SETUP AND INSTALLATION

The 2GIG EDGE Security & Smart Home System must be installed by a qualified 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 .
Understanding these concepts will help when operating the system:

24-Hour Alarm Buttons

An installer can configure the 2GIG EDGE 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 2GIG
EDGE 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, pg . 33 .

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 the system is armed, the system automatically clears the history . The
history can also be cleared manually .
See Clear the Alarm History, pg . 32 .

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, pg . 18 .

Security Codes

The system supports a maximum of 100 unique security codes (4 digit or 6 digit) . 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, pg . 47 .

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 a 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, pg . 36 .

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 when trouble is detected . Examples of alert
conditions include AC power loss at the 2GIG EDGE Panel, low battery conditions at a sensor and more . See Responding
to Trouble Alerts, pg. 17. The installer can configure 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 .
