Programming a Zone to a 2GIG GC3e

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to program a zone to a 2GIG GC3e Security System. This is a very important step for setting up the system. Every sensor will take up at least one zone on the system. You need to make sure that you configure all system zones correctly, or else the system will not respond in the appropriate manner when a sensor is faulted. This is determined by the Sensor Type for the zone, which may also be referred to as the Response Type. Different sensors will use different Sensor Types, so understanding them is important when programming zones.

Other than Sensor Types, there are many other configurations that go into programming a zone. For example, as most zones on a 2GIG GC3e are wireless, you will need to program the Serial Number for the sensor to the zone. The 2GIG GC3e allows you to auto-enroll wireless sensors. This is recommended so that you do not make a mistake when entering the Serial Number. Auto-enrolling also helps ensure that the sensor communicates with the system properly. Most 345 MHz sensors will work with the 2GIG GC3e. You can also use the encrypted 2GIG eSeries Sensors with the system.

Another aspect of programming a zone is setting things like the Voice Descriptor, which is what the panel will speak out when the sensor is faulted. You can also set whether the panel will chime, speak out the Voice Descriptor, or do both voice and chime. There are also other miscellaneous settings, such as whether or not the panel should report out if the associated sensor triggers a system alarm, as well as whether or not the system should monitor the sensor for RF supervision. All of these settings will need to be adjusted accordingly when setting up the zone.
