Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide SYSTEM OVERVIEW This system provides three (3) forms of protection: burglary, fire, and emergency, depending on the options set by your installer. The system consists of a Control Panel with a color touch screen, wireless sensors that provide perimeter and interior burglary protection, and wireless smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. In addition, optional remote control key fobs, wireless panic buttons and keypads may have been provided or installed. The system monitors all protection “zones” and the system’s status. The Control Panel displays monitoring information and controls the alarm siren. Your system may have also been setup to send alarm and status reports to a Central Station and may have the capability for 2-way voice communications with the alarm monitoring operator. FEATURES The following is a list of standard features and options that can be included in your system. Ask your installer which options are available, and check the boxes that apply. ●● Stay and Away arming modes: Stay mode arms the system perimeter only and is used typically at night when the premises are occupied. Away mode arms the system perimeter and interior; it is used when the premises are unoccupied. ●● 60 user-unique 4-digit codes to operate the system: The system supports one (1) master user code that can assign and maintain the other user codes. ●● One of the 60 user codes functions as a duress code. Controlling the system with this code gives the appearance of normal operation, but using it sends a silent duress report to the Central Station to initiate a silent alarm call for help. ●● Voice announcements from the Control Panel: The system has a vocabulary of descriptive words that can be assigned to sensors so each has a unique announcement such as “front door” or “bedroom window” if desired. ●● Home automation with the built-in Z-Wave controller for remote control of Z-Wave enabled home appliances (optional feature). ●● Alarm history with system event log: Each alarm and system alert is logged into the system’s memory. These events can be displayed and reviewed at the Control Panel or reviewed remotely by the Central Station. ●● Real-time clock and calendar appears on the system’s display and is used to time stamp items in the event log. 2-way voice communication: After an alarm, the system can automatically connect with a Central Station operator to converse with people in the premises. Remote control of the system using a Web-enabled device through the Internet.* Three optional 24-hour emergency functions: Panic, Fire, and Emergency. These functions can be activated by pressing buttons on the Control Panel, using wireless sensors, using the wireless keypad or using portable pendant devices (such as the panic button remote). * Requires the optional Cellular Radio Module. Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide System Overview BASIC OPERATION Messages The following are general operational concepts that your system supports. Understanding these concepts will help you to use your security system to its fullest extent. Your security system supports receiving messages from the Central Station. The messages detail system upgrades, additional services, special regional weather alerts, etc. Sensor Types/Zones Trouble Alerts The system’s wireless sensors have been assigned to selected “types” (often called “zones”). The sensor type determines how and when the system will react to a signal from the sensor. Some sensors are armed 24 hours a day. Other sensors are armed only when the system is armed. The system monitors itself for abnormal operating conditions and will alert you if trouble is detected. Trouble conditions can be reported to the Central Station. Wireless Sensors Your security system comes with wireless sensors. Some sensors are visible, but others may be hidden by doorjambs or where the sensor is mounted. Depending on your type of installation and the amount of sensors installed with the Control Panel, sensors can include but are not limited to the following: Smoke, Heat, and Freeze Protection If wireless smoke, heat, and freeze detectors have been installed in your system, they are armed 24 hours a day. They will sound an alarm when smoke is detected and can report the fire alarm to the Central Station. See “Smoke, Heat and Freeze Protection” on page 18 for emergency planning and evacuation information. Door/Window Sensor Glass Break Sensor Burglary Protection CO Sensor Burglary protection is provided by perimeter and interior sensors. When the system is armed in the Away mode, both perimeter and interior sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm. When the system is armed in the Stay mode, only the perimeter sensors are armed and can trigger an alarm. Key Fob Motion Detector Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarm Panic Remote Button Wireless Touch Screen Keypad Both arming modes offer an Exit Delay that allows time to exit the premises without triggering the alarm. Upon re-entry, an Entry Delay is enabled that allows you time to disarm the system. You can set sensors to sound a chime and/or a voice announcement when they are triggered. This allows you to monitor your doors and windows while the system is disarmed. For more details, see “Burglary Protection” on page 8. User Codes The system installer has already programmed a master user code for your system. This code can be used to control the system as well as assign and change the other user codes. The master user code can also access several system setup settings in the User Toolbox. Alarms When an alarm occurs, the Control Panel’s siren and an external siren (if installed) sound for a preset period of time. During active alarms and after disarming, the alarm history button displays all the activated alarms and the sensors that were involved. The alarm history clears the next time the system is armed or can be cleared manually.

Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide BURGLARY PROTECTION When your system was set up by your installer, wireless sensors were placed to monitor specific doors and windows. The installer selected these doors and windows as likely places where an unlawful intrusion may occur and be detected. Each sensor was programmed to have the system react in a specific way. See "Installer Programmed Options" on page 34 for specifics about each sensor. Some sensor types (such as smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, panic buttons, etc.) are always active and can trigger an alarm at any time. Other sensors on protected doors and windows are part of the burglary protection part of the system that can be turned on or off. Turning on the burglary protection part of the security system is called “Arming the System". The burglary protection part of the system can be armed in two modes: Stay mode or Away mode.

This security system has been evaluated and complies with UL 1610. For commercial installations (UL 1610), only one method of communication is to be used. This method of communication is a Cell Radio Module. Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Burglary Protection SENSOR STATUS The security system constantly monitors all of the sensors attached to the protected doors and windows in your home or business. The Control Panel knows if each door or window with sensors is open or closed. The open or closed condition of the protected doors and windows is called the sensor status. For maximum security, all the doors and windows on your premises should be closed when you leave the building. In some cases, such as when using the security system when you stay at home, you may want to leave some doors or windows open. The system recognizes bypasses to resolve the open doors or windows. See "Bypassing/Un-Bypassing Sensors" on page 11. NOTE: Before you can arm the system, you must close or bypass all doors and windows with sensors. CHECKING FOR CLOSED SENSORS In most cases, you will be arming the security system with all of the sensor-protected doors and windows closed. The Control Panel provides easy ways to verify that all the sensor-protected doors and windows are closed before arming the system: button lights green when all perimeter sensors are closed. The Home ●● The Home perimeter sensor is open.

Other icons can appear here as well. See “System Status Icons” on page 23. DEALING WITH A SENSOR FALSE ALARM When armed, the Control Panel reports alarm conditions on all sensors, both visually (on the status bar, and through a system alert icon) and audibly (through voice and chime announcements). There are rare times when an sensor will send a false alarm condition to the Control Panel. The conditions of a false alarm vary depending on the type of sensor and how that sensor communicates with the Control Panel. ●● Perform a System, Sensor, and Panel Test to find any false alarm conditions. See "System Test" on page 29. See "Sensor Test" on page 29. See "Panel Test" on page 30. 10 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Burglary Protection SENSOR BYPASSING To force bypass all open sensors: Before the system can be armed, all protected doors and windows must be closed or bypassed. You can bypass open sensors on protected doors or windows before arming the system. When a sensor is bypassed, the system ignores that the door or window is open. Two types of sensor bypasses are available: Ensure a sensor is open, such as a door or window. At the Security or Menu screen, tap the YELLOW Arm button. At the Bypass screen, tap Bypass All. This forces the system to bypass all of the open sensors in the list, including any open interior sensors. At the Enter Code screen, enter a valid user code to bypass the sensor. ●● Forced ●● Manual In some cases (such as when using the security system for protection when staying at home), it may be desirable to leave some sensor-protected doors or windows open. Temporarily bypassing a sensor for this situation is called Force Bypassing. NOTE: The Quick