Hi DIYers, Jorge here from Alarm Grid.
Today I'm going to be showing you guys how
to power down your 2GIG EDGE security system.
Now couple of reasons why you may
need to power down the system, if you're doing any hardware
upgrades, if let's say you guys are going to be changing
locations, if you guys need to do
some kind of firmware update, or if you guys need
to reset the system so that it syncs to the alarm.com
cloud a hard reboot sometimes will actually help
you get these things completed.
So what a hard reboot, is essentially cutting off
all power to the system.
So that means unplugging the back of battery and the power
supply.
The first thing we need to do, is remove the system off
of the back plate, assuming you guys have
it installed on the wall.
If you guys have it mounted on a desk
mount you just remove the desk mount to reveal the back.
When you guys are doing this there are going to be two set
screws, there's one at the top and there's
one at the bottom of the system right in the center.
You're going to need a small Phillips head to remove those,
mine are already loosened up.
So I should just be able to pull this off,
and you should see there's a set screw up here,
and there's another screw right down here.
All right.
So once you loosen those up you can remove that from--
you can remove the system from the back plate.
I'm going to use the third hand to just let
the system hang from the back plate which is right there.
Now in my case here, Some of you guys
might be using the little barrel adapter, in my case,
I have a positive and the negative going into the DC plus
or DC in positive and DC and negative I don't have
the barrel connector for mine.
So I'm not going to remove the wires from the terminals,
instead, what I'm going to do is remove the power
supply from the outlet.
So if you guys do have this system check nearby outlets
because that's where the system is usually
plugged into all right.
All right so I'm going to go ahead,
and to power the system down I'm going to unplug the power
supply from the back.
I have my power supply in the back
here, so you would probably just unplug yours from the outlet.
So I unplug my power supply.
Now the system still has power because the backup battery is
still connected to it, so we also
have to unplug the backup battery to completely power
down.
That's going to be this little silver piece that's
kind of hiding behind the encasing of the system,
but you can access the actual connector
piece which is right here, that's what
we're going to pull out.
So I'm going to pull that out, you'll
see this part right here that plugs into there that
is the backup power supply.
So now I have I just quickly left the screen back up
to show you, give me a second, that third hand really
holds it in place.
Now, if I press any buttons, it doesn't power on,
it is completely powered down, there is
no power to it nothing at all.
So now you can go ahead and do whatever
upgrades you need to do, you can power back on
if you were just trying to do a hard reboot so that it would
sync to alarm.com you're done after you power
down now you could just power it back on.
So now to power back on, what you guys
want to do to start off is plug the backup battery in first.
So once we plugged that in the system
will actually start to power on, it's
one of the few systems that starts to power
on with a backup battery.
That's assuming your backup battery has sufficient power
of course, if your back a battery is dead,
it obviously is not going to turn on.
All right so the system is powering
on now that is getting power from the backup battery.
Now we can go ahead and plug-in the power supply in the back.
So let me go to the back here, grab my power supply,
plug it into the outlet.
Good.
I'm going to remove the third hand here.
And then just mount it top to bottom on the back plate,
all right.
Once you have it mounted, well give me
a second some of the wires are stopping it from closing.
Once you have all the wires fed through the back hole
of the wall again, you just got to go ahead and tighten
the screws at the bottom and at the top.
That way it is held on tightly to the back plate
and so that it doesn't fall off, or cause any cover tempers
or anything like that.
So that is basically how you do a hard reboot on your 2GIG EDGE
security system.
