Introduction

This quick start guide introduces 2GIG alarm dealers and professional installers to 2GIG EDGE panel hardware installation and the Installer Toolbox. It describes the process of programming zones, keyfobs, and keypads for the EDGE Panel and how to add and remove Z-Wave® devices from the network. To get started, navigate to the Installer Toolbox menu.

EDGE Panel Installation

Choose the Location for the 2GIG EDGE Panel’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)
• Ladder
• 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.

NOTE: If necessary, the Panel can be mounted on a stand that can be placed on a flat surface, such as desk or counter using the 2GIG Desktop Kit. However, this option may affect compliance with state or regional codes. For 2GIG Desktop Kit installation instructions, refer to the 2GIG EDGE Installation Manual.
