Hi, DIYers.
This is Frank at Alarm Grid.
We're back in the Alarm Grid video lab
working on the 2GIG GC3 Go Control Panel.
Today we're going to show you how
to program the 2GIG PIR1-345.
This is the box here.
We have the motion right here.
It's a fairly compact unit designed
to be corner mounted at a 90 degree field of view
so that it will travel down both walls.
The depth on this unit is 30 feet
straight out from the corner of the wall and 50 feet across.
So it's a 30 by 55 foot range.
The pet immunity on this is up to 55 pounds.
That means it's designed when a pet is not jumping on furniture
or going up and down stairwells which can actually
disrupt that pet immunity.
But if a pet is just moving around normally at that size
this motion is designed to avoid false alarms due to that.
At Alarm Grid here to avoid any possible false alarms
we really like to avoid using motions with pets.
If there is an environment where you have a confined space
that the pet does not occupy when the system is armed away,
then that's fine.
You can use that maybe in a basement or garage, bedrooms
any where the pet may not be able to travel in and out
of the system is armed away.
Otherwise just keep it away from furniture and stairwells,
and usually that does a good job of avoiding false alarms.
So we're going to show you how to program this unit.
This sensor is a seven digit serial number
just as any other wireless sensor has.
And this, in particular, uses Loop One.
So we'll show you how to set that up on the system.
There's two ways of enrolling any wireless sensor,
one is to auto enroll.
The other is to manually enter the serial number.
If you have already installed this
or it's an existing sensor that's already been mounted up
into the wall, then we can show you
how to just document the serial number.
Or you can pop open the unit and get the serial number inside
and manually enter it and set Loop One.
Or you can auto enroll.
We'll show you how to do both.
So what we'll do now is jump into the installer tool
box on the GC3.
We'll hit the 2GIG symbol on the top right
and then enter the installer code.
Our default is 1, 5, 6, 1 on the GC3.
If you've already changed it you can go ahead and use that.
We'll use System Configuration here.
And then we'll set this up as a Wireless Zone.
So now that we're in here, we see
that we've already set in a front door that
was in previous video.
We'll go down to a Wireless Zone Two.
And it will show you our lists here on the right.
As soon as you click into Sensor Type it'll bring that over here
on the left and then we can start setting these in here.
So the first thing here is determining how
you want to set the sensor up.
So motion detectors generally are
set on two different types of response types.
The most common would be Interior Follower.
And Interior Follower zone essentially
is disabled when you arm the system stay.
So if you're arming stay meaning that you're
staying at the home, this will be disabled,
so you can move around the home.
However, if you arm away, it will
allow you to walk in front of it during the exit delay
period on the way out.
On the way in it will follow the entry delay period.
So that's what follower means.
So if you open your front door and that's set an entry exit,
and this motion is not in direct view of that door
then you can--
then it will allow that entry period.
So if you're entry delay is 30 seconds,
this motion will not trip for 30 seconds.
It basically follows that.
Now if somebody gained access to the home
and one of the entry exit doors was not opened,
and this was tripped during armed away
it would be an instant alarm.
So that's why this is a little bit more
secure than the other setting which we can show you here.
So Interior Follower's is type four, the most common.
If we scroll down, to 10, you'll actually
see Interior With Delay.
So entry with delay is a little bit different.
It's similar in the sense that it
is disabled during armed stay to avoid false alarms when
you're inside the home for moving around.
So it's the same there.
Where it's different is when this detects motion
during armed away after the exit period has expired
and if somebody were to gain entry or walk in somewhere once
this trips it will allow the--
it will be mapped to the entry delay one period.
So that's set to 30 seconds for the doors.
It will also be 30 seconds for this.
Where that can come in handy is if you're using this--
maybe you're using this in a garage
or in an area where there will not be a door opened
before this is tripped.
So if this is in an entry point and that entry door does not
have a contact on it to allow the system
to know that an entry door is opened then
that's where you set this Interior With Delay.
Also if the motion is in direct view of an entry door
looking directly at it as that door opens if the motion will
trip before the panel can get that signal knowing
that the contact has been opened there's that fine line there
if it's looking directly at the door.
That's usually why you want to set it on Interior With Delay
to avoid that false alarm.
If that fall doesn't get to the panel
before the panel notifies this that there is a fault,
then it'll trip immediately if you have
a set on Interior Follower.
