Overview
2GIG install accessory — desktop kits, stands, trim rings, enclosure kits, and other hardware supporting panel or sensor installation.
On 2GIG systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