Bypass feature can also be configured by the installer. For details, refer to the Control Panel’s Installation & Programming Guide. NOTE: Force bypasses are automatically removed when the system is disarmed. At the Ready to Arm (Sensors Bypassed) screen, tap Stay or Away. Later, when you disarm the system, the bypassed sensors are returned to their normal state. Bypassing/Un-Bypassing Sensors To add or remove sensors on the system’s bypass list: Sensor bypassing is also sometimes used when a sensor requires service. A sensor’s magnet may be missing, or an external switch contact connected to a sensor may be faulty. This causes the sensor to report as open to the Control Panel. At the Home screen, tap Menu. At the Menu screen, tap Toolbox. Enter a valid user code to gain access to the Toolbox. At the Toolbox (1 of 3) screen, tap Bypassed Sensors. At the Bypassed Sensors screen, choose one of these options: ●● Adding a sensor to the bypassed list. Tap the BLUE button that corresponds to the desired sensor. When the button turns YELLOW, the system will bypass the sensor. In these conditions, you may need to schedule a service call with your qualified alarm service technician to repair or replace the troubled sensor. If the security system needs to be armed before the sensor can be serviced, the sensor can be manually bypassed so the rest of the system can be armed. Depending on programming, manual bypasses can remain in place until they are manually removed. ●● Viewing Only Bypassed Sensors. Place a check-mark in the Show Bypassed Only box. ●● Removing a sensor from the bypassed list. Tap the YELLOW button that corresponds to the desired sensor. The button turns BLUE when it is no longer on the bypassed list. NOTE: Bypassed Sensors offer no protection and cannot cause an alarm. Use Bypass if you want to arm your system with one or more sensors open and intentionally unprotected. Force Bypass All Sensors If any sensors are open when the system is disarmed, the Arm button on the panel turns YELLOW. When you tap the Arm button, the system automatically reveals the Bypass screen which lets you arm the system while forcing it to bypass all open sensors. 11 When finished, tap Back. Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Burglary Protection STAY MODE Quick Exit in Stay Mode Use Stay mode to partially arm the system when individuals will be occupying the premises. This arms only the sensor-protected perimeter doors and windows. This leaves interior motion sensors or other interior doors unarmed. A programmable option, called Quick Exit may be displayed on the Security screen while the system is armed in Stay mode. Tap the Quick Exit button to start a timer that allows someone to exit or enter through a sensor-protected door that is programmed for delay without having to disarm the entire system. When the delay timer runs out, the system returns to the normal Stay mode. In a home setting, Stay mode is typically used during the evening hours when occupants are no longer expected to leave or enter the premises. This allows occupants to move about the premises without triggering the burglary alarm. Because all the interior burglary protection is OFF, an alarm would only be triggered when a sensor-protected perimeter door or window is opened. Entry Delay in Stay Mode Certain sensors, such as a door, can be configured by your installer to use a delay timer before triggering an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to enter using a predetermined door to disarm the system before an alarm is triggered. The Quick Exit option can be turned ON or OFF by the installer. See "Installer Programmed Options", on page 34, to understand the options that have been programmed for your system. To arm the system using an Entry Delay: At the Security or Menu screen, tap the Arm button. At the Ready to Arm screen, place a check-mark in the Entry Delay box. This is the default setting. SILENT CONTROL IN STAY MODE Three options for silencing the beeps and announcements are available when arming or disarming the system in Stay Mode.

