hey everyone drew with geoarm and i am back to talk to you about the 2gig gc2e
and its programming of the sm kt 8e this is the encrypted us version smoke detector
i know this does also enroll as a heat and a freeze detection device i will be showing you
how to do that in separate videos this is a video strictly for programming it as a smoke detector
now the first thing you want to take into account is this is an e-series device the equipment code
will start with the number two in this case it is two zero five eight for the equipment code
and the loop number will be loop one for the smoke detector so we'll go ahead and we'll start getting
this thing learned in hit security once you've hit security go ahead and hit menu once you get
your new options up you want to press toolbox and then it's going to ask you or prompt you for
your installer code in my case it is 1561 which is the factory installer code for the gc2e now we're
going to hit the right arrow twice when we see the new options we want to go into installer toolbox
then system configuration now it'll say q1 it's wanting you to select which zone you
want to program into i don't have anything programmed in here this is a fresh panel so
if you wanted to go to a different zone you just press the right or left arrows and you can cycle
through whichever zones you'd like i'm going to leave it on zone 1 here press the down arrow
once you press the down arrow it's going to want to know the sensor type in this case it
is a 0 9 which is a 24 hour fire so you can either enter 0 9 or press the right and left arrows and
it'll eventually get you to that hit the down arrow it's going to ask for the equipment code
now the equipment code for the us version smoke heat and freeze detector will be 2058 once again
that is 2058 for the e-series equipment code for the us version of the smoke heat and freeze
detector once you have that equipment code press the down arrow now it's going to ask you to learn
your sensor in it wants you to actually enter the tx id i don't advise you do it like that i advise
that you learn it in so that you recognize and your panel recognizes it and you can see that it
it's playing nice with one another so in this case we're going to go ahead and we're going to hit
shift and then we're going to hit learn now mine doesn't have the battery tags in it so i'm not
i'm not really going to be worried about popping those my battery is already active inside so all
i have to do is tamper this device at this point once i pop the cover it learns in now you want
to verify that your tx id is the correct txid zero three one nine nine three seven is my tx id
so once you've verified that you go ahead and you put your cover back on and then you close it now
we're gonna put this to the side you're gonna hit okay you're gonna hit the down arrow at this point
it's gonna ask you what the equipment age is this is a brand new smoke detector for me press the
down arrow after you've selected the equipment age it could be existing or brand new once again
then you'll see select rf sensor one loop number or sensor whatever number you're working on loop
number as i said this is a smoke detector only at this point so i am only putting it as a loop one
the other uh devices i will show you how to enroll in separate videos this is a loop one hit the down
arrow it's going to ask you to select a voice descriptor i'm just going to call it a smoke
detector so you should see a board pop up on the screen when you hit insert in the bottom left hand
corner then you use your left and right arrows to scroll to whatever you want the descriptor to be
there are a bunch of them so it may take you a few to get to it mine i just made smoke so as soon as
i i made it that i'm going to go ahead and hit the down arrow and then it wants to know if it's going
to be a reporting device this device is going to report to central station and i want it to do so
now if you want it to be a local device only reporting to you or to your panel you would just
push the right arrow and then it would be a local only device so simply reporting to the panel only
and not transmitting a signal to central i do want it to do that however so i'm going to leave it
enabled and then i'm going to press the down arrow now it wants to know if this device is supervised
meaning that it's checking in with the panel to let it know it's uh it's it's alright you know
it's got a a good battery it's not falling out of rf supervision it's not being interfered with
i'm going to leave that because i do want that to happen so press the down arrow now it wants
to know if you want to chime this this is a smoke detector so these devices typically don't chime so
i'm just going to go ahead and skip that press the down arrow you'll get your summary of rf
sensor number whatever you just did mine is sensor one so you could go back and edit current here
you could click edit next which will take you to the next zone you can start adding the next device
or you can hit skip skip is just going to take you back to the main screen here
for programming that's what i want to do once i've hit skip i want to hit hit end now at this
point you'll see a new list of options and things pop up specifically back save changes and exit
you can hit back to go back to what you're doing in programming
you can hit exit to go ahead and exit out now before you do that you want to make sure that
you've made the choice whether or not you want to save the changes i do want to save the changes
so i'm going to leave that box checked if i did not want to save the changes i would just simply
uncheck the box and then exit i'm going to save them so i check it and then i hit exit now at this
point it should go into a reboot procedure that's perfectly normal it's going to go ahead and cycle
and then once it comes back up here and the screen obviously comes back i should be able
to tamper this device and you'll see it appear on the screen as smoke so let's give it a minute here
all right now we'll tamper this device see so we got smoke tamper now so it is monitoring
that for supervision i put the cover back on and it goes away now you probably want to hold the
button down in the middle here to actually test it this thing actually presses down and it'll
transmit a signal i'm not going to do that because i don't want to blow your ears out
