GC2e Wireless Security System | Installation and Programming Guide

Introduction

About this Guide

This guide provides distributors, dealers, and authorized installation personnel with information about installing, testing,
and maintaining the 2GIG Go!Control system. 2GIGproducts are not sold directly to consumers and can only be obtained
from authorized distribution channels. For a list of authorized distributors, visit: http://www.nortekcontrol.com

About the 2GIG Go!Control System

Depending on the options set during the installation, the 2GIG Go!Control system has the ability to provide three forms
of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, The system consists of the 2GIG Control Panel, wireless sensors for perimeter
and interior burglary protection, and wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control
key fobs, wireless panic buttons, and keypads may also be installed.
The system monitors all protection sensor types (a.k.a., “zones”) and the system’s status. The Control Panel displays
monitoring information and controls the alarm siren. The system can also be setup to send alarm and status reports to a
Central Station and has the capability for two (2)‐way voice communications with the Remote Service Provider (RSP).
When a security system is installed, insurers may offer discounts on the homeowners’ or renters’ insurance policy.
Although the requirements and discount credits vary for each different insurer, users can generally save money as the level
of protection increases. It is recommended that you inform the end user to check with their insurance agent to determine
if the insurer has specific requirements and/or offers any discount(s).

Introduction

Optional Accessories
Optional modules, keypads, radios, and sensors that can be purchased to enhance the system include:
• 2GIG LTE (Cellular) Radio Module. An on‐board digital communicator reports alarms and trouble to a Central
Station receiver and a two (2)‐way voice communication with the Central Station. It also supports OTA updates
and remote control of the system using a Web‐enabled device through the Internet.
• 2GIG 900 MHz Transceiver Module. It sends and receives signals with wireless touch screen keypads and image
sensors. Touch screen keypads allow remote control of the system through the same graphic interface design as
the 2GIG Control Panel. Note that the 2GIG 900 MHz Transceiver Module, touch screen keypad, and image sensor
are only available in some regions.
• 2GIG Wireless Touch Screen Keypad. A wall‐mounted, full‐color, touch screen interface that provides many of
the same easy‐to‐use keypad functions available on the Control Panel. It is designed for indoor use only and gives
users the ability to control lights, thermostats, and door locks, as well as to view the status of every sensor zone.
When the 2GIG 900 MHz Transceiver Module is installed in the Control Panel, the system can be programmed to
communicate with up to four (4) Wireless Touch Screen Keypads.
• 2GIG Go!Bridge IP Communicator. The Go!Bridge provides Internet connectivity between the monitoring
service’s Central Station and the Go!Control® Panel (requires the 2GIG 900 MHz Transceiver Module and supports
automatic firmware updates, provides interactive security services, and increases supervision using signal‐
forwarding to the Central Station.
• 2GIG Super Switch Takeover Module. The takeover module communicates with the 2GIG Control Panel and is
designed to convert up to eight (8) pre‐wired zones to supervised wireless zones.
• 2GIG Hardwire Conversion Kit. This kit provides installers with an easy way to convert the zones of a pre‐wired
security alarm system to 2GIG wireless zones. The kit includes one (1) Super Switch Takeover Module (Wireless
Takeover of an Alarm System, US Patent No. 8,638,218). You can also install two (2) additional modules, which
provides installers with the capability to convert up to 24 pre‐wired security zones to wireless zones.

NFPA Standard 72
In the United States and Canada, smoke detectors must be installed in accordance with National Fire Protection Association
(NFPA) Standard 72: National Fire Alarm and Signaling Code, which reads as follows:
“2‐1.1.1 Smoke alarms shall be installed outside of each separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and
on each additional story of the family living unit including basements and excluding crawl spaces and unfinished attics. In new
construction, a smoke alarm shall be installed in each sleeping room.
2‐1.1.2 For family living units with one or more split levels (i.e., adjacent levels with less than one full story separation between
levels), a smoke alarm shall suffice for an adjacent lower level, including basements. (Exception: Where there is an intervening
door between one level and the adjacent lower level, a smoke alarm shall be installed on the lower level.)
• Ceiling mounted smoke alarms should be located in the center of the room or hall, or not less than 4 inches from any
wall. When the alarm is mounted on a wall, the top of the alarm should be 4 to 12 inches from the ceiling.
• Do not install smoke alarms where normal ambient temperatures are above 100°F (37.8°C), or below 40°F (4°C). Also, do
not locate alarm in front of air conditioners, heating registers, or other locations where normal air circulation will keep
smoke from entering the detector.
A‐2.5.2.1 Smoke Detection ‐ Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable? The required number of smoke alarms might not provide
reliable early warning protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the required smoke alarms.
For this reason, it is recommended that the residential user consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for
increased protection. The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace room, utility room, and
hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished),

the Central Station. This allows pin‐point information about any sensor in the system.
The sensor type determines how and when the Control Panel responds to signals from the sensor. Some sensors are armed all
the time, others are armed only in certain arming levels, some cause Central Station Reports anytime they are activated. The
sensor’s type, along with other programming options, determine this.

