Additional Accessories
The installer typically sets up the system to communicate with a variety of wired and/or wireless sensors. Some sensors
are visible on the wall or ceiling. For example, Wireless Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarms and Wireless Carbon Monoxide
Detectors. Others may be hidden in door jambs. For example, Recessed Door/Window Contacts. Sensors might also be
installed in additional locations. For example, a Glass Break Detector and a Passive Infrared Motion Detector.
NOTE: A variety of 2GIG and GoControl branded devices are compatible with the GC3e Security & Automation
System. Sensors manufactured by other companies may also be compatible with the system. For information, visit

Setup and Installation
The GC3e Security & Automation System must be installed by a qualifi ed technician who is either employed by, or
under contract with, a 2GIG alarm dealer. The alarm must always be installed in accordance with your country’s national
electrical installation regulations and/or all applicable codes in the local jurisdiction.
Operational Concepts
Understanding these concepts will help you operate the system:
24-Hour Alarm Buttons
An installer can confi gure the GC3e Panel to show or hide three 24-hour alarm buttons on the touchscreen: Panic, Fire,
and Emergency. When the buttons are enabled and visible, users can manually trigger an alarm from the GC3e Panel.
Alarms can also be activated from a wireless keypad (if installed), from wireless sensors, or from portable devices (for
example, a Panic Button Remote). See “Emergency Features.”