Close all protected perimeter doors and windows before arming. button on the Control Panel Verify that the Home illuminates GREEN, indicating that the system is ready to arm. The Security and Arm buttons on the display are GREEN when all sensors are closed. AWAY MODE Away mode is for arming the system when everyone is leaving the premises. Away mode arms all sensorprotected perimeter doors and windows, interior motion sensors, interior glass break sensors and any other sensor-protected interior doors. The premises must be unoccupied while the system is armed. Away mode is typically used for arming the system during the daytime hours in a residential location, and non-business hours in a commercial location. When the system is armed in Away mode, you cannot move about the premises without triggering the burglary alarm (if the system is installed with interior motion detectors). An alarm also occurs if any sensor-protected door or window is opened or glass breakage is detected (if glass breakage detectors are installed in your system). NOTE: If you want to arm the system quietly without sounding any announcements, tap before performing these steps: Exit and Entry Delays in Away Mode Certain sensors, such as a door, can be setup by your installer to have a delay before triggering an alarm. This provides a way for an authorized person to exit and reenter the premises without triggering an alarm. ●● At Ready to Arm screen, check the box adjacent to the Silent Exit option. Or ●● During Exit Delay tap Silence. ●● Exit Delay allows time to leave after arming the system. At the Security or Menu screen, tap Arm. ●● Entry Delay allows time to enter and disarm the system before an alarm is triggered. NOTE: If any perimeter door or window sensors are open, the Bypass screen appears. Close all the sensors displayed, or tap Bypass All to force bypass the displayed sensors. On the Ready to Arm screen, check the Entry Delay box when arming the system in Stay mode. When arming the system in Away mode, an Entry Delay check box is shown on the Arming screen. By default, this option is checked, so the programmed delay doors allow time for disarming the system after the door is opened. If you clear the Entry Delay box, the delayed alarm trigger is removed from all sensor-protected doors programmed for delay. Those entrances instantly trigger an alarm if they are opened in Away mode. If no one is expected to re-enter, the system can be armed without an Entry Delay. All perimeter doors will trigger the alarm instantly. To arm with instant alarms for all exit/ entry perimeter doors, un-check the box adjacent to the Entry Delay option. NOTE: With the Entry Delay disabled, you must remotely disarm the system with a wireless key fob before entering. NOTE: Bypassed sensors do not trigger an alarm. To bypass sensors, enter a user code unless the installer has set the system for Quick Bypass. The system will arm and shows the Exit Delay counting down. When the Exit Delay expires, the system is fully armed in the Stay mode. Tap Stay to arm the system. 13 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Burglary Protection Exit Delay Restart The Exit Delay Restart option extends the Exit Delay one time if you need to re-enter the premises.

Delayed sensors start the Entry Delay to allow time to disarm the system. Instant sensors trigger the alarm right away. Most sensors trigger the alarm siren, some sensors may be set to trigger a silent alarm without sounding the siren. Burglary Alarm Siren If a burglary alarm is tripped while the system is armed, the Control Panel sounds the alarm siren for a preset time (see "Installer Programmed Options" on page 34). After the time expires, the siren will stop. The system limits the number of times a sensor can retrigger an alarm while the system is armed. The setting is one to six times per sensor, per arming period (see "Installer Programmed Options" on page 34). Alarm Memory If an alarm has occurred while the system was armed, the Disarm screen shows the time and date of the alarm and the sensor(s) that triggered the alarm. The alarm memory automatically clears the next time the system is armed. You can also check the Clear Alarm History box and tap OK to manually clear the alarm memory (24-hour fire and CO sensors that are still violated remain in alarm memory). Optional 2-Way Voice Communications 2-way voice communications provides a method for alarm verification and can provide emergency assistance. The Control Panel contains a built-in microphone that can monitor sounds around the area of the Control Panel. The built-in microphone and speaker allow 2-way voice communications with a Central Station operator after an alarm. The operator can converse with people in the premises through the Control Panel’s speaker and microphone. Your installer can set the system to use 2-way voice communications after an alarm and/or after a panic alarm is triggered. NOTE: If a panic alarm or sensor is set for a silent alarm, the operator can only listen and will not be able to talk. This is for your protection. KEY FOB: ARMING AND DISARMING Your system may be equipped with one or more wireless key fobs. Up to eight (8) key fobs can be used to control the system remotely. Each key fob has four (4) buttons and can perform five (5) functions. A user code is not required when arming or disarming the system with a wireless key fob.

