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.

IMPORTANT: 

This device must be tested and maintained regularly. This device 

is intended for use with compa  ble smoke detectors, but will not detect the 
presence of smoke, heat, or 

fi

 re directly.

 

Note: 

Each of the smoke alarms part of interconnected smoke alarms must be:

• Present in every required loca  on per NFPA 72,11.5.1
• Con

fi

 rmed as less than ten years from date of installa  on (or manufacture). 

Please check label on the device or original smoke detector device manual.

• Hardwired to a single, common 120V AC circuit designated for interconnected 

smoke alarms.

• Pass the manufacturer's stated tes  ng regimen to con

fi

 rm proper interconnect 

opera  on.

• Have fresh back-up ba  eries.
• On the list of compa  ble models (any model not listed may work but has not 

been compa  bility tested.

• This device shall not be installed in loca  ons where the normal ambient 

temperature is below 40F(4.4C) or exceeds 100F (37.8C), unless the alarm has 
been determined capable of being used at installa  on points with higher or 
lower ambient temperatures.

• Please see sec  on at the end regarding informa  on on the proper installa  on 

of smoke detectors that are intended to work with the Smoke Detector Sensor.

• This device is not intended to work with smoke alarms paired with smoke alarm 

guards, unless the combina  on has been evaluated and found suitable for this 
purpose.

Compatible Smoke Alarm Models

CAUTION: 

Before a  emp  ng  installa  on, locate the primary electrical circuit 

that powers the interconnected hardwired smoke detector system and shut o

  

or disconnect power to this circuit. An electrical shock hazard is present if this 
electrical circuit is not temporarily disabled during installa  on.

WARNING: 

Remember to turn on or reconnect power to the primary electrical 

circuit that powers the interconnected hardwired smoke detector system. The 

fi

 re 

warning system may be disabled if electrical power is not restored to the system

Install Sensor

Select a smoke detector that will be used to provide power and communicate to 

the smoke detector sensor. Any smoke detector that is within range of a wireless 
2GIG receiver can be selected if the smoke detector is part of an interconnected 
hardwired system.

Remove the exis  ng smoke detector from the exis  ng moun  ng bracket. This is 
usually done by twis  ng the detector counter clockwise or clockwise from where 

it is mounted.

Unplug Pigtail of Exis  ng Smoke Detector

Unplug the exis  ng smoke detector from the smoke detector pigtail. Loosen the 
two screws used to hold the exis  ng moun  ng bracket and remove it from the 
wall or ceiling.
