IQ2+ as Secondary Panel?

Looking to build our system. We received some equipment from our home builder, including an IQ2+ primary panel. With the IQ4 panel now being available, I’m wondering if it is possible to use the 2+ as a secondary panel and run the IQ4 as the primary one? Thanks!

No it is not possible to use the IQ Panel 2+ as the secondary to the IQ Panel 4. You would use the IQ Remote or you could use the DSC PowerG WS9LCDWF9 wireless keypad as secondary options.

The IQ Panel 2+ and the IQ Panel 4 share the same sensor and device compatibilities. More information on that can be found below:

We have no sensors just yet so I’m not worried about compatibility. Seeing as we didn’t pay out of pocket for the 2+, is there a good benefit or reason to go with the 4 and try to get rid of the 2+ ? Thanks!

Not currently, no. The IQ Panel 4 is very similar to the 2+, same UI, same compatibility currently, with improved sound, an internal RF antenna for legacy sensors instead of external, and an optional speaker/sub base.
