Overview
The 2GIG GC Touch is a wireless color touchscreen keypad for GC2/GC3 systems — it provides arming, disarming, status, and chime functions while communicating to the panel over the 2GIG wireless network.
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.

Replacement guidance
