MOUNT THE PANEL

Mount the Backplate to a Wall

Before mounting the 2GIG EDGE Panel in its permanent location, use the guidelines below to choose
the placement. Also ensure you have the recommended tools and equipment. See Recommended
Tools and Equipment, page 10.
1 . Remove the screw from the bottom of the panel. A locking mechanism keeps it from being
removed from the panel.
2 . Insert your fingers into the oval shaped hole, then pull carefully to separate the backplate
from the panel.
3 . Position the backplate at the desired location on the wall using the attached Level to align
the panel.
4 . Insert a pencil into the placement feature on the top of the panel and make a mark hole
locations as needed.
5 . Cut a slot in the dry wall for the AC power cord and other electrical wiring (if needed).
6 . Route the barrel connector for the power supply or 2-conductor wire (if connecting power to
the panel's terminal block) through the wiring cutout.
7 . If you are installing any additional wiring, route those wires through the cutout.
WARNING!! To avoid serious injury or death while wiring the terminal block connections,
do NOT connect the panel's power supply to a power source. Always ensure that you
disconnect the backup battery before servicing the panel's internal components.

Wall Tamper
8 . Attach the backplate to the wall using the four (4) wall anchors and screws
(supplied).
NOTE: The Wall Anchor is the wall tamper and MUST be anchored to work.
9 . If desired, attach the panel's third-hand hanging strap to the hook at the
bottom of the backplate in preparation for wire connection.

Connect an External Alarm Sounder

The terminal block inside the 2GIG EDGE Panel includes two (2) solid-state bell terminals (BELL+/BELL-) for an external alarm sounder. An external
alarm sounder is typically housed outside of a property, in a location that will attract the most attention, in order to scare unwanted intruders
away with an audible alarm. When choosing a location for the sounder, ensure it is protected from harsh weather (either housed indoors or in a
weatherproof box). It should also be mounted in a location where the siren can be easily heard by occupants.
»
If you are installing or replacing a new external sounder: First, install or replace the external sounder in the desired
location. Once in place, route the wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel's terminal block.
»
If an external sounder is already installed: First, disconnect power to the external sounder. Ensure Panel is disconnected from
power and battery, then route the sounder's existing wiring to the 2GIG EDGE Panel's terminal block.
IMPORTANT: The 2GIG EDGE Panel is designed to connect to Solid-State Relay sounders only. To avoid damage to the output, do NOT
connect an Electromechanical Relay bell to the BELL+ or BELL- position on the 2GIG EDGE Panel's terminal block. In addition, bell output
is only provided when the 2GIG EDGE Panel's power supply is connected to an AC power source.

To connect an external alarm sounder to the 2GIG EDGE Panel:

1 . Install the sounder in a secure, weatherproof location where it can be easily heard.
2 . Disconnect the sounder from its power source.
3 . Ensure the 2GIG EDGE Panel is disconnected from both the
AC power source and the backup battery.
4 . Route the wiring from the sounder through the back of the
2GIG EDGE Panel's wiring cutout.
5 . Connect the sounder's wires to the BELL+ and BELL-
positions on the 2GIG EDGE Panel's terminal block.
6 . Connect the Edge battery and AC power source.
NOTE: For sounders with low current consumption, low
current relays, or in the event that the Piezo Sounder
produces a humming sound or noise, install an 820Ω
resistor in parallel with the sounder.
Wiring Diagram—Bell Output
TIP: After the installation is complete, navigate to the
Panel Programming menu to configure siren supervision.
This lets the system notify both the user and the Central
Station if the wire between the external alarm sounder
and 2GIG EDGE Panel is cut. By default, this setting is
turned OFF. See "Q212: Siren supervision time."

Optional Desktop Kit

NOTE: If necessary, the Panel can be mounted on a stand that can be placed on a flat surface, such as desk or counter using the
2GIG Desktop Kit. Keep in mind that this option may affect compliance with state or regional codes. For 2GIG Desktop Kit installation
instructions, refer to the 2GIG EDGE Installation Manual.
Optional 2GIG Desktop Kit—Rear View
The bell output can be programmed for supervision
Piezo/Siren
to detect if the wire to the bell is cut.
For sounders with low current consumption or if
the Piezo siren on the sounder produces a hum
or noise, install an 820 resistor in parallel with
the sounder.
