This guide covers how to install the Qolsys IQ Hardwire 16F (Large Enclosure) when paired with an IQ Panel 2/2+ and a IQ Panel 4 with a 319.5Mhz radio. During the installation process, refer to the Installation Manual Here.

Before you start:

  • Put Monitoring account on Test Mode to avoid false dispatch
  • Check to ensure all devices currently connected to the hardwired panel function before switching to the IQ Hardwire 16F

Needed:

  • Sharpie and tape to label wires
  • Or any writing tool
  • Precision Screw Driver
  • Drill / Bits
  • List of your zones
  • Take a picture of your current panel incase you need to go back to it for reference
  • Power Strip if needed (if using additional keypads).

Step 1: Label/Remove Panel if there’s an existing panel

  1. Label all the wires to their proper zone number / Keypad location / Siren / Smoke Detector / Extras
  2. Unplug hardwired panel transformer from the wall and disconnect the wire as this will need to be replaced the transformer included with the IQ Hardwire PowerG.
  3. Disconnect the hardwired panel backup battery

The panel should now be powered down

  1. Remove all wires from the panel and zone expanders
  2. Remove the screws to remove the panel from the wall and take down panel

Step 2: Install

  1. Before mounting panel, verify which keypad wires will need to go to power(IQ 4 Panel, IQR-PG) Remove a knockout to have an exit route for these wires as these keypads require their own transformer. Sometimes a power strip is needed when using IQR-PG.
  2. Mount the IQ Hardwire 16-F vertically in your desired location using anchors and screws
  3. Install the provided antenna into the “ANT” terminal at the top of the unit free from
    obstructions
  4. Power up the takeover module:
    Wire in the power to the panel and then add the transformer. Press and hold the master reset button as you power up the device to factory default device to avoid any problems during installation.
  5. Wire provided resistors into the terminals marked Zone 1-15. Zone 16 is reserved
    for two-wire smoke detectors:
  • All zones must have a 4.7k resistor (included) installed in either the N/O
    (parallel) or N/C (series) position

Step 3: Program 16F into panel

  1. Press and hold “EOL LEARN” for 1-2 secs. (all Zone LED’s flash and then turn off)
    EOL Button

  2. EOL CAL LED will turn ON. This indicates the module is now in “Auto Learn” mode

  3. Place your IQ Panel in “Auto Learn” mode: Settings > Advanced Settings > Installation > Devices > Security Sensors > Auto Learn Sensor

  4. Trip the module by opening and closing the panel cover tripping the tamper

  5. Fill out any information and make sure the IQ Hardwired F16 learns in as a “Hardwired Translator” Sensor.

Step 4: Program Zones into panel

  1. While the EOL CAL light is still on and the panel is in Auto Learn mode, remove one end of the resistor of the first zone
  2. The IQ Panel should have picked up the zone. Finish programming on the IQ Panel using Qolsys 319.5Mhz Sensor Programming if needed.
  3. Repeat steps until you are done with needed zones

Step 5: Wiring

  • Add the 12V5Ah battery
  • Wire in all sensors to the Z1-Z16 terminals
  • Wire the positive and negative leads from powered devices, such as motion
    sensors and glass break detectors, into the “AUX” (+) and “GND” (-) terminals to
    power the devices.
  • Wire the hardwired siren (60VDC/1A Max, see wiring diagram)
