    2GIG EDGE Certified Trainer Course reference pages: sensor types, loop numbers, equipment types/codes, and voice descriptor codes for programming 2GIG GC2/GC2e/GC3/GC3e control panels.

    Sensor Types (Zones)

    Sensor type is required for every wired and wireless zone. It determines how and when the panel responds to signals from that sensor.

    Type Description
    (00) Unused No sensor programmed; no system action.
    (01) Exit/Entry 1 For entry/exit doors. Triggers Exit Delay when arming, Entry Delay 1 when triggered while armed. Disarm before Entry Delay 1 expires or an alarm occurs.
    (02) Exit/Entry 2 Same as Exit/Entry 1 but uses the adjustable Entry Delay 2 timer (e.g. garage door, needs more time).
    (03) Perimeter Doors/windows not used for entry/exit. Instant alarm when triggered while armed (Stay or Away).
    (04) Interior Follower For interior motion sensors. Instant alarm when armed Away (after exit delay); delayed if an entry sensor trips first. Always bypassed in Stay mode.
    (05) Day Zone Like Perimeter, but a violation while disarmed shows a trouble alert (no alarm) — useful for sensitive-area notification.
    (06) 24-Hour Silent Alarm Always active. Sends a silent panic alarm to Central Station with no local visual/audible indication.
    (07) 24-Hour Audible Alarm Always active. Triggers local alarm and bell output regardless of system mode (e.g. audible panic).
    (08) 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm Always active. Triggers local sounder (no bell) continuously until acknowledged — typical for flood/temperature sensors.
    (09) 24-Hour Fire † Always active, cannot be bypassed. Triggers fire sounder and bell — for wireless smoke detectors.
    (10) Interior with Delay Delayed sensor in Away mode (starts Entry Delay 1); instant if armed instant; bypassed if armed Stay.
    (14) 24-Hour Carbon Monoxide † Always active, cannot be bypassed. For wireless CO detectors.
    (16) 24-Hour Fire with Verification † Always active. Requires 2 violations in 2 minutes or a sustained 30-second violation to confirm — for smoke detectors.
    (23) No Response Type Monitored by Central Station for activity/inactivity; doesn't affect security status (e.g. doorbell, liquor cabinet).
    (24) Silent Burglary Instant silent alarm on perimeter doors/windows not used for entry/exit; no sounder/bell activation.

    † = not allowed for hardwired loops.

    Sensor Loop Numbers

    Every wireless sensor has at least Loop 1. Sensors with multiple trigger conditions use additional loop numbers (e.g., a Smoke/Heat/Freeze detector uses Loop 1 = smoke, Loop 2 = heat, Loop 3 = freeze). Always verify against the sensor's own installation instructions for exact loop assignment.

    Sensor Trigger & Loop
    Thin Door/Window Contact Wired = Loop 1, Not wired = Loop 2
    Outdoor Wireless Contact Wired = Loop 1, Not wired = Loop 2
    Recessed Door Contact, PIR Motion, Glass Break, CO Detector, Micro Sensor w/Bypass, Tilt, Panic Button, Fall Pendant, Doorbell, Image Sensor, Smoke Ring, FireFighter, Takeover Module, Gun Motion Detector Always = Loop 1
    Smoke/Heat/Freeze Detector Smoke = Loop 1, Heat = Loop 2, Freeze = Loop 3
    Flood/Temperature Sensor Flood = Loop 1, Heat = Loop 2, Freeze = Loop 3
    Water Leak Detector Cold = Loop 1, Heat = Loop 2, Flood = Loop 3
    Stove & Grill Guard Sensor Always = Loop 2

    For Honeywell 5800 series sensors, use their own instructions for loop number assignment.

    Sensor Equipment Type

    Required only when the Sensor Type is (04) Interior Follower, (06) 24-Hour Silent Alarm, (07) 24-Hour Audible Alarm, (08) 24-Hour Auxiliary Alarm, (10) Interior with Delay, or (23) No Response Type. Options include Motion, Contact, Emergency, Freeze, Water, and Temperature, depending on sensor type — see the full equipment type table in the downloadable PDF for exact per-type mappings.

    Equipment Codes (Selected)

    Required for programming all wireless zones, keyfobs, and keypads. eSeries sensors must use an eSeries equipment code and only work with GC2e/GC3e panels.

    † eSeries (encrypted) sensors only work with GC2e and GC3e panels and must be entered correctly. Full 60+ code table (including hardwired equivalents like HW D/W "5816", HW PIR "5890", etc.) is in the downloadable PDF.

    Voice Descriptors

    Every wireless and wired zone requires a voice descriptor — a 3-digit code that maps to a spoken word/phrase announced by the panel (e.g., "Front," "Door," "Motion," "Basement"). The full reference includes 280+ descriptor codes covering rooms (Kitchen, Garage, Bedroom, Basement...), sensor types (Smoke, Glass Break, Motion Detector, Water...), numbers (One through One Hundred), and system terms (Armed, Bypass, Chime, Ready, Trouble...). See the downloadable PDF for the complete alphabetical code table used when naming zones during programming.
