Overview
2GIG ePlus extended-range sensor — 900 MHz family for large properties requiring greater RF reach when used with XCVR2 transceiver hardware.
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.
At a Glance
| Specification | Details |
|---|---|
| Wireless | 900 MHz ePlus to XCVR2 transceiver |
| Range | Extended vs standard 345 MHz — still requires placement test |
| Types | Contact, motion, glass, smoke — ePlus SKU per function |
| Host requirement | Panel + XCVR2 programmed correctly |
What This Device Does Well
Provides reliable supervised status at the panel and Alarm.com when installed, enrolled, and range-tested correctly.
Before You Service or Replace One
- Sensor SKU — standard 345 MHz vs eSeries encrypted vs ePlus 900 MHz.
- Panel online — resolve panel AC/cell trouble before blaming sensor.
- Range — repeaters (RPTR1) or transceivers (XCVR2) for distant zones.
- Battery type — use listed cell; replace all batteries in multi-cell devices.
- Tamper — cover fully closed before declaring hardware fault.

Compatible Peripherals
This page lists 2GIG ecosystem compatibility — panels, transceivers, repeaters, and monitoring platforms — not third-party panel brands unless using an approved takeover path.
Host compatibility
| Host / ecosystem | How it connects |
|---|---|
| XCVR2 900 MHz transceiver | Required RF host for ePlus sensors |
| GC2e / GC3e / Edge | Panel supervising transceiver |
Not compatible / common mistakes
- ePlus sensors on 345 MHz-only receiver without XCVR2
- Assuming ePlus replaces repeater needs in all floor plans
Replacement guidance
- Match SKU and encryption generation on product label before ordering.
- Delete old zone/device in installer programming before enrolling replacement.
- Document zone number and name for user and central station records.
- Run walk test and communication test after swap on monitored accounts.
