Connect the Hardwire Loops

The 2GIG EDGE Panel supports up to two (2) wired zones. Typically, these zones are used for hardwired Door/Window contact sensors. You first
install the contact sensors and then route the loop wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel. This type of connection is commonly referred to as hardwire
loops.
IMPORTANT: The 2GIG EDGE Panel's hardwire loops are designed to support contact sensors such as magnetic reed switches or
pressure pads. They are not designed for hardwire smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, motion detectors, or glass break
detectors.
TIP: If you are planning to upgrade the existing wired security system at the home or business to a wireless system or if you have a
need to retrofit any pre-wired sensors in newer construction for wireless, you can purchase the 2GIG Hardwire Conversion Kit ( 2GIG-
TAKE-KIT1) .

To install the hardwire loop wiring for the contact sensors:

1 . Install the wired contact sensors.
2 . Route the contact sensor's loop wire(s) through the back of the 2GIG EDGE Panel's wiring cutout.
3 . Use the diagram below as a guide for connecting the sensor's loop wires to the 2GIG EDGE Panel terminal block.
»
Normally Closed (N/C): Used for Normally Closed (N/C) circuits. This means the circuit on the contact switch is closed when the
magnets are aligned on the door/window contact. When armed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel activates an alarm signal when it detects that the
door or window is no longer in the normally closed state.
»
Normally Open (N/O): Used for Normally Open (N/O) circuits. This means the circuit on the contact switch is open when the magnets
are aligned on the door/window contact. When armed, the 2GIG EDGE Panel activates an alarm signal when it detects that the door or
window is no longer in the normally open state.
»
End-of-Line Resistor (EOLR): Used to supervise the sensor for open or short circuit conditions with an End- of-Line Resistor
(EOLR). If EOLR supervision is required, you must install a 2.2 kΩ resistor (not supplied). End of Line Resistors must be installed at the
location in the loop farthest away from the panel. This feature allow for the use of an EOL resistor for existing zones.
NOTE: For compliance with UL 38: Manual Signaling Boxes for Fire Alarm Systems, stranded conductors clamped under wire binding
screws or similar parts shall have the individual strands soldered together or shall be equivalently arranged.

TIP: After the installation is complete, you must program the wired zone into the 2GIG EDGE Panel. During programming, you must
define the normal state of the circuit for each wired zone. See "Program a Wired Zone."

Connect the Power Wires

There are two ways to connect the wires for the power supply to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:
1 . Terminal Block: Securely fasten a 2-conductor power wire (not supplied) to the appropriate DC IN+/DC IN– screw positions on the
2GIG EDGE Panel's terminal block.
2 . Barrel Connector: A plug-in power supply with a barrel connector can be plugged into the DC power adapter's barrel jack on the
2GIG EDGE Panel 14VDC Power input. Uses 3.5mm Barrel connector for input power as an alternate to DC IN+/DC IN– Terminal Block.
IMPORTANT: When selecting a wall outlet, never connect the plug-in power supply to a switch-controlled outlet.
Terminal Block – Maximum Wire Gauge and Length
The most common way to connect the AC power supply for the 2GIG EDGE Panel is to use the system's terminal block. This requires you securely
fasten 2- conductor power wire (not supplied) to the appropriate DC IN+/DC IN– screw terminals.

Connecting the power supply to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:

1 . Locate an unswitched wall outlet for the plug-in power supply. Do NOT connect the power supply to the outlet at this time.
2 . Route 2-conductor power wire from the plug-in
power supply through the wiring cutout on the
2GIG EDGE Panel's backplate. See "Connect the
Power Wires" above.
WARNING!! The proper wiring sequence for
the DC power supply terminal block is always
ground to ground, positive to positive, and
negative to negative. However, grounding the
2GIG EDGE Panel is NOT required for proper
operations.
3 . Insert the positive wire into the DC IN+ terminal
position. Then tighten the terminal block's contact
screw.
IMPORTANT: Do not over-tighten the terminal
block's contact screws.
4 . Insert the negative wire into the DC IN– terminal
position. Then tighten the terminal block's contact
screw.
WARNING!! Do NOT plug the power supply
into the outlet at this time. Always complete all
system wiring and then secure the backplate to
the 2GIG EDGE Panel before connecting its power
supply to the outlet.