Fire protection is active 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. NOTE: In Turkey, systems are installed with Smoke/Heat alarms. In the event of a fire or poisonous CO gas emergency, the installed smoke or carbon monoxide detector automatically activates your security system. Not only will the fire alarm itself emit a loud sound, the Control Panel emits an intermittent and loud horn on an external sounder (if an external sounder has been installed). The fire alarm sound continues until the timer expires on the Fire Alarm or until you enter a user code at the Control Panel. If the Alarm Sounds: Evacuate all occupants from the premises and call your local Fire Department from a safe location. OR If no flames or smoke are apparent, investigate the causes of the alarm. Go to the Control Panel and enter your user code to stop the fire sounder and sirens. Review the Alarm Memory to determine which sensor caused the alarm. Go to the sensor and look for a possible reason the sensor tripped. Correct the condition that caused the detector to trigger an alarm. Silencing a False Fire Alarm ●● Get out and stay out. Never go back inside for people or pets. If the fire alarm is sounding due to a detector sensing burnt food or some other non-emergency condition: ●● If you have to escape through smoke, get down low and go under the smoke. Silence the fire alarm sounder by entering your user code. Review the alarm memory to determine which sensor caused the alarm (See "Alarm Memory" on page 16). If the alarm restarts, there may still be smoke inside the detector’s sensor. Re-enter your user code to stop the alarm from continuing to sound. IMPORTANT: Always yell “Fire” to alert everyone in proximity. Fan the detector for 30 seconds to clear the detector’s sensor chamber. Go the Control Panel and tap the Emergency button. At the Emergency screen, press and hold the Fire button for two (2) seconds. After the problem has been corrected, from the Alarm Memory screen, check Clear Alarm History, then tap OK. ●● Call the fire department from outside your home. Initiating a Fire Alarm Manually If you become aware of a fire emergency before your detector(s) sense an issue: This action triggers the fire alarm’s sounder and siren. You can also trigger the fire alarm from the wireless keypad by holding down the Fire button. Get out and stay out of the dwelling. Never go back inside for people or pets. Call your local Fire Department from a safe location outside the dwelling. NOTE: Violated Fire and CO sensors clear from Alarm Memory screen only when the sensors return to normal operation.

If the Fire Alarm Sounds Automatically If the fire alarm sirens are sounding: If flames and smoke are present, yell “Fire” to alert everyone else. 18 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Smoke, Heat and Freeze Protection RECOMMENDED FIRE ALARM LOCATIONS In the United States, this equipment shall be installed in accordance with the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 72, (National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269). Printed information describing proper installation, operation, testing, maintenance, evacuation planning, and repair service is to be provided with smoke detectors and alarms. NFPA Standard #72 The National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72 recommends the following placement for smoke detectors: Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all rooms and areas of the household. The equipment should be installed as follows: ●● Install a smoke detector outside each separate sleeping area, in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms and on each additional story of the family living unit, including basements (excludes crawl spaces and unfinished attics). Also install smoke detectors in the living room, dining room, bedrooms, kitchen, hallway(s), finished attics, furnace room, utility/storage rooms and attached garages. 19 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Smoke, Heat and Freeze Protection Do Not Mount a Smoke Alarm Here ●● Directly above a sink, cooker, stove, or oven ●● Within 5 feet (1.5 m) of any cooking appliance ●● Next to a door or window that would be affected by drafts (extractor fan or air vent) ●● Outside ●● In or below a cupboard ●● Where air flow would be obstructed by curtains or furniture ●● Where dirt or dust could collect and block the sensor ●● Where it could be knocked, damaged, or inadvertently removed Fire-warning equipment for residential occupancies are capable of protecting about 50% of the occupants in potentially fatal fires. Victims include the elderly, children, and the physically or mentally impaired. Victims include any persons who cannot escape even when warned early enough that escape should be possible. For these people, other strategies such as protection-in-place or assisted rescue or escape would be necessary. ●● Studies show that Smoke/Heat/Freeze Alarms may not awaken all sleeping individuals. Individuals in the household who are capable of assisting others are responsible for providing assistance to those who may not be awakened by