2gig GC3 - Help
A 2Gig trouble condition on your alarm system indicates a problem that needs attention. It's typically displayed on the keypad with a flashing trouble alert icon and a series of beeps. The system also displays the trouble condition's description on the keypad.
Troubleshooting Steps:
-
1. Identify the Trouble:The keypad will show the specific trouble condition, such as low battery, communication failure, or sensor tamper.
-
2. Acknowledge the Alert:You can temporarily silence the beeps by acknowledging the trouble condition on the keypad, but this doesn't fix the issue.
-
3. Fix the Problem:Address the underlying cause of the trouble condition, such as replacing batteries, ensuring proper sensor placement, or addressing communication issues.
-
4. Clear the Trouble:Once the issue is resolved, the trouble condition should disappear from the keypad.
-
5. Test the System:You can test the system to ensure the trouble condition has been resolved.
Specific Trouble Conditions and Solutions:
-
Low Battery: Replace the battery in the panel or sensor.
