PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

Choose the Location for the Panel's Backplate

Before installing the system, the first step is to create an installation plan for the premises. Next, determine the mounting location for all system
components, including the 2GIG EDGE Panel and all sensors. If the system includes wired sensors, you will need to connect the wiring to the
panel's terminal block.

Recommended Tools and Equipment

To install the system, these tools and equipment are recommended:
»
2-Conductor Power Wire (if connecting the panel's power supply to the system's terminal block)
»
Drywall Saw (or Equivalent)
»
Screwdrivers
»
Staple Gun
»
Wire Stripper

Choose the Wall Location

When choosing a location for mounting the 2GIG EDGE Panel, work with the end user to determine the best location. See also "Create the
Installation Plan" above. For best results, keep the following items in mind:
»
Always choose an indoor location that is protected from temperature extremes.
»
Always choose a location that is above ground and centrally located.
»
Always choose a location where you can connect the 2GIG EDGE Panel to an unswitched outlet. Do NOT connect the 2GIG EDGE Panel to
a switch-controlled outlet.
»
Always choose a location above ground level. Do NOT install the 2GIG EDGE Panel below ground level, as this can impair wireless range.
»
Avoid choosing a location that can be easily viewed from doors or windows.
»
Avoid choosing a location that is within reach of small children.
»
Avoid choosing a location in direct sunlight.
NOTE: If mounting the 2GIG EDGE Panel on a wall is not an option, the 2GIG Desktop Kit can be purchased for use with the 2GIG EDGE
Security & Smart Home System. This is an accessory that lets one mount the 2GIG EDGE Panel on a stand that can be placed on a flat
surface, such as desk or counter. Use of this option may affect compliance with state or regional codes.
