Good Morning,

I looked at this Video from Previous Thread,
But it doesn’t match my 2GIG System,
Could you please assist with one for my System?

Thank You,
Best Regards.

Do you have gc2 or gc3

I have a 2GIG GC2 panel

Let me see if I can find a video that would walk u through it

This should help u

Hey there, just as a follow up, I’ll post the sensor settings you would typically use.

In the installer toolbox, enter system configuration and scroll to the first unused sensor zone:

RF Sensor Type: (23) No Response Type OR if you want it to generate alarms (2) Entry Exit
RF Equipment Type: (1) contact
RF Sensor Equipment Code: (1062) 2GIG Tilt
RF Sensor Serial Number: Shift - Learn - Trip/Tamper Sensor
RF Sensor Equipment Age: New
RF Sensor Loop Number: 1
RF Sensor Dialer Delay: Disabled
RF Sensor Voice Descriptor: As desired
RF Sensor Reports: Enabled
RF Sensor Supervised: Enabled
RF Sensor Chime: As desired, can be changed out of programming

Great,
Thank You, This Helps a Lot.

Hello,
Thank you again for all your Help. I was able to use both comments to set up the Sensor.
This Might have caused others issues however…
It appears when the system is ARMED AWAY, the Tilt Sensor Triggers a BURGLAR Alarm between the time the garage gate is rolled up and I can pull into the House close it and head over to the Panel to DISARM the systems…
Is there a Suggestion on how I could prevent this from occuring?

Thank You,
Best Regards.

Are you looking for the sensor to generate an alarm if opened while the system is armed or are you just looking to determine the status of the door?

11

I would prefer for the Alarm to only be generate if the System is Armed AWAY/STAY, but to still give me a few minutes before generating an Alarm,
And when the system is DisArmed I would just like it to Determine the Status of the Door Yes,.

Based on programming, your Tilt sensor is set up to trigger an alarm during arm stay/away as well as notify you of the garage door’s open/close status.

However, the time allotted to enter the premise and disarm the panel would be governed by the RF Sensor Type: Entry/Exit. The default for Entry Exit 1 is 30 seconds.

The Tilt can be programmed for Entry Exit 1 or Entry Exit 2. These two zone types can have an independent entry delay timer. Usually entry exit 2 is reserved for extended delay.

In addition, you can specify the length of the delay for the two types. Q7 in programming lets you set the delay time for Entry Exit 2. By default it is 45 seconds. You can set that up to 240 seconds, which would give you plenty of time to enter and disarm from the panel theoretically.

You could also disarm via the mobile app or keyfob upon entering the garage.

Superb…

So i’ll need to modify this line here from “RF Sensor Type: (23) No Response Type OR if you want it to generate alarms (1) Entry Exit” to Entry Exit 2 (By the way, what does (23) No Response Type do?)

And is there a Programming similar to Q7 for a 2GIG GC2 panel?

“RF Sensor Type: (23) No Response Type OR if you want it to generate alarms (1) Entry Exit” to Entry Exit 2 (By the way, what does (23) No Response Type do?)

RF Sensor Type gives you a few options to choose from when programming a sensor. In this case we’ll focus on 23 No Response type , Entry Exit 1 and Entry Exit 2.

EE1 and 2 both allow the sensor to trigger an alarm should the sensor open during Arm Stay/Away.

Both 1 and 2 have a global setting that can be accessed in programming for how much time is allowed between tripping the sensor and the panel going into alarm.

However sensor type 23 allows the system to monitor the status of the zone (in this case if the garage is open or closed) but it does not trigger an alarm based on that status.

And is there a Programming similar to Q7 for a 2GIG GC2 panel?

To clarify, Q7 is short for Question 7 and is a question in the GC2s panel programming that can be set.

To get to Q7 in programming:

  • Click on the logo in the right hand corner of the panels home screen
  • Enter Installer Code
  • Click on System Configuration
  • Then on Go To
  • Type in 07
  • This will take you to Q7: Enter entry delay 2, in seconds (30-240) Default is 45 seconds
  • Change the time in seconds by typing the desired amount of time and submit by hitting the End button.
  • Review your changes to ensure you have set it to what you want. Ensure the Save Changes box is checked then click the exit button to finalize. The changes will be saved once the panel reboots.

Keep in mind that any sensors that use Exit Entry 2 will be governed by this choice