So that's why Interior With Delay
is a little bit more flexible.
If you want to avoid false alarms,
in general, you can feel free to set all your motions
to Interior With Delay.
We prefer setting them to Interior Follower
unless they are in those particular circumstances
where they're looking at the entry door.
Or you would potentially through normal use trip
this motion before opening an entry exit door.
So those are the two most common zone types.
You could set this as a perimeter zone
if you wanted to.
That would mean during armed stay and arm away.
It's an instant alarm.
Maybe you have this in a secured closet
where no matter what when the systems armed
you want it to trip an alarm immediately, you can do that.
You can also set it as an Entry Exit Zone
and if you wanted it to be enabled during Armed Stay Mode
as well.
So for today's purposes, we're going
to set this to the most common type which
is Interior Follower.
So this means disable during Armed Stay.
Instant during away unless there is an entry exit door open.
So we'll move down to Sensor Equipment.
You'll notice that when you set Interior Follower
the equipment automatically sets this to a motion.
OK.
So you'll see Motion here.
Motions already selected.
If it wasn't you could toggle that
but it does do it automatically when you send an interior type.
Equipment code.
You can either manually enter in the code using
the guide and the number that is associated
with this particular unit.
Or you can cheat here and use the three horizontal bars
in the top right.
And you'll see 2GIG PRI with Pet Immunity.
That is 0, 8, 6, 9.
So that is this sensor here.
We can then move down to the Serial Number.
So this is where we have two different ways of doing this.
If you already have installed your motions
and you documented the serial number,
this is where you can manually enter it in.
If you have not installed it like we have not today then
you can pop open this unit by using a Phillips head
screwdriver.
We'll open up, remove the screw and we can pop open the panel--
or pop open the motion.
You'll see that out of the box it
does not come with the battery.
I have the battery sitting separately here.
This is a CR123A so Panasonic battery.
Energizer CR-- the Energizer CR123 will work as well.
So when you see--
you'll see the empty battery slot here
which is where you can put this in.
As soon as this goes in, it will put this into a learning mode
where it'll be live for a few minutes.
We have a couple of jumpers here.
There's a jumper for 55 or 35 pet immunity.
That's the amount of pounds that it'll allow.
So the 35 pound pet immunity will basically
make this a little bit less--
more sensitive to pets.
Then there's a general sensitivity jumper
where if this was to be moved it's
on low by default on the two right pins.
You can move it to high on the left two pins.
Usually, we recommend just keeping this on default.
These usually are fine if you're in a premise where you really
want high sensitivity and there will be no pets at all.
You could move this jumper over to a high and then jump--
it doesn't matter where this is once this
is set to high basically eliminates the pet immunity.
So in here you'll see there's TXID code.
So you can either manually enter the serial number
or you can learn it by pressing the tamper switch
on the left hand side here.
You have to have your battery in first.
So we've put in our battery, plus side
on the-- plus side on the left negative on the right.
We already discussed our jumpers here.
We have our pet community jumpers
on the left and then the sensitivity on the right.
If there's no pets you can set the sensitivity to high
by moving the jumper to the left.
So here is where we can learn it in.
So we'll go right into the Learn Mode.
It'll say listening.
We can press this tamper button and release.
[BEEP]
And it will say sensor received.
It'll show that 0, 1, 1.
It will actually show the seven digit number.
For due diligence, you can double check it
but it usually--
I've never seen to be wrong.
So you can use auto enroll it here and then hit Accept.
Again if you already have this mounted
feel free to manually program this.
It does lead to more user error but if you already
have it installed, then that's the easiest thing to do.
So you can just document them as you install them and then come
back here and program them.
When you auto enroll the motion it always requires-- still
require setting the loop.
By default, it'll be a Loop One which is where you want it.
But just in case if it does ever jump over
to a different loop that's where you'd want to adjust it.
So the loop number here is important.
You want this to be Loop One, OK.
So once you've done that you can snap this shut here,
we'll take the top corner basically hook
the top in first.
And then snap the bottom shut.
And we can continue programming here.
I'll put this motion down for a moment.
So in all of our programming videos for zones,
we discussed Transmission Delay.
This is a way to hold an alarm signal from sending out
to the central station.
We always want to disable this.
By default, it is enabled.
