two ways to restore the system’s factory default settings:
Hard Reset and Soft Reset.
Choose one of these options:
»
† Allow Reset of All Defaults: Lets installers restore
the factory-default values to the GC3 Panel.
»
Allow Limited Reset of Defaults: Lets installers
restore some of the factory-default values, with the
exception of “Q1: Enter installer code (4 digits)”
above, “Q2: Lock installer programming” above,
“Q3: Lock default programming” above, and “Q7:
Remote services provider.” This setting takes effect
48 hours after the setting is changed, and the
countdown timer starts when you exit the System
Con
fi
guration menu.
»
Do Not Allow Reset of Defaults: Does not let
installers restore the factory default values to the
GC3 Panel. This setting takes when you exit the
System Con
fi
guration menu.
Q4: Exit delay, in seconds (45-120)
Con
fi
gures the number of seconds for the Exit Delay
countdown. Different times may be programmed for each
Smart Areas. (Smart Areas feature must be enabled
(Q69) for values for S2-S4 to affect the system) This is the
amount of time occupants have to exit the building through
a door after arming the system. The doors programmed as
Exit/Entry 1 and Exit/Entry 2 use this timer. When the user
arms the system, the countdown starts.
The GC3 Panel beeps once every two (2) seconds during
the countdown. For the last 10 seconds, the beeps speed
up to warn occupants that they have less than 10 seconds
to exit the premises.
Choose one of these options:
»
45-120 Seconds: Choose a value between 45 and
120 seconds.
»
† ‡ 60 Seconds: For compliance with ANSI/SIA CP-
01-2010, the default Exit Delay feature is set to 60
seconds.
NOTE:
Arming the system from a remote location
with a web-enabled device, such as a computer
or smart phone, does NOT initiate the Exit Delay
countdown.
Q5: Entry delay 1, in seconds (30-240)
Con
fi
gures the number of seconds for the Entry Delay 1
timer. Different times may be programmed for each Smart
Areas. (Smart Areas feature must be enabled (Q69) for
values for S2-S4 to affect the system) This speci
fi
es the
amount of time occupants have to disarm the system after
entering the premises through a door. Typically, the primary
entrance programmed as an Exit/Entry 1 door uses this
time. When the user enters the premises, the countdown
timer starts.
The GC3 Panel beeps once every two (2) seconds during
the countdown.
Panel Programming
This section details the Panel Programming questions.
A dagger (†) indicates a factory default setting. A double
dagger (‡) indicates a default setting for compliance with
ANSI/SIA CP-01-2010: Control Panel Standard - Features
for False Alarm Reduction.
Q1: Enter installer code (4 digits)
De
fi
nes the unique four-digit code for installers to use when
accessing the GC3 Panel’s Installer Toolbox. See “Navigate
to the Installer Toolbox.”
Choose one of these options:
»
† 1561: This is the factory default setting.
»
Enter a unique four-digit code. If you change the
Installer Code, be sure to remember it so you can
access the system later. The Installer Code must
be unique from the Master User Code and all other
user codes.
Important:
To minimize the risk of unwanted
persons circumventing the system, 2GIG alarm
dealers and professional installers are advised to
change the system’s default Installer Code to a
unique one. This helps to prevent unwanted persons
from gaining access to critical programming features
of the GC3 Security & Automation System.
Q2: Lock installer programming
This feature prevents system takeovers by locking the
installer programming features in the System Con
fi
guration
menu after 48 hours. The 48-hour lockout timer starts when
the installer exits System Con
fi
guration mode. To restore
access after the 48-hour period, installers must reset the
lockout timer using the Cellular Radio Module.
When this feature is enabled, the following programming
features are locked out after 48 hours:
“Q1: Enter installer code (4 digits)” above
“Q2: Lock installer programming” above
“Q3: Lock default programming” below,
“Q7: Remote services provider”.
Choose one of these options:
»
† Disabled (Full Access): This turns the feature
OFF. Installer programming remains unlocked after
48-hours.
»
No Access: This turns the feature ON. The
programming features are fully restricted after
48-hours.
»
Limited Access: This turns the feature ON. The
programming features are partially restricted after
48-hours.
Q3: Lock default programming
Prevents system takeovers by limiting the user’s ability to
restore the GC3 Panel’s factory-default settings. There are
