  • Page 4: Introduction

    Select a Mounting Location Decide where to position the 2GIG Vario system control panel. If possible, choose a central location in order to minimize wiring to expanders and accessories. Before the installation, prepare map out the physical locations of all expanders and accessories. This will determine which types of expanders are required at each location.
  • Page 5 If connecting remote power supplies, DO NOT connect the red wire (+12V) between the power supply unit and the 2GIG Vario system. For long cable runs, use the correct cable, as listed in "Appendix C: Wiring" in the 2GIG Vario System Installation & Programming Guide. 1. Set BUS Accessory ID Numbers For most devices, a DIP switch number must be set to identify its ID category number.
  • Page 6 It is recommended that you use an end-of-line resistor at the far end of each hardwired zone (16 x 2.2K resistors are supplied). In the 2GIG Vario system, you have the ability to separately define the end-of-line resistance of the zones on the main unit and of the wired the wired zones for each eight-unit expander block (Quick Keys ②...

Wire Auxiliary Devices Use the Auxiliary Power AUX (+) COM (–) terminals to power PIRs, glass-break detectors (4-wire types), smoke detectors, audio switches, photoelectric systems and/or any device that requires a 12VDC power supply.

  • Page 8: Connecting Bus Detectors

    Connecting BUS Detectors Up to 23 addressable BUS detectors can be assigned to the 2GIG Vario system. BUS detectors can be wired to the main BUS or to a BUS zone expander. For full installation instructions, refer to the instructions supplied with each BUS detector.
  • Page 9 For maximum operation stability, it is best NOT to exceed a total of 300 meters (1000 feet) of wiring from the BUS zone expander to the 2GIG Vario system panel, and 300 meters (1000 feet) of wiring from the BUS zone expander to the last BUS detector.

    3. Set tamper switches SW1 3, 4 to bypass unused tampers according to the relevant enclosure to prevent tamper alarm. 4. Connect power to the assembled mounted unit. The 2GIG Vario system panel and keypad will initialize for several minutets. 5. Press 6.

  • Page 12: Zone Attributes

    Zone Attributes The 2GIG Vario system supports up to 50 zones. Each zone can be defined to be a wired zone, a wireless zone, or a BUS zone. The attributes for each zone vary according to the zone's type (wired, wireless, or BUS zone).

    This noise could be from neighboring devices of another system or from other nearby devices operating on the same frequency. These are "unwanted" signals that the 2GIG Vario system wireless expander must be taught not to listed to. The threshold (set above) is the absolute minimum signal strength needed to be heard from a wireless device in order for the receiver to effectively hear it.

  • Page 14: General Settings

    General Settings Several system-wide parameters determine how the 2GIG Vario system works. These parameters are set with default values that apply for most installations. If you want to modify the default settings, go through the menus to program any other system parameter settings.

    Operation Test the System Before leaving the site, it is important to fully test the system. The 2GIG Vario system has several testing tools to ensure that the system and its wireless communication features will operate correctly. From the installer menu, select ② (Testing) and compete the following tests: Main Unit noise level, buzzer, speaker, and battery Perform a communication and battery test for each device.