What this means is if that motion were to be tripped
and the alarm goes off then if this Transmission
Delays enabled the system will hold
that signal for the period of time
that is programmed to the transmission delay in panel
programming.
We'll have another video on setting that selection.
We always recommend disabling this so that
your central station--
if you have monitoring it knows that the motion was tripped.
There are other measures you can put
in place as far as verification phone numbers to prevent
false alarms.
So this is not usually the way that we would like to do it.
If you're in an area where your County Sheriff or City Police
Department is very strict on false alarms,
and you're trying to put in any measures
possible to avoid false alarms, and you're
willing to sacrifice the central station from knowing
when there's alarm.
If it's disabled during this transmission delay period,
then you can enable this just keep it on enabled mode
and that's fine.
Just make sure you have that discussion with your alarm
company.
For today because we preferred to disable that
we'll keep it disabled.
Go into Voice Descriptor.
We'll hit edit Voice Descriptor.
Here is where we can type in everything
we want the zone to be labeled as.
So we'll use this as our living room motion.
So I'll start typing in living room,
and you'll see here on the top it'll show everything
that's in the library.
We'll put living room here and or living rather.
It's very important to choose a word out
of this category up top.
You can create custom words but they will not
announce out of the panel.
So if you plan to have a chime with voice
enunciation-- a setting that we'll set in just a moment
here.
It will not announce a name that is customized
and not listed here on this white bar.
So that's why we prefer to try and fit
within these categories.
So living room.
I'll start typing in motion.
We can put motion there.
So now we have living room motion.
Those are all words that were in the library
so they will announce.
We'll click Done.
And then Sensor Reports.
We always want the sensor to report.
This is a global feature that basically
will disable all reporting.
What that means is if this is tripped
do you ever want it to report and log
to your central station.
If you disable this it will not send that out
to the central station.
If you have alarm dotcom service and you wanted this motion
to simply send you a text and not send anything
to the central station you could disable this reporting here.
And that way would avoid any false alarms or things
like that.
But it would generate a text for you
each time if you customize it that way on alarm.com.
For today will enable it assuming
that it's in our living room and when we're away
we want it to report to central station
if there is an intrusion.
So it's Sensors Supervised.
Supervision, RF Supervision is a way for the panel
to keep tabs on this device.
So if this sensor is removed or compromised
or maybe there's some sort of RF interference in the area
and this isn't able to communicate back to the system
we want to know about it.
We want to know that it's offline.
So that's why we want to keep this
enabled so that this sensor is indeed supervised.
The last selection here Sensor Chime with voice.
With doors and windows, we usually set up the chime.
With motions I'm not a fan of it.
It depends on where it is.
If it's maybe in your garage and you
want to know when people are coming in and out
in the garage that might be a good--
that might be a situation where you
want to be notified of a fault each time.
The problem with setting this is even
when the system is disarmed and you're
moving throughout your home this is
going to chime every time it detects motion.
There is a battery saving time out period on here
that after the second time it's tripped it'll go to sleep.
So we won't necessarily fault each time
it detects motion or motion is occurring in front of it
because it may be asleep.
But it will get annoying and personally, I just
recommend keeping it disabled.
If you want to enable it, you can
go for it just hit Voice Only.
You can do Chime Only's or both together.
So you just select that here and then that's it.
So we're done with this zone.
We would Return to System Config.
You'll see the wireless zones here
is an orange that means that there's been a change made.
It'll show you the summary of everything that we've done.
The Interior Follower's zone type.
The Motion Detector, the 2GIG PIR, Motion with Pet Immunity.
The serial number, the loop number
which is always Loop One for the sensor.
And the name and everything else here that we've gone over we'll
save that.
And then you can go ahead and install this unit.
There is a bag of clips here.
There's a few different parts that you
can use to attach to the back plate to the wall.
These are very handy.
You can use two sided tape to apply to the sides here
and kitty-corner it in the wall--
the corner of the wall if you want as well.
But these can be handy so feel free to use these as well.
Before we're done, you always want to put the screw back in.
So on the bottom of this unit, we
want to get that screw started.
And we can just use a screwdriver to tighten that up.
That way that never pops open and the battery
doesn't fall out or anything like that.
So now you're good to go.
You have your 2GIG PIR1-345 programmed.
If it's already installed great, if you need to install it
go ahead and install it.
And then you can do your testing.
We'll have another video on our channel showing you
how to test this motion in the walk test mode.
