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.
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.
GC2.5 Wireless Security System | User Guide Burglary Protection VIEWING EACH SENSOR’S STATUS The Control Panel will also show you which sensor-protected doors and windows are open. Your installer has programmed descriptive names for each sensor-protected door and window. The Control Panel’s color display will show the names of which doors and windows are open. ●● The top of the display on the Home, Security, and Menu screens shows sensor status. See “System Status Icons” on page 23.
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.
