It takes just minute to configure the Honeywell 5816OD wireless outdoor sensor to work alongside the 2GIG GC3 wireless security system by following the instructions laid out in our video.

The Honeywell 6816OD is the first wireless outdoor sensor for home security systems. Not only is it waterproof, but it can also withstand temperatures from as low as -40° F all the way up to 150° F.

Because the wireless outdoor sensor is specifically designed for use outdoors, it has a much greater wireless range than indoor sensors. This Honeywell model works well up to 200 feet from your 2GIG GC3 security system.

Our video shows you exactly how to program the Honeywell 5816OD to work with the 2GIG GC3 security system. The video tackles everything from putting batteries into the outdoor sensors to enrolling them with the security system.

The video is extremely in-depth. It goes to great measures to ensure you properly set up your outdoor sensor. It even explains how to program in an additional sensor as a backup if desired.

Enrolling the device on the 2GIG GC3 is another step our video explains step by step. It shows you how to go to the “Installer Tool Box” to start the steps of enrolling.

The video also shows clearly how to set your voice descriptor settings. This is handy if you want your GC3 to ever enunciate the name and location of the outdoor sensors.

Yet another aspect that our video clearly details is the difference between your installer code and your master code. It’s important to know the difference between these two to properly set the two devices up together.

Of particular importance is selecting the right “sensor loop.” Our video tutorial explains which loop is best for which needs and preferences. It even explains the difference between “loop one” and “loop two”.

Finally, the video dives deep into additional settings of the Honeywell 6816OD. One of these is setting up text and email alerts.

In addition to sending a signal to central station, enabling text and email alerts means that your security system will send a text or email to your preferred phone number or location every time the outdoor sensor is opened.

The Honeywell 6816OD is best for barn doors, shed doors, pool gates, and fence gates. The video also highlights the right way to mount the device on these surfaces.

Our video even talks about the transmission delay built into the 2GIG GC3. It tells you the reason this feature is included.

That’s the value of pairing the Honeywell 5816OD wireless outdoor sensor with the 2GIG GC3 wireless security system – it sends you alert and/or triggers an alarm whenever an outdoor door or gate is opened.
