System Overview; Features - 2gig Technologies GC2 User Manual

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This system provides three (3) forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending
on the options set by your installer. The system consists of the Control Panel with a color
touch screen, wireless sensors that provide 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 have been provided or installed.
The system monitors all protection "zones" and the system's status. The Control Panel displays
monitoring information and controls the alarm siren. Your system may also have been setup
to send alarm and status reports to a Central Station and may have the capability for 2‐way
voice communications with the alarm monitoring operator.

FEATURES

Following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in your system. Ask
your installer which options are available to you and check the boxes that apply.
• Stay and Away arming modes: Stay mode arms the system perimeter only and is used
typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away mode arms the system perimeter
and interior; it is used when the premises are unoccupied.
• 60 user‐unique 4‐digit codes to operate the system: The system supports one (1) master
user code that can assign and maintain the other user codes.
• One of the 60 user codes functions as a duress code. Controlling the system with this code
gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it sends a silent duress report to the
Central Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help.
• Voice announcements from the Control Panel: The system has a vocabulary of descriptive
words that can be assigned to sensors so each has a unique announcement such as "front
door" or "bedroom window" if desired.
• Home automation with the built‐in Z‐Wave controller for remote control of Z‐Wave
enabled home appliances (optional feature).
• Alarm history with system event log: Each alarm and system alert is logged into the
system's memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at the Control Panel or
remotely by the Central Station.
• Real time clock and calendar shows on the system's display and is used to time stamp
items in the event log.
 2‐way voice communication: After an alarm, the system can automatically connect with a
Central Station operator so they can converse with people in the premises.
 Remote control of the system over the telephone.
 Remote control of the system using a Web‐enabled device through the Internet.
 Three optional 24‐hour emergency functions: Panic, Fire, and Emergency. These functions
can be activated by buttons on the Control Panel, using wireless sensors, from the
wireless keypad, or from portable pendant devices (such as the panic button remote).
1. Requires the optional POTS module, which is only available in the United States and
Canada.
2. Requires the optional Cellular Radio Module.
