SMOKE DETECTOR SENSOR
GENERAL INFORMATION
The 2GIG Smoke Detector Sensor, part number 2GIG-SDS1-345, is a 110V AC
powered sensor. It monitors the interconnect line on interconnected hardwired
smoke detector systems and sends out a transmission when smoke is detected
at any of the smoke alarm units connected on the same circuit. The device has
LEDs to visually indicate the status of the sensor. A single CR2032 baery provides
backup power in the event that AC power is lost on the smoke detector system
circuit. The smoke detector sensor communicates with a compable 2GIG control
panel and can send alarm, low baery, AC power loss, and supervisory messages
to the system's receiver.

Figure 6. Wiretaps/Wires, & Pigtail through Center
Figure 7. Crimping Wiretaps onto Wires
Figure 8. Wiretap Connecons
Wiring the Connections
Before connecng the wires from the smoke detector sensor, idenfy the (+) line
(hot) 120VAC wire and the neutral wire. Usually the (+) line (hot) 120VAC wire
will be black and the neutral wire white. Use a voltmeter or voltage sensor to
verify that the proper wires are selected. You may need to reconnect power to the
electrical circuit powering the interconnected hardwired smoke detectors in order
to do this (Figure 8).
WARNING: Remember to disconnect or shut offelectrical power to the
interconnected hardwired smoke detector if it was powered on in the previous
step to idenfy the 120VAC wires.
Use an electrician’s linesman plier or equivalent tool (See Figure 8) and using the
installed wiretaps on the device, crimp the wiretap with the black wire onto the
120VAC line (hot) wire.
✓NOTE: Wiretaps must be used on a secon of stranded wire. This is typically
located between the connector to the smoke detector and the wire nut.
The wiretap with the yellow wire should be aached to the wire lead connected
to the interconnect wire of the smoke detector. This wire is typically yellow or
orange.
Once all (3) three wiretaps have been installed (Figure 8), reaach the electrical
wire pigtail to the back of the smoke detector unit and mount the smoke detector
on the mounng base (Refer to Figure 3).
Installing the Back-Up Battery
Figure 9. Installing Back-up Baery
WARNING: Ensure that the smoke detector sensor has been wired correctly.
Damage to the smoke detector sensor may occur if the 120 VAC line (hot) wire
neutral wire are reversed. The unit may fail to funcon properly if incorrectly
wired.
Turn on or reconnect power to the primary electrical circuit that powers the
interconnected hardwired smoke detector system. The device should now power
on.
Use a flat bladed tool, slide out the baery tray that holds the backup baery.
Insert a CR2032A baery (included) into the baery slot. Slide the baery tray
back into the device (Figure 9).
✓NOTE: Orient the (+) baery terminal up so that it is visible when facing the unit.
Programming the Sensor
Follow the instrucons on how to program a sensor into a compable 2GIG control
panel. See the 2GIG control panel’s Installaon & Programming Guide for more
informaon on how to learn a sensor into the control panel.
The device should learn in as a Loop 1 sensor device. Use a small paper clip or other
sharp object and carefully insert into the learn/test buon hole. This will send
out an alarm transmission ID so the the sensor can be learned into a compable
control panel or can be used to test that the transmier is working properly.
Replacing the Battery
If the compable control panel shows that this sensor has a low baery, the
backup baery may need to be replaced.
Use a flat headed screw driver or other tool to slide the baery tray out of the
device. Remove the baery from the tray and replace with a new CR2032A
baery. Slide the baery tray back into the unit, making sure that the tray is fully
inserted into the unit.
✓NOTE: Use Panasonic CR2032A baeries or equivalent. Use of another baery
may damage or negavely affect the operaon of the device.
End-of-Life
The Smoke Detector Sensor does not have an End-of-Life (EOL), however the
smoke detector(s) that this device monitors may have an EOL condion. Follow
the owner's manual for the smoke detector regarding instrucons on proper
smoke detector EOL condions.

Testing the Smoke Detector System
Figure 10. Locaon of LEDs and Learn/Test Buon Hole
The device should be tested in accordance with NFPA 72 guidelines. The following
instrucons are intended to provide a general guideline on how to test the smoke
detector system, smoke detector sensor, and communicaons to an alarm panel.
