Control Panel Wiring
The third-hand hanging strap allows you to hang the
Control Panel on the mounng plate during installaon.
1. Hang the Control Panel on the mounng plate by the
third-hand hanger strap.
2. Connect the hardwire loop and external sounder to
the Control Panel’s terminal block.

Backup Battery Connection and Power
Supply Wiring
The backup baery connects to the Control Panel’s circuit board
with a two (2)-pin header assembly.
The power supply features a two (2)-posion terminal block
for connecng the power supply to the Control Panel power
terminals (connecon wire not included).
1. Locate an unswitched wall outlet for the plug-in power
supply.
WARNING: Never connect the power supply to switch-
controlled outlet.
2. Route two (2)-conductor wire from the power supply
locaon to the Control Panel mounng plate. For wire size
and maximum length, see “Wired Size and Length”, below.
3. Being careful to observe polarity, connect the wire to the
power supply’s DC+ and DC- terminals. Do NOT plug the
power supply into an outlet at this me.
4. Being careful to observe polarity, connect the wire to the
Control Panel input terminals 14VDC (+) Terminal 1 and
14VDC (-) Terminal 2.
NOTE: Grounding of the Control Panel is NOT required for proper
operaon.
5. Plug the backup baery pack’s connector into the connector
on the Control Panel’s circuit board. The Control Panel does
not recognize that the baery is connected unl AC power
is connected to the power supply.
NOTE: The standard backup baery that is included with all
2GIG Control Panels does not support UL 985 installaons.
To comply with the secondary supply requirement in UL
985: Household Fire Warning System Units, install the 2GIG
Console Baery Pack (This is a high-capacity 2600mAh Ni-MH
replacement baery pack).
Wire Size and Length
To ensure proper operaon, do NOT exceed the following
maximum length for the wire size installed:
Terminal Block Wiring Diagram
Figure 12 Terminal Block Wiring Diagram
TIP: To ensure that the appropriate wire size and length is
installed, measure the voltage between the power connecon
terminals at the back of the Control Panel. The voltage measured
must not fall below 11 volts DC or the Control Panel may display
nuisance “AC Power Loss” messages and send AC Loss Reports
to the Central Staon. See “Q52: AC Loss Reports to CS (0‐1)” on
page 53.
