I’d like to switch to 2GIG but I am currently using a Simon panel. Can I reuse my existing wireless sensors?
2GIG brand panels utilize the Honeywell 345Mhz frequency for communication. Interlogix Simon XT/XTi/XTi-5 panels use the GE 319.5 Mhz frequency. As such, your existing sensors can not be directly learned into the panel.
However, this does not mean you need to replace all of your existing sensors with 345Mhz ones. Resolution Products RE524X Universal Translator and Repeater will convert the 319.5Mhz frequency to 345Mhz for you.
Please note, any life safety devices that you are currently using with your Simon panel will not work with the translator. You will need to get 345Mhz compatible life safety devices if you intend on using them with the new 2GIG panel.
