VERSA-2GIG
Honeywell Lyric and 2GIG Compatible Sensor
Description
Update: There has been another update to the VERSA-2GIG Sensor. It now programs using Loop 2, which is the same as the original style. However, the new slide-off cover and the single tab to indicate proper magnet position have both been retained. If you have a VERSA-2GIG with a slide-off cover and a single notch indicator on the side, then it may program using Loop 1 or Loop 2. The best way to determine which type you have is to auto-enroll the sensor rather than manually entering the Serial Number. By auto-enrolling, the correct Loop Number will be automatically entered. If you have a VERSA-2GIG with a pop-off cover and five (5) notches to indicate magnet position, then it will definitely use Loop 2.
Users who are looking for an affordable and effective door and window contact sensor can receive great results with the VERSA-2GIG. This surface-mount sensor has a sleek and compact design that will fit in with almost any decor. It is white in color with a yellow control board on the inside.
The VERSA-2GIG contact is the exact same sensor as the best-selling 5800MINI. The only difference is that it works on the 2GIG sensor frequency (345MHz), rather than the Honeywell 5800 Series frequency. It works with all 2GIG panels, like the GC2 and GC3. But since the Lyric added 2GIG sensor compatibility (firmware MR3), it works equally well with the Lyric Security System Security System. Yet, it costs much less than the Honeywell 5800MINI. The VERSA-2GIG also works with all 345 MHz versions of the Qolsys panels. These include the IQ Panel 4, the IQ4 Hub, and the IQ Pro.
Please note that some versions of the VERSA-2GIG will use Loop 2 when programming into an alarm system. Any VERSA-2GIG with a pop-off cover will enroll using Loop 2. However, any VERSA-2GIG Sensor with a slide-off cover will instead enroll using Loop 1. Keep this in mind when enrolling your sensors. The slide-off VERSA-2GIG Sensors that use Loop 1 are the newer models. The ones with the pop-off cover that use Loop 2 are the older models.
Additionally, the newer VERSA-2GIG Sensors (Loop 1) have a small tab on the side to help you determine which side should be lined up with the magnet. Older style sensors (Loop 2) have five (5) distinct side indentations for this purpose. The dimensions for all VERSA-2GIG Sensors (old and new) are 2.2"L x 1"W x 0.3"D. It uses a replaceable CR2032 coin battery, with an average battery life of 5 years.
