Nortek Control 2GIG Edge Remote Keypad User Manual

Nortek Control 2GIG Edge Remote Keypad Introduction

The Remote Keypad (2GIG-EDG-RK) is a wall-mounted, full-color, touch screen interface that provides all of the same easy-to-use keypad functions available on the Control Panel. It is designed for indoor use only and gives users the ability to arm and disarm the system, see the status of sensor zones, and control Smart Home devices.

Choose the Location for the 2GIG EDGE Remote Keypad’s Backplate
Before mounting the backplate, choose a location. Work with the end user to determine the best location. Always choose an indoor location protected from temperature extremes.

Recommended Tools and Equipment
To install the system, these tools and equipment are recommended:

• 2-Conductor Power Wire (if connecting power supply to the panel’s terminal block)
• Drywall Saw (or equivalent)
• Screwdrivers
• Staple Gun
• Wire Stripper

Choose the Wall Location

To choose a wall location:

• Always choose a location that is above ground and centrally located. Do NOT install the Panel below ground level, because wireless range may be impaired.
• Do NOT connect the Panel to a light switch-controlled outlet.
• Avoid choosing a location that can be easily viewed from doors or windows.
• Avoid choosing a location that is within reach of small children.
• Avoid choosing a location in direct sunlight.

1. Align Backplate for Hole Locations
   Remove the backplate from the panel by backing out the top and bottom screws until you feel resistance.
   Once removed, create mounting holes and cut a slot in the dry wall for the AC power cord.

2. Mount the Backplate to a Wall
   Use the four (4) wall anchors and screws (supplied).
   NOTE: The Wall Anchor is the wall tamper and MUST be anchored to work.
   The illustration displays both types of power connection:
   Install the 2 – conductor power wires or Barrel Connector

3. Attach Hanger for Wiring  (optional)
   Attach the panel’s third-hand hanging strap to the hook at the bottom of the backplate for easy access during wiring.

4. Connect the Power Wires (Terminal Block)
   Locate a wall outlet for the plug-in power supply, but do NOT connect the power supply to the outlet at this time. IMPORTANT: Never connect the plug-in power supply to a switch-controlled outlet. Do not over-tighten the terminal block’s contact screws.

5. Connect Power (Barrel)
   The Barrel connector is an alternate method for connecting the AC power supply to the Panel. WARNING!! Do NOT plug the power supply into the outlet at this time.

6. Connect Backup Battery
   Align pins, then carefully insert the battery cable.

7. Hang the EDGE Remote Keypad
   Place the backplate over the lower lip on the back of the chassis, and flip the Remote Keypad upward and push until it clicks into place.
   Secure the back plate by tightening the top and bottom screws.

8. Install Retaining Wall Bracket and Connect the AC Power Supply
   For compliance with ANSI/NFPA 70: National Electric Code in the United States, you must install the power supply retaining bracket (not required in Canada).

Wireless Product Notice
Radio controls provide a reliable communication link and fill an important need in portable wireless signaling; however, there are some limitations that must be observed.

• For United States installations only: The radios are required to comply with FCC Rules and Regulations as Part 15 devices. As such, they have limited transmitter power and therefore limited range [approximately 400 feet (121.92 meters)].
• A receiver cannot respond to more than one transmitted signal at a time and may be blocked by radio signals that occur on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of code settings.
• Changes or modifications to the device may void FCC compliance. Infrequently used radio links should be tested regularly to protect against undetected interference or fault.
• A general knowledge of radio and its vagaries should be gained prior to acting as a wholesale distributor or dealer, and these facts should be communicated to the end-users.
  NOTE: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Please test the system at least once per week.
2. The replacement rechargeable battery is 2GIG-EDG-RK-BATT. Replacement batteries are available and are expected to last a minimum of three years under normal conditions.
