Programming a Key Fob for a 2GIG GC2e

In this video, Michael shows you how to program a key fob for a 2GIG GC2e Security System. The 2GIG GC2e uses 345 MHz key fobs, such as the Honeywell 5834-4 and the 2GIG KEY2-345. It can also use the encrypted 2GIG KEY2e-345, which is built specifically for the GC2e and GC3e. However, all key fobs for the system enroll in the same way.

A key fob is a small, handheld device that you can use to arm and disarm your system while you are on-site. It can be more convenient than having to get up to control your system, or open up a mobile app on your phone. Some key fob devices can also be used to trigger an alarm on the system in the event of an emergency, such as a break in. You may even use a key fob as a sort of "medical alert device" for an elderly or disabled loved one to carry around in the event of a slip or fall.

The 2GIG GC2e has a section within System Configuration dedicated to key fob programming. This is Q3 for key fob programming. Up to eight (8) key fob devices can be enrolled with a GC2e. When programming the key fob, you will apply various settings so that the device works in the way that you want it to. Another big part of programming a key fob involves enrolling the Serial Number and configuring the Equipment Code for the key fob slot so that the system can properly recognize the signals from the device.

After you have programmed the key fob, make sure to test it out so that you are sure that it works in the way that you want. If you plan to test the panic feature for the key fob, then remember to put your system on test mode first. The 2GIG GC2e only allows 2GIG Key Fobs to trigger emergency panics. Honeywell Key Fobs like the 5834-4 can be used to arm and disarm, but they cannot trigger panic alarms on the GC2e. For a 2GIG Key Fob like the KEY2e-345, you trigger a panic by pressing and holding the top two buttons on the key fob.
