INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
The 2GIG Hardwire Conversion Kit (2GIG‐TAKE‐KIT1) provides installers
with an easy method for taking over a pre‐wired security alarm system
and converting the existing hardwired zones to wireless zones.
To ensure optimal performance with the 2GIG Control Panel, the kit
provides an ABS Plastic enclosure (UL 94: V‐0) to protect the kit's
components. The enclosure houses up to three (3) Super Switch
Takeover Modules (2GIG‐TAKE‐345) and the Power Supply Board with
backup battery charging circuit. It also includes a space for placing a
suitable backup battery.
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 permits you to convert up to 24
pre‐wired security zones to wireless zones (each module converts eight
(8) zones).
The Super Switch cannot be used to monitor Carbon

Mounting the Enclosure to the Wall
When completing the steps below, refer to Figure 2 "Mounting the
Enclosure to the Wall" on page 2.
To mount the enclosure to the wall:
Choose a location within RF range of the Control Panel. Before you
1
begin, ensure the mounting location is free of electrical wires and
plumbing systems before drilling into the wall.
Temporarily remove the enclosure door by lifting the cover up and
2
pushing it back until the door's hinge pins disengage.
Using the four (4) keyhole slots as a template, mark the location of
3
the four (4) mounting holes at the top of the keyhole slots. Ensure
that the enclosure will be level.
4
Remove the enclosure from the wall and drill 3/16" starter holes for
the screws at the four (4) marked locations.
5
Push each of the wall anchors into the drilled holes, ensuring the
wall anchor heads are flush with the wall.
Screw two (2) of the Phillips head screws into the bottom wall
6
anchors, leaving the heads exposed.
Do not screw these in all the way.
Pull the cord for the Grounded Plug‐in Transformer through one of
7
the access holes or knockout in the back of the enclosure.
8
Pull the wires for all of the wired sensors through the enclosure's
access holes and/or knockout as needed.
9
With the enclosure in place, insert the two (2) screw heads into the
top wall anchors.
Ensure the screw heads are at the upper end of the keyhole slots.
Then tighten both screws.
Lift the enclosure and insert the screw heads into the lower keyhole
10
slots.
Slide the enclosure downwards so the screw heads are at the upper
11
end of the keyhole slots.
Ensure that the enclosure is level.
12
13
Tighten the screws.
