Happy to assist!
You can add sensors to the IQ Panel before or after connecting the panel to Alarm.com on the back end. Its up to you.
When you pair 319.5MHz RF sensors to the IQ Panel they do not need to be removed from the Concord first, they can be tied to both systems simultaneously.
Keep in mind, if you trigger a sensor, it will report on both the IQ Panel and the Concord, so you could potentially cause an alarm state on the Concord when tying sensors into the IQ Panel.
But this gives you a chance to test functionality on the IQ Panel 2 before tying it to service. Keeping the Concord disarmed and your 24/7 professional monitoring account on test mode should prevent any alarms/false dispatches during this time.
*319.5 RF Sensor Programming
All 319.5Mhz wireless sensors paired to the Concord 4 will need to be manually programmed into the IQ Panel 2+. Unfortunately, there is no way to automate this.
See this programming guide for more information on how to program sensors into the IQ Panel 2+:
*24/7 Monitoring
If you are using 24/7 professional monitoring through Surety, place the account on test mode, to avoid false alarms, when you are pairing or testing sensors. This can be done via the Professional Monitoring tab in the System Manager feature of your Surety account.
*Ready to begin using IQ Panel
When you are ready to begin using the IQ Panel 2 system with service, you can tie it to your Alarm.com account via the System Manager feature of your Surety account. From there you will enter the 15-digit IMEI module number. This will associated the IQ Panel with your Alarm.com account.
*Z-Wave Devices
Z-Wave devices can only be paired to one system at a time. You will want to clear them from the network then add them to the new IQ Panel network. Both clearing and pairing can be done from the IQ Panel. Steps below:
