INSTALLATION MANUAL
The IQ Hardwire 16-F offers a cost effective way of integrating hardwired security & smoke
detector zones with the IQ Panel 2/2+. It includes backup battery charging, 500mA of
12volt auxiliary power, an onboard siren relay, built-in status LED' s for each zone and
support for up to 10 two-wire smoke detectors. Normally Open and Normally Closed
contacts are supported as well as powered zones like motion sensors and glass break
detectors.
Note: Not for use with CO detectors

STEP 1: INSTALL THE HARDWARE
1. Mount the IQ Hardwire 16-F vertically in your desired location
2. Install the provided antenna into the "ANT" terminal at the top of the unit free from
obstructions
3. Wire all hardwired sensors into the terminals marked Zone 1-15. Zone 16 is reserved
for two-wire smoke detectors:
a. All zones must have a 4.7k resistor (included) installed in either the N/O
(parallel) or N/C (series) position
b. Wire the positive and negative leads from powered devices, such as motion
sensors and glass break detectors, into the "AUX" (+) and "GND" (-) terminals to
power the devices.
c. Wire a tamper switch into the tamper terminals without using a resistor. If a
tamper switch is not being used, permanently shunt the zone with a piece of
wire.
d. Optional: Wire the hardwired siren (60VDC/1A Max, see wiring diagram)
4. Plug in a 5Ah lead acid backup battery with included battery leads (battery not
included)
5. Using the provided 16vDC power supply, connect the leads to the terminals marked
"+16.0V" & "GND", then plug then supply into a wall outlet. (Note: dashed wire is
positive)
