I had a dormant and unused DSC 5010/5020 Panel that I wanted to install an IQ Takeover to use along with an IQ Panel 4.
I knew that I had 1 existing, compromised hardwired door sensor where a wire had been cut during a door/frame installation and was never repaired. I planned on replacing the cut sensor during this new install/takeover.
I went through the install wizard for the IQ Panel 4 and installed ADC Doorbell Cam, (2) ADC Cameras & Thermostats, and Ecolink Garage Door controller.
I also, prior to wiring in any power or zones or mounting the panel, installed the IQ Takeover with the IQ Panel 4.
I mounted and wired the Takeover and the Panel recognizes it.
The issue I am having is that all 8 zones are showing “OPEN”/”OK”.
I expected it to show 7 Zones “CLOSED” and only 1 Zone “OPEN”, at least until I repaired the cut hardwired door sensor.
I started this process 3 weeks ago, so I am fuzzy on everything since it has been a lot of information to take in during this installation for a newb like me.
This home is over 20 years old and I don’t know if EOL resistors were used initially with the existing sensors. I know that I didn’t use or install any because I thought that I had seen/read somewhere that said that this installation could be done with or without them.
I’ve included a photo showing the DSC Panel wires and the IQ Takeover wires.
I did not use the old keypad wires or telephone wires.
Please advise.
