I currently have a working GE/Interlogix Concord Hybrid/Concord system, model 60-734-01, using 319.5 MHz wireless sensors. The system is currently monitored over a Verizon copper telephone line, but Verizon is discontinuing copper service at my home in November.
I would like to keep the existing Concord system and convert it to Alarm.com using an AT&T LTE communicator. Verizon cellular service is not usable at my location, so I specifically need AT&T.
Can Surety currently activate a new/unregistered Alarm.com CD-411-US-AT (or the appropriate current AT&T LTE communicator) on my Concord for new service in 2026?
I have the installer/programming code and can access System Programming.
I want Alarm.com app access plus 24/7 professional central-station monitoring with police and fire dispatch.
Before I purchase a communicator, could you please confirm:
The exact AT&T LTE communicator/model I should purchase for this Concord.
Whether you can activate that communicator for a new Surety account today.
Whether any SuperBus gateway/interface or other hardware is required in addition to the communicator.
Which Surety plan provides Alarm.com remote access plus professional police/fire monitoring, and the current monthly cost.
Whether there are any Concord firmware/version requirements I should verify before purchasing the communicator.
Unfortunately the 60-734-01 is the original Concord panel, and the Alarm.com LTE module only works with Concord 4.0 and up, so the CD-411-US-AT won’t work with it.
The good news is you can keep your existing 319.5 MHz sensors. The Qolsys IQ Panel 5 comes in an AT&T version (IQP5018), and you can add the 319.5 MHz legacy radio card when ordering.
The IQ Panel 5 comes with the Surety Complete plan, which includes the Alarm.com app. Adding professional monitoring gives you 24/7 police, fire, and medical dispatch, with the first month of monitoring free. Service is month to month, and you can change your plan anytime:
Thanks for confirming that my 60-734-01 is the original Concord and therefore can’t use the Alarm.com LTE communicator.
Before I place an order, I’d like to confirm the replacement configuration I’m considering:
• Qolsys IQ5 Hub with AT&T cellular • 319.5 MHz legacy radio card • IQ Hardwire 16F (QS7133-840) • 12V backup battery for the Hardwire 16F • Qolsys QS5130-840 319.5 MHz smoke/heat detector
I plan to reuse my existing GE/Interlogix 319.5 MHz wireless door/window sensors (primarily model 60-362N), my existing 319.5 MHz motion detector, and a recently installed Ecolink TX-E201 319.5 MHz door/window sensor.
I also have a recently installed WBOX/ADI PRO 0E-WALLSIREN, rated 6–12 VDC and approximately 400 mA at 12V. I’d like to retain it using the IQ Hardwire 16F rather than the more expensive PG9WLSHW8.
Could you please confirm:
That these existing 319.5 MHz sensors will work with the IQ5 Hub when equipped with the 319.5 MHz legacy radio.
That the IQ Hardwire 16F can properly power/control my 12V, ~400 mA WBOX siren.
That the QS5130-840 smoke/heat is appropriate for monitored fire protection with this configuration.
That Surety Alarm with professional monitoring ($19/month) provides the Alarm.com app, AT&T cellular communication, and 24/7 central-station police and fire dispatch, without requiring the Home or Complete plan.
Whether there is anything else I need to purchase for this installation (power supplies, batteries, mounting hardware, etc.).
Finally, my objective is the least-expensive sensible upgrade that eliminates my Verizon copper line, retains as much of my existing equipment as possible, provides AT&T cellular plus Wi-Fi/Alarm.com, and gives me professional police/fire monitoring. If there’s a less expensive configuration you recommend that accomplishes all of that, please let me know before I order.
Hi Brian, thanks for laying it all out! Here’s what we can confirm:
1. Existing sensors: With the 319.5 MHz legacy radio card, the IQ5 Hub can pair legacy 319.5 MHz GE/Interlogix sensors. We can’t confirm compatibility for each specific model (60-362N, TX-E201, and your motion detector) on the IQ5.
2. Siren: The IQ Hardwire 16F provides 12VDC auxiliary power at up to 500mA, and its siren relay is rated 60VDC/1A. It works with sirens that produce their own tone when powered, but a plain speaker would need a separate driver. We can’t confirm your specific WBOX siren.
3. Smoke/heat: The QS5130-840 is a 319.5 MHz sensor, so it needs the 319.5 MHz legacy card on the IQ5 Hub. With professional monitoring, the fire department is dispatched when it detects a fire.
4. Plan: You don’t need Home or Complete. The IQ5 Hub comes with a complimentary month of service set up on Surety Complete. After activation, you can switch to Surety Alarm through the System Manager section of your Surety account. Every plan includes the Alarm.com app, and professional monitoring adds police, fire, and medical dispatch. The AT&T cellular comes from choosing the AT&T version of the IQ5 Hub when ordering.
5. Other items:
The IQ5 Hub includes its power adapter and wall mount. The table stand is sold separately.
The Hardwire 16F includes its 16V power supply and resistors. The backup battery isn’t included and should be a 12V lead acid, 5Ah max.
Thanks, Alfred. That answers most of my questions.
Before I order, could you please help me resolve the two items you weren’t able to confirm?
Legacy sensors: Is there a Qolsys compatibility list or other resource we can use to verify my GE/Interlogix 60-362N door/window transmitters and Ecolink TX-E201 with the IQ5 Hub 319.5 MHz legacy card? I can also provide the exact model number of my existing motion detector.
Siren: My existing siren is an ADI PRO/WBOX 0E-WALLSIREN, 15W, 2-tone, rated 6–12 VDC and approximately 400 mA at 12V. It is a self-contained electronic siren that produces its own tone when DC power is applied—not a passive speaker. Based on those specifications, can you confirm that it can be powered/switched by the IQ Hardwire 16F?
If both are compatible, I believe my order should be:
IQ5 Hub – AT&T
319.5 MHz legacy radio card
IQ Hardwire 16F
12V lead-acid backup battery, no more than 5Ah
QS5130-840 smoke/heat detector
Please let me know if I’m missing anything.
The installation manual for the IQ Panel 5 only list IQ S-Line sensors. Even though a sensor may not be listed, it can still be compatible. There shouldn’t be any issues with GE and ecolink sensors.
16F Siren power: Comes from the module’s AUX output, 12 VDC at 500 mA max. That 500 mA is shared with everything else on AUX, such as motion detectors. The wiring diagram runs AUX + through the relay to the siren, with the siren’s negative going to GND.
PowerG Hardwire Siren power: The powered BELL output at 11.3–12.5 VDC, 700 mA continuous max. This is separate from AUX, which has its own 700 mA shared between AUX1, AUX2 and the PGMs.
The questions here is will you be adding any hardwire 2-wire smokes or hardwired motions on the Qolsys 16F? If you are, you may be getting real close or passing the 500mA it provides in which case the PG9WLSHW8 would be a better fit.
