Fixed Temp. Heat Detector for IQ4

Support
1

I need to protect garages with fixed temperature heat detection using an IQ4 panel. Rate-of-rise detectors won’t do the trick because in Florida, opening a garage door can result in a 15-degree temperature rise within a minute.

Can the PGP9976 or PG9936 smoke/heat detector – or any other IQ4-compatible smoke/heat detector – be programmed for smoke + fixed-temperature detection?

Can the PGP9976 or PG9936 be programmed to suppress heat detection and operate only as a smoke detector?

Is there any other wireless fixed temperature-only heat detector available for an IQ4 panel?

Both the PGP0076 and the PG9936 have rate as rise as well as the fixed heat to trigger alarms. There is no way to only use the fixed heat temperature on both of these sensors. There is also no way to only use the smoke and not the heat.

You can use a PG9945 wireless sensor with a System Sensor 5603(135 degree) or a 5604(194 degree) if needed as these heat detectors do not have a rate of rise.

Depending if you have the 345Mhz Radio IQ Panel 4, then you can also use a 2GIG Wireless Smoke/Heat/Freeze Detector as this sensor can separate the smoke and heat. You would be able to use only the smoke on this device and have it ignore the heat. The heat on this device is also rate of rise as well as a fixed 134 degree

Thank you. This is very helpful.

If I choose to use a 2GIG-SMKT8-345 detector with an iQ4 panel that’s monitoring encrypted PG and PGP sensors, should I order the 2GIG-SMKT8E-345 encrypted detector or non-encrypted? Is the IQ4 capable of both encryption schemes at the same time? Would the 2GIG unencrypted smoke detector pose fewer programming problems?

The E-series 2GIG sensor is only compatible with E-series 2GIG panels, such as the GC2e, Edge, and new GCTouch.

If you have a 345mhz version of the IQ Panel 4, the legacy 345Mhz radio does not work with E-series sensors. The standard unencrypted model of the SMKT8 sensor would be required.