Follow the smoke alarm instrucon manual on tesng the smoke alarm and any
interconnected units. There usually is a test buon on the smoke detector that can
be pressed to iniate a test mode. This should cause the sounder to alarm and also
any smoke detectors that are interconnected to also alarm.
The smoke detector sensor should send out a transmission to a compable alarm
panel.
If this transmission is not received, first check if the Smoke Detector Sensor is
properly programmed into a compable alarm panel. Please follow the alarm
panel instrucons on learning in a sensor.
Also, check that the interconnect wire on the smoke detector is properly connected
to the Smoke Detector Sensor. The LEDs on the Smoke Detector Sensor should
flash red indicang that it has received the alarm signal from the smoke detector.
Testing the Smoke Detector Sensor Radio Transmission Only
The Smoke Detector Sensor incorporates a small test buon. This test buon can
be acvated by inserng a straightened paper clip or sharp object into the Learn/
Test hole. The Smoke Detector Sensor will then send an alarm signal transmission
to a compable alarm panel. This can be used to test that the Smoke Detector
Sensor will send a proper transmission to an alarm panel. This DOES NOT test if
the wiring between the smoke detector and the smoke detector sensor is correct.

Selecting a Location
Selecng a suitable locaon is crical to the operaon of smoke alarms. This
equipment should be installed in accordance with Naonal Fire Protecon
Associaon’s (NFPA) Standard 72 (see Figure 11).
A-11-8.3a Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in
Existing Construction.
The major threat from fire in a family living unit occurs at night when everyone is
asleep. The principal threat to persons in sleeping areas comes from fires in the
remainder of the unit. Therefore, a smoke alarm(s) is best located between the
bedroom areas and the rest of the unit. In units with only one bedroom area on
one floor, the smoke alarm(s) should be located as shown in Figure 11A.
In family living units with more than one bedroom area or with more than one
floor, more than one smoke alarm is required, as shown in Figure 11C.
In addion to smoke alarms outside of the sleeping areas, the installaon of a
smoke alarm on each addional story of the family living unit, including the
basement, is required. These installaons are shown in Figure 11B. The living area
smoke alarm should be installed in the living room or near the stairway to the
upper level, or in both locaons. The basement smoke alarm should be installed
in close proximity to the stairway leading to the floor above. Where installed on
an open-joisted ceiling, the alarm should be placed on the boom of the joists.
The alarm should be posioned relave to the stairway to intercept smoke coming
from a fire in the basement before smoke enters the stairway (Figure 11D).
Figure 11. Smoke Alarm Placement
Where to Locate the Required Smoke Alarms in New Construction.
All of the smoke alarms specified for exisng construcon are required and, in
addion, a smoke alarm is required in each bedroom.
Are More Smoke Alarms Desirable?
The required number of smoke alarms might not provide reliable early warning
protection for those areas separated by a door from the areas protected by the
required smoke alarms. For this reason, it is recommended that the householder
consider the use of additional smoke alarms for those areas for increased protection.
The additional areas include the basement, bedrooms, dining room, furnace
room, utility room, and hallways not protected by the required smoke alarms. The
installation of smoke alarms in kitchens, attics (finished or unfinished), or garages is
not normally recommended, as these locations occasionally experience conditions
that can result in improper operation.
Since regulations pertaining to smoke alarm/detector installation vary from state
to state, contact the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Where public safety is
primary, the AHJ may be federal, state, local, or other regional department or
individual such as a fire chief, fire marshal, chief of a fire prevention bureau,

labor or health department, building official, electrical inspector, or others having
statutory authority. For insurance purposes, an insurance inspection department,
rating bureau, or other insurance company representative may be the AHJ. In
some cases, the property owner or their designated agent assumes the role of the
AHJ. At government installations, the commanding officer or department official
may be the AHJ.
In addition to NFPA 72, use the following location guidelines to optimize
performance and reduce the chance of false alarms from the alarm:
• Locate ceiling-mounted smoke alarms in the center of a room or hallway at
least 4 inches (10cm) from any walls or partitions.
