Changing 2GIG Wireless Door/Window Sensor

What You Will Need: (2) CR2032 lithium coin batteries, small flathead screwdriver

Battery: Two Panasonic CR2032 or equivalent Lithium batteries

*Please call the Monitoring Center or Lloyd Security before you begin to place the system in Test Mode:

24/7 Monitoring Station: 866-996-7607

Lloyd Security Office (M-F 8am-5pm): 612-874-9296

Inserting and Replacing Batteries

If a supervised sensor battery is low, a low battery notification is indicated on the Control Panel. When the 2GIG system indicates that the sensor has a low battery, replace the battery immediately. Use only the recommended replacement batteries (See Specifications). To install or replace the battery, do the following:

1. To remove the sensor cover, use your finger to press the tab on the end of the case. This disengages the clip holding the cover to the base.
2. Place a small flathead screwdriver in the slot between the metal clip and battery and twist the screwdriver slightly while holding back one of the black plastic edges holding the battery.
3. Insert the replacement battery with the + sign facing out.
4. Verify programming and RF communication with the Control Panel (see Testing).

WARNING: The polarity of the battery must be observed, as shown. Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in heat generation, explosion or fire, resulting in personal injuries. Replace only with the same or equivalent type of battery as recommended by the manufacturer (see Specifications).

Batteries must not be recharged, disassembled or disposed of in fire. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the waste recovery and recycling regulations in your area. Keep Away From Small Children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly seek medical attention.

California Only: This Perchlorate warning applies only to Manganese Dioxide Lithium

Testing

• Open the Door/Window Contact (separate the magnet from the sensor). This action causes the Control Panel to display the open zone with the assigned descriptor on top of the screen. The Security Button becomes yellow (showing that a zone is open).

 **Call your monitoring station or Lloyd Security and place your system “On Test” before changing the batteries

1. You will need a 3.0 Lithium CR123 A battery.
2. Press and pinch the short ends of the contact to release the cover tab (the side with the lip will release first).
3. Lift open the cover on the sensor
4. Replace the batteries with CR123 in the same position as the old battery
5. Snap the cover back onto the sensor. 

** If you are having trouble with the sensor or are still receiving “Low Battery” or “Tamper” alarms, call our Service Department at (612) 874-9295 to schedule one of our technicians to come out.

If a supervised PIR battery is low, a low battery notification is indicated on the Control Panel’s touch screen. If indicated, replace the battery immediately. Use only the recommended replacement batteries (See Specifications). • Remove back cover by unscrewing bottom screw and pull back cover from bottom to top. Observe the polarity of the battery. See Figure 2. WARNING: Improper handling of lithium batteries may result in heat generation, explosion or fire, resulting in personal injuries. Replace only with the same or equivalent type of battery as recommended by the manufacturer (see Specifications). Batteries must not be recharged, disassembled or disposed of in fire. Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with the waste recovery and recycling regulations in your area.

Keep Away From Small Children. If batteries are swallowed, promptly seek medical attention.

Installing and Mounting

1. Remove the screw from the bottom of the case and open the PIR (see Figure 1).
2. Install the 3V Lithium battery from the box.
3. Set the left jumper (PET IMMUNITY) to either 33 lbs. (15 kg) or 55 lbs. (25 kg; default). (see Figure 2) 3 Set the right jumper (SENSITIVITY) to either LO (default) or HI (see Figure 2).
4. Press and release the tamper switch to begin the power up process. 5 Wait 10 seconds for the PIR to fully power up.

**Call your monitoring station or Lloyd Security and place your system “On Test” before changing the batteries. 

1. You will need 1-2 AA Alkaline or Lithium Batteries (Note: replace with EXACTLY what is currently in the device or the device may malfunction).
2. With your fingers, press on tab on the top of the motion to release the detector from its base.
3. Separate the motion detector from the base. Be cognizant of the tamper spring located on the back of the motion. Wireless GE Motion Detector Help Guide
4. Looking at the back of the motion detector take note of the two (2) tabs at the top and one (1) tab on the bottom. You will be pressing these to release the cover of the motion detector from the body.
5. Hold the motion with one hand and firmly squeeze to slightly bow the cover of the motion. Take your other hand and put your fingers on the top two (2) tabs. Press down and use a “pull & wiggle” technique to release the top portion of the motion.
6. Flip the motion upside down and repeat the technique on the bottom tab (only one tab on the bottom) to release the bottom half of the motion. 
7. Once the body of the motion is far enough off of the cover you should be able separate the body from the cover and you see the battery or batteries on the side(s) of the motion.
8. Replace the old batteries with new. Make sure you replace with on EXACTLY the same side, same number of battery or batteries, and same model (Alkaline or Lithium).
9. When finished, snap the cover back onto the body.
10. Take the motion detector and snap it back onto the base starting from the bottom up and making sure the tamper switch is straight on and not bent.
11. Hit the Status button to see if the “Low Battery” signal cleared

**If you are having trouble with the sensor or are still receiving “Low Battery” or “Tamper” alarms, call our Service Department at (612) 874-9295 to schedule one of our technicians to come out.

**Call your monitoring station or Lloyd Security and place your system “On Test” before changing the batteries 

1. You will need (2) CR123 Lithium Batteries.
2. Use one hand to firmly hold the base of the glass break. Use the other hand to lift off the cover from the bottom.
3.  Take note of the polarity of the batteries and the tamper spring on the left side located below the batteries. Ensure the tamper spring does not fall out during battery replacement, otherwise the tamper signal will not clear from the system. **Commonly there is a screw in the spring do NOT pull screw out of tamper spring**
4.  Remove the old batteries. Wait 10 seconds, and replace new batteries with the positive (+) polarities facing each other.
5.  Place cover back on base by squaring up the cover with the base and pushing the cover straight on the base (ensuring tamper spring gets pressed down and does not get bent).
6.  Hit the Status button to see if the “Low Battery” signal cleared

**If you are having trouble with the sensor or are still receiving “Low Battery” or “Tamper” alarms, call our Service Department at (612) 874-9295 to schedule one of our technicians to come out.

What You Will Need: (3) AAA Alkaline batteries
