Introduction

This quick start guide introduces 2GIG alarm dealers and professional installers to the 2GIG Vario System. It describes all common 2GIG Vario System

installation and programming steps (based on factory default settings). For more detailed instructions, refer to the 2GIG Vario System Installation &

Programming Guide.

Select a Mounting Location

Decide where to position the 2GIGVario system control panel. If possible, choose a central location in order to minimize wiring to expanders and accessories.

Before the installation, prepare map out the physical locations of all expanders and accessories. This will determine which types of expanders are required at

each location.

The control panel location should:

Be in a dry place near an AC power supply

Be accessible for routing cables to the system from detection devices

Be accessible to the customer's phone lines or IP network

Install Hardware

Main Unit—BUS Connection

The four terminals on the left side of the terminal block represent the expansion BUS. These terminal support the connection of keypads and expansion

modules. The connections are terminal-to-terminal with color-coded wires, as follows:

AUXRED: +12VDC power

COMM BLK: 0V common

BUS YEL: Yellow data

BUS GRN: Green data

Connect all keypads, expanders, and accessories necessary for the installation using the BUSconnections.

2GIG Vario Quick Install Guide

Notes:

The parallel wiring system supports parallel connections from any point along the wiring.

The maximum wire run permitted is 300 meters (1000 feet) for all legs of the BUS.

In case of BUS communication problems, connect two 2.2KΩ resistors—one at each end of the data BUS terminals, between the green and

yellow wires.

If connecting remote power supplies, DO NOT connect the red wire (+12V) between the power supply unit and the 2GIG Vario

system.

For long cable runs, use the correct cable, as listed in "Appendix C: Wiring" in the 2GIG Vario System Installation & Programming Guide.

1. Set BUS Accessory ID Numbers

For most devices, a DIP switch number must be set to identify its ID category number. Devices are split into "Families." Each "Family" of devices has

sequential identification numbers which are set by the DIP switches. Before setting power on, define each module's ID number by setting the DIP switches

as follows:

Notes:

Most accessories have four DIP switches, while BUS detectors have five DIP switches.

IDs 9–32 are only available for BUS detectors.

If a DIP switch is changed on any device, it is necessary to shut down the dvice's power and then re-power it.

The first module in each category is defined as ID = 1.

Families that have sequential ID numbers are:

Keypads

Zone expanders

Outputs

Power supplies

BUS zones

Wireless zone expanders

Notes:

The main unit can support a maximum load of 1.4 Amp. If more current is required, install additional power supply modules (3 Amp max.).

On 3 Amp supervised power supplies and on the wireless expander, there are two programmable outputs. These programmable outputs belong

2GIG Vario Quick Install Guide

to the Output family. Thees outputs have dedicated DIP switches that identify the OUTPUTID.

Maximum number of devices possible:

Device Total

Wired/BUS expanders 3

BUS zones 32

WL zone expanders 2

BUS zone expanders 4

Output expanders 4

Keypads 4

1.5A or 4A power supplies 4

2. Connect Zone Inputs

The following diagrams illustrate the various possible zone connections to the main unit or to the 8 wired zone expander.

Notes:

For a zone with a tamper switch, you can use a double end-of-line resistor to save additional main panel connections.

It is recommended that you use an end-of-line resistor at the far end of each hardwired zone (16 x 2.2K resistors are supplied).

In the 2GIG Vario system, you have the ability to separately define the end-of-line resistance of the zones on the main unit and of the wired the wired zones for

each eight-unit expander block (Quick Keys ②①③). Selection is done by the software with the following available options:

ID EOL DEOL

0 Customized

1 2.2K 2.2K (Default)

2 4.7K 6.8K

3 6.8K 2.2K

4 10K 10K

5 3.74K 6.98K

6 2.7K 2.7K

7 4.7K 4.7K

8 3.3K 4.7K

9 1K 1K

10 3.3K 3.3K

11 5.6K 5.6K

12 2.2K 1.1K

13 2.2K 4.7K

Maximum Current Flows

3. Wire Auxiliary Devices

Use the Auxiliary Power AUX (+) COM (–) terminals to power PIRs, glass-break detectors (4-wire types), smoke detectors, audio switches,

photoelectric systems and/or any device that requires a 12VDC power supply.

4. Wire the Internal Bell

The Bell/LS terminal provides power to the internal siren. When connecting an internal sounding device, pay attention to the polarity.

It is important to position the BELL/LS DIP switch SW1 correctly. The position varies depending on the type of internal siren.

To avoid bell loop trouble, if no connections are made to an internal siren, use a 2.2KΩ resistor in its place.

5. Wire the Bell Tamper

Connect the bell tamper to the BELL TMP and COM terminals on the main panel using 2.2KΩ resistors.

IMPORTANT: If you DO NOT use the terminal TMP BELL, remember to connect a 2.2KΩ resistor (resistor colors: red, red, red) between

the TMP and COM.

6. Wire Utility Output 1 to Activate Self-Powered Devices

Utility output 1 can be used to activate a self-powered siren or any other self-powered device.

7. Set the Main Unit DIP Switches

DIP Switch 1 Status

1: Bell ON: For bell or electronic siren with a built-in siren driver.

OFF: (Default) Fr loudspeaker without a built-in sound driver.

2: Default

ON: Resets installer, sub-installer, and grand master codes to their default factory values

and bypasses main unit front tamper alarm.

OFF: (Default) Preserves the set values for the codes.

3: Extern—Back Tamper

Bypass

ON: Back tamper bypass is in effect. Use this setting during programming and if no back

tamper has been connected to PLUG 2.

OFF: (Default) No tamper bypass is in effect.

4: Intern—Front Tamper

Bypass

ON: Front tamper bypass is in effect. Use this setting when the 2GIG Vario system is

installed inside the metal enclosure.

OFF: (Default) No tampe bypass is in effect.

Connecting BUS Detectors

Up to 23 addressable BUS detectors can be assigned to the 2GIG Vario system. BUS detectors can be wired to the main BUS or to a BUS zone expander.

For full installation instructions, refer to the instructions supplied with each BUS detector.

Connecting BUS Detectors to the Main 2GIIG Vario System BUS

1. Set the BUS detector ID number (1–32) using the detector's DIP switches.

NOTE: For WatchOUT, LuNAR, WatchIN, BWare, and Seismic, set the switch that defines the detector operation mode to BUS mode.

2. Wire the BUS terminal's AUX (RED), COM (BLK), BUS (YEL, and BUS (GRN) to the 2GIG Vario system BUS.

NOTE: For maximum operation stability, it is best NOT to exceed a total of 300 meters (1000 feet) of wiring from the BUS detector to the

2GIGVario system panel.

Connecting BUS Detectors Using a BUSZone Expander

1. Set the BUS zone expander ID number (1–3) using the DIP switches SW1 1–3.

2. Set the BUS zone expander SW2–3 to ON.

3. Wire the BUS zone expander terminals labeled TO PANEL to the 2GIG Vario system BUS.

2GIG Vario Quick Install Guide

4. Set the BUS detector ID number (1–32) using the detector's DIP switches.

NOTE: Do not repeat the same ID twice on the same BUS zone expander.

5. Wire each detector's BUS terminals to the relevant BUS zone expander's terminal labeled TO DEVICE.

NOTE: For maximum operation stability, it is best NOTto exceed a total of 300 meters (1000 feet) of wiring from the BUS zone

expander to the 2GIG Vario system panel, and 300 meters (1000 feet) of wiring from the BUS zone expander to the last BUS

detector.