• Locate wall-mounted smoke alarms so the top of the alarm is 4 to 12 inches
(10 to 31cm) below the ceiling.
• Locate in a suitable environment as follows:
• Temperature between 40°F (4.4°C) and 100°F (37.8°C)
• Humidity between 0 and 95% non-condensing
• Locate away from air conditioners, heating registers, and any other ventilation
source that may interfere with smoke entering the alarm.
• Mount smoke alarms on a firm permanent surface.
• Locate away from large metallic objects to reduce shielding of the wireless
transmitter’s signal.
Smoke alarms are not to be used with detector guards unless the
combination has been evaluated and found suitable for that purpose.
WARNING! LIMITATIONS OF SMOKE ALARMS
Wireless smoke alarms are very reliable, but may not work under all conditions.
No fire alarm provides total protection of life or property. Smoke alarms are not a
substitute for life insurance.
Smoke alarms require a source of power to work. This smoke alarm will not
operate and the alarm will not sound if batteries are dead or not installed properly.
Smoke alarms may not be heard. A sound sleeper or someone who has taken
drugs or alcohol may not awaken if the alarm is installed outside a bedroom.
Closed or partially closed doors and distance can block sound. This alarm is not
designed for the hearing impaired.
Smoke alarms may not always activate and provide warning early enough.
Smoke alarms only activate when enough smoke reaches the alarm. If a fire starts
in a chimney, wall, roof, on the other side of closed doors, or on a different level of
the property, enough smoke may not reach the alarm for it to be activated.
Smoke alarms are a significant help in reducing loss, injury and even death.
However, no matter how good a detection device is, nothing works perfectly under
every circumstance and we must warn you that you cannot expect a smoke alarm
to ensure that you will never suffer any damage or injury.
Current studies have shown smoke alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals.
It is the responsibility of individuals in the household that are capable of assisting
others to provide assistance to those who may not be awakened by the alarm
sound, or to those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted.
FIRE PREVENTION AND ESCAPE
The purpose of an early warning smoke alarm is to detect the presence of fire in
its early stages and sound an alarm giving the occupants time to exit the premises
safely.
AVOID FIRE HAZARDS
No detecon device can protect life in all situaons. Therefore, safeguards should
be taken to avoid potenally dangerous situaons as follows:
• Do not smoke in bed.
• Do not leave children home alone.
• Never clean with flammable liquids such as gasoline.
• Properly store materials. Use general good housekeeping techniques to
keep your home neat and tidy. A cluttered basement, attic, or other storage
area is an open invitation to fire.
• Use combustible materials and electrical appliances carefully and only for
their intended uses. Do not overload electrical outlets.
• Do not store explosive and/or fast burning materials in your home.
• Even after proper precautions have been taken, fires can start. Be prepared.
IN CASE OF FIRE
In the event of a fire:
• Leave immediately. Don’t stop to pack or search for valuables.
• In heavy smoke, hold your breath and stay low, crawl if necessary. The
clearest air is usually near the floor.
• If you have to go through a closed door, carefully feel the door and door knob
to see if undue heat is present. If they seem cool, brace your foot against the
bottom of the door with your hip against the door and one hand against the
top edge. Open it slightly. If a rush of hot air is felt, slam the door quickly and
latch it. Unvented fire tends to build up considerable pressure. Be sure all
members of the household realize and understand this danger.
• Use your neighbor’s phone or a street fire alarm box to call the fire department.
The job of extinguishing the fire should be left to the professionals.
BE PREPARED
Pracce the following steps to prepare you and your family in the event of a fire:
• Perform fire drills regularly. Use them to assure recognition of an alarm
signal.
• Draw a floor plan and show two exits from each room. It is important that
children be instructed carefully, because they tend to hide in times of crisis.
• Establish one meeting place outside the home. Insist that everyone meet
there during an alarm. This will eliminate the tragedy of someone reentering
the house for a missing member who is actually safe.
• If you have children and/or physically challenged people residing in your
household, use window decals to help emergency personnel identify the
sleeping quarters of these individuals.