the audible alarm or those who may be incapable of safely evacuating the area unassisted. ●● A battery-powered alarm must have the specific battery type installed, be in good condition, and be mounted properly. ●● The use of alcohol or drugs may also impair the ability to hear the audible alarm. For maximum protection, ensure that an audible alarm is installed on every floor. ●● Smoke/Heat Alarms only provide protection to the residence if smoke actually reaches the alarm. The Smoke/Heat Alarm is not a substitute for an insurance policy. Home owners and renters should have adequate insurance to protect their properties. Emergency Action Plan Establish and regularly practice a plan of escape with all members of your household in the event of fire. The National Fire Protection Association recommends the following steps: Mount your detector or your interior or exterior sounders where they can be heard by all. Determine two means of escape from each room. One path of escape should lead to the door that permits normal exit from the building. The other should be an alternate escape (such as a window) should the path to a door be impassable. Station an escape ladder at such windows if there is a long drop to the ground. Sketch a floor plan of the building. Show windows, doors, stairs, and rooftops that can be used to escape. Indicate escape routes for each room. Keep these routes free from obstructions and post copies of the escape routes in every room. Ensure that all bedroom doors are shut while you are asleep to prevent deadly smoke from entering while you escape. Try the door. If the door is hot, check your alternate escape route. If the door is cool, open it cautiously. Be prepared to slam the door shut if smoke or heat rushes in. When smoke is present, crawl on the ground. Do not walk upright, since smoke rises and may overcome you. Clearer air is near the floor. Escape quickly, but do not panic. Establish a place outdoors, away from your house, where everyone can meet and then take steps to contact the authorities and account for those missing. Choose someone to assure that nobody returns to the house — many die going back. 20 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide EMERGENCY FUNCTIONS 24-HOUR EMERGENCY BUTTONS Three 24-hour emergency functions are available on the Control Panel: ●● Panic ●● Fire ●● Emergency You can activate emergency functions using the Control Panel, as well as wireless sensors, wireless keypads or portable pendant devices such as the panic button remote.

When the system is armed in the Away mode the Exit Delay will begin. With the Auto Stay option on, if a designated exit/entry door does not open and close during the Exit Delay, the system will arm in the Stay mode instead of the Away mode. Auto-bypass open perimeter sensors permanently while armed Allow key fob arming only when all perimeter sensors are closed ●● Off ●● On 35 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide System Toolbox Wireless Keypad Emergency Keys Dialer Delay Each standard wireless keypad has Fire and Police emergency buttons that can be enabled or disabled for each keypad. Refer to the table below for options set for your keypads: If an alarm occurs, the system will delay dialing for a short time to allow you to disarm the system in case the alarm was accidentally tripped. The dialer delay reduces nuisance traffic to the Central Station and can prevent receiving fines that many cities impose when police respond to a false alarm. Your installer also can program the system for no dialer delay. Option 1 2 3 4 Emergency Keys Enabled Emergency Keys Disabled Exit Delay Restart The Exit Delay Restart option will extend the Exit Delay one time if you need to re-enter the premises. When the system is armed in the Away mode or Stay mode, the Exit Delay gives you time to leave without setting off the alarm. With the Exit Delay Restart option, re-entering the premises after you have left, but before the Exit Delay timer expires, will restart the Exit Delay timer, giving you the full length of time to leave again. The restart option only works once, each time the system is armed. ●● Off ●● On Cancel Display NOTE: The dialer delay is also known as the abort window. It gives you time to disarm, but doesn’t delay the siren from sounding. Disarming during the abort window can display a cancel message depending on the Cancel Display setting (see "Cancel Display"). ●● 30 Seconds is the default, or ______ Seconds. 2-Way Voice The system can connect with a Central Station operator so they can converse with people on the premises after an alarm. The 2-way voice option allows communication to and from the Control Panel and the Central Station. 