2GIG DREC2 319

The 2GIG Go!Control alarm system is outfitted with a 345 MHz receiver from the factory. The 2GIG DREC2-319 is a dual-frequency receiver that accepts both 319.5 MHz and 345 MHz RF signals from security sensors. Most Interlogix/GE, and Qolsys wireless security sensors transmit at a 319.5 MHz frequency.

Essentially this product allows your 2GIG GC2 security system to integrate Interlogix/GE or Qolsys security sensors. This dual-frequency receiver allows end users to combine the technological advantages of a 2GIG Go!Control alarm system while also having access to the versatile line of Interlogix/GE and Qolsys wireless sensors.

For those users who may be upgrading to a 2GIG GC2 system from an older Interlogix/GE alarm system, the use of the 2GIG DREC2-319 dual-frequency receiver means that you can continue using any existing 319.5 MHz sensors you already have installed. This allows you to save a good deal of money since you won't have to replace any existing sensors that are still functioning properly. For a list of products that are known to work with no issues, and a few that are known to work with minor issues, check out the compatibility document.

The DREC2-319 and its documentation were created before the Qolsys product line came into popular use. Consequently, none of the Qolsys wireless sensors are listed on the compatibility document, nor have they been tested. Also, any Qolsys wireless sensor that is capable of S-Line rolling code encryption will not be encrypted if used with the DREC2-319. The use of Qolsys 319.5 MHz wireless sensors with the DREC2-319 may require some trial and error.

Keep in mind, the 2GIG Go!Control panel can only support one add-on receiver. If you are using or plan to use the 2GIG XCVR2-345 transceiver, then you cannot also use the DREC2-319. The XCVR2-345 is required for integrating any of the following bi-directional products: Go!Bridge IP communicator, TS-1 wireless touchscreen keypad, and the IMAGE1 Image Sensor. If your system requires the XCVR2 and you are trying to use GE wireless sensors, you can source the RE524X Universal Wireless Translator from Alula (formerly Resolution Products).
