Im am trying to plan my install. I am going from a moose/sentrol z1250. Ive ordered a IQpro. I have 5 smokes and 3 Heats on a 2 wire loop, i Also have 3 CO’s (System Sensor CO1224T) that are home runned to the panel. Looking for some suggestions on the CO’s These were all working on the old panel.
I Guess my question would be do i Hook these to seperate zones? 1st fl, Basement , and second floor??
Ive got all my wires ID’d and everything labeled. while i wait for my system to show im just trying to get a solid plan to make this go easier. looking for suggestions.
Page 22 of the IQ Pro manual has this note that 4-wire and 2 wire devices cannot be combined. CO devices count as a fire device. Therefore, you would not be able to use the 4-Wire CO devices with the smoke.
What model smokes and heats do you have? Could you share a picture of the wires to see what we could do to make it work.
Are the wires 4 conductor or 2 conductor(4 wires inside one or 2 wires inside one)?
Hi the smokes are Hochiki … SLR835B -2w and the Heats are chemetronics model 601s.
I have 4 conductor wire feeding the CO’s out of the panel. they go straight to the CO’s with the exeption of the 2nd floor one they ran 2, 2conductor to one of the smokes on the 2nd floor where it is tied back into the 4 conductor that goes to the CO. (they must of ran out of 4c wire when installing idk)
All the smokes and heat (only 2 in the garage) come out the panel as 4 conductor they make a loop with the garage heats and one smoke in the room above the garage. That one goes up… the rest of the smokes are fed from the 4C wire that has the green and white wrapped back. that wire goes to the basement where and only uses r&b. after that its all 2C wire.
Dont pay attention to the tag that says basement heat i initially thought i had a heat down there but i dont.
I have 1 smoke and 1 CO on the main floor. 1 smoke and 1 CO in the basement, 4 smokes on the 2nd floor and 2 Heats in the Garage.
The reason i Thought that i could run them on seperate zones is because the manual for the Sensor systems say not to hook them to a fire zone. is there something im missing here?

Just to clarify, I think you just mean the CO detectors here but to be 100% sure, when you say do i Hook these to seperate zones are you just referring to the 3 CO detectors?
Or are you referring to everything on that floor pertaining to smoke, heat, CO?
You would not be able to split the two wire smoke detectors into multiple zones, those would all connect back in one zone using PGM2 and Aux2. They cannot be wired to the same zone as a CO.
4 wire CO detectors could be programmed into separate zone inputs if you have each wired back to the panel.
Looking at the wiring diagram, it does appear you can have them on their own zone. You will however need an RM-1 or RM-2 power loop supervisory relay for it to be correctly wired
