2GIG Wireless Secondary Push Button Keypad (2GIG-PAD1-345)
The battery powered secondary wireless push button keypad that works with our 2GIG security and home automation controller. WARNING: We highly recommend that you consider a TS1 secondary touch screen instead of this keypad because it often causes false alarms for the following reasons.
- The 2GIG-PAD1-345 does not make any entry delay beeping noise reminding you to disarm your system when you enter your home. Therefore if you cannot hear the main control panel beeping when you enter your home where the 2GIG-PAD1-345 is located then you are likely to forget to disarm your system causing a false alarm.
- The 2GIG-PAD1-345 does not give you any confirmation that you have successfully disarmed your system after you enter your PIN code. Therefore if you cannot hear the main control panel confirm that you have disarmed your system where the 2GIG-PAD1-345 is located then you might accidentally fail to enter the correct PIN code and you will not know the system is still armed until the alarm goes off, causing a false alarm. This can be due to entering the wrong code, pressing the buttons too fast or not pressing the buttons all the way down.
If you are certain that these will not be problems for you then you may go ahead and order the 2GIG-PAD1-345. The 2GIG-PAD1-345 may still be useful in certain situations such as in locations where you can clearly hear the entry delay and disarm confirmation from the main control panel. The 2GIG-PAD1-345 may be easier to use for those who have difficulty operating touch screens.
