INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
The 2GIG-FT6-345 is a fully supervised, one-way 345 MHz sensor. It will monitor the
ambient temperature and/or will detect a wet/dry ood condition. The sensor reports
wet/dry conditions and temperature to the panel.
Flood Conditions
Once the sensor probe detects the presence of water, the integral transmitter will
immediately send a loop 3 wet alarm transmission to the panel. The probe will also
send a restore (dry) report when the presence of liquid is no longer detected. The
sensor is capable of detecting clean or dirty fresh water, salt water, or tap water.
The 2GIG-FT6-345 utilizes a unique design that can detect leaks dripping onto it’s
top or if there is water under the device. This dual sensing technology is perfect for
placement under P Traps or hoses that may leak, giving a warning just as the leak
starts. If a leak occurs at a different location as water is sensed under the device, it
will also send an alert.
Temperature Conditions
Heat:
1. If the temperature is more than 95° F (35°C) for three (3) minutes, the sensor will
send a loop 2 transmission.
2. If the temperature is less than 95°F (35°C) for three (3) minutes, the sensor will
send a loop 2 clear.
Cold:
1. If the temperature is less than 41°F (5°C) for three (3) minutes, the sensor will
send a loop 1 transmission.
2. In the temperature is more than 41°F (5°C) three (3) minutes, the sensor will
send a loop 1 clear.
Contents
Verify that the package includes the following:
• 1 — 2GIG Flood/Temperature Sensor
• 1 — 3V CR123A Lithium Battery

Installing Temperature Sensor
The 2GIG-FT6-345 Flood and Temperature Sensor can be easily placed in any
location. If placed specically under a potential leak source, use the included optional
double stick tape to secure it in the desired location (see Figure 6).
Figure 4. Suggested Installation Locations
Place the sensor in locations
that have the potential of
water leaks or ooding.
For example:
• Under the sink pipes
• Adjacent to water heaters
• Adjacent to toilets
• Adjacent to bathtubs or
showers
• Under or near your
dishwasher
• Near washer and dryer
