QOLSYS IQ Hardwire 8 Quick Manual

QUICK GUIDE
The IQ Hardwire 8 offers a cost effective way of integrating hardwired security zones
with the IQ Panel. It includes backup battery charging and features end-of-line resistor
learning, making rewiring different resistor values a thing of the past.
Note: Not for use with life safety devices, such as Smoke or CO detectors

IN THE BOX

STEP 1: INSTALL THE HARDWARE

1. Mount the IQ Hardwire 8 vertically in your desired location.
2. Install provided antenna into the "ANT" terminal at the top of the unit free from
obstructions
3. Wire all hardwired sensors/leads into the terminals marked "Zone 1-8"
a. All sensors must have a resistor installed between 1k-10k Ohm in either the N/O or N/C position
4. Plug in a 5Ah Max backup battery with included battery leads (battery not included).
5. With provided transformer, connect power supply leads into the terminals marked +16.0V
GND then plug in the IQ Hardwire 8' s power supply. (IMPORTANT: dashed wire is positive)

STEP 2: PAIRING INDIVIDUAL ZONES/SENSORS

code
(Default is 1111)
The IQ Panel will "chime"
indicating it has found a
new sensor. Touch Customize sensor type
"Okay" to proceed. and settings as desired.
Repeat for each zone.
