Smoke Monitoring and Volume control?

Support
1

I have a IQ Panel 2 Plus (QS9202-1208-840) could you recommend if its possible to either link or monitor OmniShield Crossfire smoke C/O alarms ? They are linked but by wireless.

My Parents are a little hard of hearing I have the volume turned up but its a little hard to sometimes hear the voice to say a door has been opened can the panel link to anything else with better audio ?

Thanks for your help and have a great New Year

The QS9202-1208-840 would not work with the omnishield device. That panel works with 319.5MHz and PowerG sensors.

A list of tested compatible sensors can be found here:

The IQ Remote secondary panel would mirror sounds and could be placed in a different location, however, there is not a separate speaker option that replicates panel voice annunciation.

Thanks for the reply and documentation, As the smoke alarm does not have a supported wireless monitoring profile could you let me know about a smoke listener like the fireman series ? Any feed back of doing it like this I read that most listeners will need to be installed about 6 " away from the smoke alarm to be able to hear it.

If the smoke detectors produce the standard temporal pulse fire alarm sound, then the Firefighter should work.

If the detectors all sound when one does, only a single Firefighter would be needed.

Yes, the Firefighter must be installed within 6 inches of one of the smoke detectors.

Thank you for letting me know these sensors are all wirelessly interlinked so this should then work.

I have some heat sensors that are in the attic and garage these are wired together with a single interconnect orange wire, I was watching a video where someone linked these in with a wired normal open or normally closed sensor can this be done with the with the Qolsys 16 F/S ?

The Hardwire 16F has one terminal which can act as a 2-wire smoke terminal, officially compatible with a few System Sensor smoke detector models: 2W-B, 2WT-B, 2WTA-B. Models cannot be mixed.