Sensor Type (Zone) Descriptions

This is the setting for unused sensor numbers that do not have a sensor programmed into them. No system action
(00) Unused occurs at any time from this sensor type.
This sensor type is reserved for doors that are used for exit and entry of the protected premises. When the system is
armed in the Stay or Away mode, the exit delay timer starts. There is an exit delay regardless of whether the system is
armed in Stay or Away mode. When the exit delay timer expires, the system is fully armed.
(01) Exit/Entry 1 With the system fully armed, when this type of sensor is triggered, the Entry Delay 1 timer starts. The system must be
disarmed before the Entry Delay 1 timer expires, or an alarm will occur.
If the entry delay timer is turned OFF during arming, the exit/entry delay sensors will act as non-delayed instant
sensors at the end of exit delay.
(02) Exit/Entry 2 This sensor type operates the same as the Exit/Entry 1 sensor type except it starts the Entry Delay 2 timer.
This provides a method of having a longer entry delay on certain openings, such as a garage door, to provide the end
user more time to disarm the system.
(03) Perimeter This sensor type is for perimeter doors and windows that will not be used to enter or exit the protected premises while
the system is armed. An instant alarm will occur when this type of sensor is triggered with the system armed in either
the Stay or Away mode.
This sensor type is for interior sensors such as motion detector, interior doors, and other sensors that detect human
presence inside the protected premises. This type of sensor is called a “follower” due to its action when the system
(04) Interior Follower is armed in the Away mode. After the exit delay expires and the system is armed, if an interior follower sensor is
triggered, an instant alarm will occur. If an exit/entry delay sensor is triggered first, the interior follower sensor will
also be delayed.
Interior follower sensors are always bypassed and not active when the system is armed in Stay mode. This allows the
premises to be occupied while still protecting the perimeter.
(05) Day Zone This sensor type is the same as a perimeter zone, except when the system is disarmed, a violation displays a trouble
alert on the Console’s display. Common uses for this sensor type are protection of sensitive areas that require
notification and possibly a Central Station trouble report, but not an alarm when the system is disarmed.
This sensor type is active independent of the system arming status. The code for silent panic is sent to the Central
(06) 24-Hour Silent Alarm Station, but for safety, there are no visual or audible indications locally that this sensor type has been triggered.
This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed to this type will trigger a local alarm and

(10) Interior with Delay start the Entry Delay 1 timer. If the system is armed in Away mode with no Entry Delay (armed instant), this sensor type
will trigger an instant alarm.
If the system is armed in Stay mode (or Stay mode with no Entry Delay), this sensor type will be bypassed.
(14) 24-Hour Carbon This sensor type is continuously armed 24-hours a day. A sensor programmed to this type will trigger the local alarm
Monoxide † pulse sounder and the bell output regardless of the mode the system is in. Typical use would be for wireless carbon

other fire sensor (verified sensor type or not) violates within two minutes, both sensors will cause a fire alarm.

Sensor Types (Zones)

Sensor Type (Zone) Description

This sensor type is a special zone that can be monitored for activity or inactivity by the Central Station. It does not affect
(23) No Response Type security system status.
This sensor type is for silent triggering the burglary alarm with perimeter doors and windows that will not be used to enter
or exit the protected premises while the system is armed. The Control Panel’s sounder and the bell output will not activate.
(24) Silent Burglary
An instant silent alarm will occur when this type of sensor is triggered with the system armed in either the Stay or Away
mode.
This zone type is selected by the installer when pairing the panel with peripheral devices that can utilize localized
troubles (such as RF jam, low battery, tamper, or AC loss detected by the peripheral device). This sensor is continuously
(32) Remote Device* active and will cause a trouble at the panel for all problem conditions. When the panel is in an armed state, this
sensor type will cause an alarm for TAMPER and RF JAM. All trouble conditions will be sent to the monitoring station if
reporting is enabled with the exception of AC LOSS. This will only be displayed at the panel.
† Indicates Sensor types that are not allowed for hardwired loops.
* Sensor Type Reporting is only supported on Alarm.com.

Regulatory Information

Wireless Product Notice

Radio controls provide a reliable communications link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling; however,
there are some limitations which must be observed.
• For U.S. installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As
such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range.
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that
occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance.
• Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and
these facts should be communicated to the end users.

FCC Notice
This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy and if not installed and used properly, that is, in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio and television reception. It has been type

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility designated by the

telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines
and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important
in rural areas.
