Introduction
Before you get started, review this information.
About this Guide
This guide applies to the GC3 and GC3e security panels. All references to the GC3 panel, unless otherwise noted, apply
to both the GC3 and GC3e.
This guide is designed for distributors, alarm dealers, and professional installers of the GC3 Security & Automation
System. It provides general system information, safety precautions, and step-by-step instructions for installing and
setting up the system. It is intended for use only by professional installers who are employed by or under contract with an
authorized 2GIG alarm dealer.
For a list of 2GIG alarm dealers and distributors in your area, visit: http://www.nortekcontrol.com or http://www.2gig.com.
Introduction to Smart Areas™
Smart Areas is 2GIG’s new partitioning solution. Partitioning is the process of dividing security sections of a home or
building into smaller areas so that users can arm some sections of the house while leaving other areas disarmed. This
provides home and building owners both security and convenience, as it allows them to walk through their structure
without concern of tripping alarms for areas they’d like to keep secure and armed. Some examples of partitioning use
cases include:
»Arming a section of a room that contains a safe that contains gun collections or valuables. These areas may not be
accessed as frequently as the other areas in the room.
»Having a portion of the home designated for use by others, such as guests or property rentals. Partitioning enables
the homeowner to arm some sections of the house they’d like to be ‘off limits’ to other people.
»Disarming the garage while the homeowner is at work to allow a package to be delivered and stored safely on the
premises.
»Secure swimming pool or spa area to help reduce the risk of drowning accidents. In California, it is now required
that newly-built pools and spas include at least one safety measure, including an alarm.
Smart Areas was designed for ease of setup and everyday use. For installation, the process for adding device enrollments
has been simplifi ed. All smart area parameters are displayed on the screen for quick scanning. This reduces time for the
installer, who with legacy partitioning systems would have to memorize the codes and work fl ow, in addition to working
through each parameter in a list to verify them. With the addition of Smart Areas, the GC3 becomes a self-contained
partitioning panel, complete with user interface, controller, wireless transceiver, and communicator (cell radio and/or Wi-Fi)
all-in-one package. This reduces complexity for the installer. All of the equipment is self-contained; there are no modules
that require additional set up procedures.
For the end user, Smart Areas is a one-touch solution that provides Global System Access. They can now access any
partition/Smart Area with appropriate authorization. ‘Arm/Disarm’ and ‘Emergency/Panic’ functions can be accessed
quickly. No matter where in the menu a user fi nds themselves, all they need to do is press the ‘Home’ button and they
immediately return to the ‘Arm/Disarm’ screen. Past partitioning examples required users to swipe from screen to screen.
This added time, complexity and confusion for the user. The simplifi ed user interface will reduce confusion and frustration
for those who may not interact with their security system every day. With the common tasks up front, it’s easy to select
without having to memorize.

Planning the Installation
System Features and Capabilities
If you’re familiar with other 2GIG Control Panels, you’ll notice the new GC3 Panel from Nortek Security & Control off ers
the very best components of the GC2 Panel and has been transformed by a major visual upgrade— off ering a larger
touchscreen and an intuitive user interface featuring convenient, gesture-based navigation.
GC3 Control Panel - Front View
Features
The system includes:
»Touchscreen Display: A large, full-color, 7-in (17.8 cm) diagonal touchscreen with an intuitive, gesture-based user
interface.
»Piezo Sounder and Internal Speaker: An 85 dB Piezo Sounder sounds external alarms. An internal speaker to
delivers voice annunciations, chimes, other system notifi cations.
CAUTION! Long or repeated exposure to sounds at or above 85 dB can lead to Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL).
»Alarm Button/LED Indicator: Tap this button to show Panic, Fire, and Emergency buttons. For more information,
see the GC3 Security & Automation System Fingertip Guide.
»Home Button/LED Indicator: A button to wake the touchscreen and give users the ability to return to the
touchscreen’s Home screen. For more information, see the GC3 Security & Automation System Fingertip Guide.
»Removable Faceplate: A removable faceplate concealing a door lock for the Cellular Radio Module bay.
»Microphone and Speaker: A built-in microphone and speaker provide clear 2-Way Voice communication during
alarm events between users at the GC3 Panel and operators at the Central Station.
»Cellular Radio Module with Internal Antenna: A snap-in Cellular Radio Module with an internal antenna that fi ts
neatly in the side panel.
»24-Hour Backup Battery: A 24-hour backup battery to support the GC3 Panel during temporary AC power failures
and outages.
»USB Port: A convenient USB port at the top of the GC3 Panel that can be used with a USB thumb drive (not
supplied) to update the system’s fi rmware. See “Update the GC3 Panel Firmware.”
»WiFi: The built-in WiFi module allows the system to be connected to a WiFi network for dual path communication,
OTA updates, and connection with secondary keypads.
»Ethernet: (optional) An Ethernet module can be added to the system to allow for a hardwired connection to a local
network for dual path communication, OTA updates, and connection with secondary keypads.
»Access Point: The built-in Access Point allows for a direct connection with secondary keypads via WiFi without
the need to connect to a local network.

Capabilities
The system includes these capabilities:
»Smart Areas: Smart Areas allows for partitioning the system. Partitioning is the process of dividing security
sections of a home or building into smaller areas so that users can arm some sections of the house while leaving
other areas disarmed. This provides home and building owners both security and convenience, as it allows them to
walk through their structure without concern of tripping alarms for areas they’d like to keep secure and armed.
»Security Codes: The system supports a maximum of 100 unique, programmable, security codes for accessing
system functions. You are provided with one (1) Master User Code, one (1) Duress Code, and one (1) Installer
Code (reserved for use by 2GIG alarm dealers and installers), and the ability to create 98 additional user codes for
accessing the system.
»Z-Wave® and Z-Wave Plus™ Compatibility: Installers (and end users, if confi gured on the system) can add up
to 232 smart home devices to communicate with the GC3 Panel using the Z- Wave and Z-Wave Plus wireless
communication protocol. The GC3 Panel can be included and operated in any Z-Wave network with other Z-Wave
certifi ed devices from other manufacturers and/or other applications. All non-battery operated nodes within the
network will act as repeaters regardless of vendor to increase reliability of the network. This device is a security
enabled Z-Wave Plus product that is able to use encrypted Z-Wave Plus messages to communicate to other
security enabled Z-Wave Plus products.
»2-Way Voice: (Optional) Operators at the Central Station can communicate directly with end users through the
GC3 Panel . Operators can also silently listen-in after receiving a user duress report.
»Date, Time, and Weather Forecasts1: Users can view the current date, time, and weather forecast in an easy-to-
read format.
»System Vocabulary/Voice Descriptors: A list of vocabulary words integrates with the on-screen user interface
and audio announcements. This lets installers customize the sensor names that display on the GC3 Panel , as well
as for the audible system announcements. For example, when someone opens the front door, the system can be
set up to announce “front door.”
1 Date, Time and Weather Forecasts are supported by most Remote Service Providers in most regions. Consult your provider to determine if this feature is enabled.
