze detection. Loop 2 is for high temperature detection. Loop 3 is for flood detection. Please note that Loop 4 is not used with the sensor. Also note that high temperature detection should not be confused with heat detection for detecting fires.

To use the device as a flood sensor, you should have it placed in a location where a water leak is most likely to occur. This includes underneath a sink, near a water heater, next to a toilet, or by a bathtub or shower. With metal contacts on both the top and bottom, the sensor will respond to a water leak no matter how it is placed. We have tested this sensor for water detection, and we noted that it responds quickly and reliably to any flooding events.

As for temperature detection, the sensor also works quite reliability. It functions in a manner that will allow it to quickly respond to unusual temperatures, while also preventing any false alarms. In order to activate for low temperature (freeze) detection, the sensor must be exposed to a temperature of 41 degrees Fahrenheit or lower for three (3) consecutive minutes. Meanwhile, high temperature detection requires the sensor to be exposed to a temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit or higher for three (3) consecutive minutes.

We think the 2GIG FT6-345 is a great sensor for any Resideo Lyric Alarm System (Firmware MR3 or higher required), 2GIG GC2, 2GIG GC3, 2GIG GC2e, 2GIG GC3e, or Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus with 345 MHz daughtercard. For that reason, we give it 5-Stars.

It is!
Is the 2GIG FT6-345 compatible with my Qolsys IQ Panel 2+ (2GIG & Honeywell 345MHz)
Awesome :)
Thanks. I was able to have the panel learn the sensor by pouring water over the contacts.
Hi Dennis, Pulling the battery before would not cause the sensor not to enroll. This is something your monitoring company can look into and possibly program it for you. If monitored with us please email us at support@alarmgrid.com.
I pulled the battery tab before I was ready to pair and now I can't get my panel to learn the sensor. I put water on it, put it in the fridge, entered the number manually, nothing works. Any suggestions?
