Alarm
When the system detects an alarm condition, it immediately sounds an audible alarm that continues for a preset amount
of time. If external alarm sounders or Z-Wave sirens have been installed, those devices also sound an audible alarm.
During an alarm (and also after a user cancels or clears the alarm), the Alarm History reveals a chronological list of the
alarms that have occurred by zone. The next time you arm the system, the system automatically clears the history. You
can also manually clear the history.
See “Clear the Alarm History.”
Burglary Protection
Burglary protection is provided by a combination of perimeter and interior sensors installed on doors, windows, and other
areas of a dwelling. See “Burglary Protection.”
Security Codes
The system supports a maximum of 100 unique security codes. There are four types of security codes supported by the
system: (1) Master User, (2) User, (3) Duress, and (4) the Installer Code, which is reserved for use by 2GIG alarm dealers
and installer. See “Users.”
Fire and Gas Protection
Fire and gas protection are provided by a combination of Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detectors and Wireless Smoke/
Heat/Freeze Alarms that protect your dwelling 24 hours-a-day. When an alarm condition is detected, the system sounds
an alarm and transmits a report to the Central Station so operators can dispatch the appropriate emergency services. See
“Fire & Carbon Monoxide Protection.”
Sensor Types
When programming the sensor into the system, the installer sets the sensor type for each device. This determines how
and when the system will react when a sensor detects an alarm condition. Fire protection sensors protect the dwelling
24-hours a day, whereas burglary protection sensors only protect the premises when the system is armed.
Trouble Alerts
The system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and alerts you when trouble is detected. Examples of alert
conditions include
AC power loss at the GC3e Panel, low battery conditions at a sensor, and more. See “Responding to Trouble Alerts.” The
installer can confi gure the system to transmit a variety of trouble alerts to the Central Station.
Wired and Wireless Sensors
Your system can be installed with wired sensors, wireless sensors, or a combination of both. Some sensors are visible on
the wall or ceiling (for example, Wireless Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarms and Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detectors), while
others may be hidden in doorjambs (for example, Recessed Door Contacts). Sensors can also be mounted in different
locations (for example, Glass Break Detectors and Passive Infrared Motion Detectors).
Zones
The system’s wired and/or wireless sensors that have been programmed by the installer are also sometimes referred
to as zones. Examples of zones that are typically set up for a home installation include Front Door, Sliding Glass Door,
Living Room Bay Window, and so on.