2-way voice communications will occur after the system has made its alarm report. Your installer sets which sensors can trigger the 2-way voice option. ●● Off A “cancel” message will be sent to the Central Station if the system is disarmed within a preset period of time after an alarm is triggered. The system can be set to display that a cancel report was sent, or for higher security, the system can be set not to display the cancel message. ●● On ●● Off ●● On Cancel Time To limit responses to false alarms, a “cancel” message will be sent to the Central Station if the system is disarmed within a preset period of time after an alarm is triggered. The alarm report is always sent, but it will be followed by a cancel report if you disarm the system within the preset time. This option helps the Central Station to determine whether you accidentally caused the alarm or if the alarm was caused by an intruder. It also lets the Central Station know that you have returned to the premises. Even if a cancel message is sent, the Central Station will verify the alarm and possibly dispatch help. The cancel message may be processed by the Central Station at a later time depending on system programming. ●● Five Minutes is the default, or _______ Minutes 36 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide INSTALLER SPECIFIC INFORMATION User Codes Master User User 42 User 2 User 43 User 3 User 44 User 4 User 45 User 5 User 46 User 6 User 47 User 7 User 48 User 8 User 49 User 9 User 50 User 10 User 51 User 11 User 52 User 12 User 53 User 13 User 54 User14 User 55 User 15 User 56 User 16 User 57 User 17 User 58 User 18 User 59 User 19 User 60 User 20 IMPORTANT: If you have logged user codes here to maintain security, keep this guide in a secure location!

For example: ●● Intruders may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device. ●● Intrusion detectors (sensors) do not work without power. Battery operated devices do not work without batteries, with dead batteries, or if the batteries are not put in properly. Devices powered solely by AC do not work if their AC power supply is cut off for any reason, however briefly. ●● Signals sent by wireless sensors may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm Control Panel, even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test. Blockage can occur if a metal object has been moved into the sensor’s signal path. ●● A user may not be able to reach a panic or emergency button quickly enough. ●● Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended, however, occupants may have insufficient time to protect themselves from the emergency situation. In the case of a monitored alarm system, authorities may not respond appropriately. ●● Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells or horns may not alert people or wake up sleepers if they are located on the other side of closed or partly open doors. If warning devices sound on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, then they are less likely to waken or alert people inside the bedrooms. Even persons who are awake may not hear the warning if the alarm is muffled from a stereo, radio, air conditioner, or other appliance, or by passing traffic. Finally, alarm warning devices, however loud, may not warn hearing-impaired people or awaken deep sleepers. ●● While smoke detectors have played a key role in reducing residential fire deaths, they may not activate or provide early warning for a variety of reasons in as many as 35% of all fires, according to data published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Some of the reasons smoke detectors used in conjunction with this system may not work are where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors may have been improperly installed and positioned. Smoke detectors may not sense fires that start where smoke cannot reach the detectors, such as in chimneys, in walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire on another level of a residence or building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a first floor or basement fire. Moreover, smoke detectors have sensing limitations. No smoke detector can sense every kind of fire every time. In general, detectors may not always warn about fires caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children playing with matches, or arson. Depending upon the nature of the fire and/or the locations of the smoke detectors, the detector, even if it operates as anticipated, may not provide sufficient warning to allow occupants to escape in time to prevent injury or death. ●● This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure. Even though this equipment is designed to last as long as ten years, the electronic components could fail at any time. The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when an intrusion or fire occurs is inadequate maintenance. ●● Although, installing an alarm system may make homeowners eligible for lower insurance rates, an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to act prudently in protecting themselves and continue to insure their lives and property. Panel Operating Conditions For optimal performance, the Control Panel should be operated under the following conditions: ●● Operating Temperature 0°C to 49°C (32°F to 120°F) ●● Humidity 0 – 90% Non-condensing 41 Copyright © 2018 Nortek Security & Control GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide LIMITED WARRANTY This Nortek Security & Control LLC product is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for one (1) year.
