Tilt sensor (2GIG-TILT1E-345)

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems

• Correct mounting & testing: we install the sensor near the top panel of the garage door (vertical when closed), verify 45° activation, and confirm restores—so you don’t get nuisance alerts.

• Encrypted where it matters: we pair the TILT1e with your GC2e/GC3e/EDGE panel for authenticated, tamper-resistant signaling and label events clearly in your app.

• Range & battery validation: we RF-test to the panel (~350 ft open air spec) and document the CR2032 battery with 5–8-year typical life.

Key Features

• E-series encryption for secure 345 MHz communication to compatible 2GIG panels.

• 45° tilt trigger with automatic restore below 45°.

• Cover tamper & low-battery reporting to the panel.

• Compact, battery-powered design (CR2032) with ~5–8 years typical life.

Product Specifications (At-a-Glance)

• Model: 2GIG-TILT1e-345 (encrypted); legacy non-encrypted version TILT1-345 also exists.

• Activation / Restore: trips at ≥45° tilt; restores <45°.

• Power: 1× CR2032 lithium coin cell; ~5–8 yr life (typical).

• Operating env.: 0–120 °F (-17.8–49 °C); 5–85% RH (non-cond.).

Compatibility Notes

• Works with 2GIG GC2e (FW 1.14+), GC3e, and EDGE; designed for Alarm.com-enabled systems. For non-eSeries legacy 345 MHz panels, use TILT1-345.

• Indoor use only: manufacturer notes no ingress rating and limited outdoor use—mailbox installs may be temperature-dependent.

Popular Use Cases

• Sectional garage doors (primary use)

• Mailbox doors (environment permitting)

• Large pet doors or hinged crawl-space / cellar doors

Frequently Asked Questions

Where should it be mounted on a garage door?

Near the top of the top panel, oriented vertical when closed so it tips past 45° as the door opens.

Is it weatherproof?

No. The TILT1e has no ingress rating and an operating range of 0–120 °F; it’s intended for indoor locations (garage interior side).

Which panels support it?

GC2e (FW 1.14+), GC3e, and EDGE. If you have a non-eSeries 2GIG panel, choose TILT1-345 instead.

What battery does it use and how long will it last?

A CR2032 coin cell; typical life is about 5–8 years. Your panel will announce low battery well before replacement.

What’s the wireless range?

Approximately 350 ft open air; real-world range varies with construction. We test during installation to ensure reliable supervision.
