Introduction The IQ Hardwire PowerG Wired to Wireless Converter converts existing hardwired zones to PowerG wireless zones. There are two models, the PG8WLSHW8 and PG9WLSHW8, and each provide eight hardwired zones and four programmable outputs. This document describes how to mount the enclosure, wire zones, connect the battery, enroll devices, and troubleshoot.
Technical Specifications The following table outlines the electrical ratings of the components of the IQ Hardwire PowerG Wired to Wireless Converter. Table 2: Technical specifications Type Description DC input voltage and current Use the provided external power adapter with the following ratings.
Page 8
Table 2: Technical specifications Type Description Bell circuit voltage and current 11.3 VDC to 12.5 VDC, maximum current 700 mA continuous. For EN50131 Grade 2 applications, the voltage rating is 9.6 VDC to 13.75 VDC. Note: The bell output supports continuous burglary alarms, T3 fire alarms, and T4 CO alarms.
Installing the equipment This section describes how to mount the enclosure, install the battery, and wire the system. The enclosure has three breakaway tabs that you can use for wiring access during installation. There are also two slots for the battery strap to pass through. For more information, see the highlighted areas in Figure 1.

Callout Description Status LED Power adapter mounting tabs. Alternate adapter is plug-in style (HS40WPSA). Use the following table to determine the distance and gauge for the secondary wiring. Table 3: Wiring distance and gauge Distance (m/ ft) Gauge (AWG) 2/ 6.5 3/ 10 4/ 13 For UL and ULC installations, use a primary input with ratings of 120 VAC, 60 Hz, and 1.2 A.
Note: Distances are based on a maximum wiring resistance of 100 Ω. Normally open and normally closed wiring Wire normally closed devices in series and normally open devices in parallel. To wire hardwired devices, complete the following steps: Wire the device to any Zone terminal. Wire the device to any COM terminal.

The following figure shows the different wiring configurations for SEOL resistors. The image on the left shows one normally closed contact with an SEOL resistor, and the image on the right shows one normally open contact with an SEOL resistor. Note: SEOL resistors can have a resistance between 1 kΩ...

Table 7: DEOL zone status Resistance Description Status 0 Ω Shorted wire, loop shorted Trouble 5600 Ω Contact closed Secure Infinite Broken wire, loop open Tamper 11200 Ω Contact open Alarm Wiring programmable outputs You can use the programmable (PGM) outputs to activate devices such as LEDs and buzzers. To wire an output to the PGM, complete the following steps: Connect the positive wire from the device to the AUX+ terminal.
Callout Description LED indicator 680 Ω resistor (typical value) To wire the relay output, see Figure 7. Figure 7: Relay output wiring Callout Description AUX terminals PGM terminals Relay (RM-1 and RM-2) To normally open connection To normally closed connection To COM terminal Wiring a fire zone to the PGM2 configured as a 2-wire loop When you wire a 2-wire smoke detector, observe the following guidelines:...
Page 18
• For UL and ULC residential fire applications, use only the AUX2 output to provide power to smoke and CO detectors. If you program PGM2 for use with a 2-wire smoke detector, you must wire it according to the following figure: Figure 8: 2-wire smoke detector wiring AUX2 Callout...

Module zone input Note: You can manually configure PGM2 as a 2-wire smoke loop in panel programming.
Figure 11: Installing the battery Wiring the module This section describes how to wire the external power supply and battery. For more information, see Figure 12. Wiring the power supply To wire the external power supply, complete the follow steps: On the power supply, secure the wires to the terminals.
Figure 12: Wiring the battery Important: You must maintain a minimum separation of 6.4 mm (0.25 in.) at all points between non-power limited battery wiring and all other power limited wiring connections. Do not route any wiring over circuit boards. You must maintain a minimum separation of 25.4 mm (1 in.) between all wiring and the PCB.

Note: Starting with v1.20 Proximity tags are supported on the PG8WLSHW8 or PG9WLSHW8. You can use the keypad to perform the following operations: To arm and disarm the system. To view zone status. To view partition status. To use the keypad function keys. The * menus support *1 Bypass, *2 Troubles, *3 Alarm Memory, *4 Chime, *6 User Functions (keypad buzzer, contrast and brightness only), *7 Command Outputs 1-4, *9 No Entry Arm, and *0 Quick Arm/Quick Exit.
When you install multiple keypads and modules, wire keypads using the same partition on the same module to improve keypad performance. Keypads on partition one should be wired into module one, and keypads on partition two should be wired into module two. Silencing fire alarm or CO alarm bells This section describes how to silence Fire alarms or CO Alarms Fire alarms or CO Alarms can be silenced by entering a valid access code.
Enrolling the module Before you enroll the module, ensure that all hardwired zones, PGM, AUX, and BELL are wired to the module. To enroll the module, complete the following steps: Enable enrollment through panel programming. For more information, refer to the Qolsys IQPanel2 or Qolsys IQPanel4 Installation Manual.
Enrolling wired zones automatically When you successfully enroll the module to the control panel, eight hardwired zones are added to the control panel. The zones display on the control panel with the same ID as the module and zone label as the corresponding hardwired input. Enable and configure each zone input and PGM using the zone configuration options on the control panel.
Enrolling a keypad/zone expander/power supply To enroll a keypad or device on to the module, complete the following steps: Select Settings > Advanced Settings > Installation > Devices > Security Sensors. To automatically enroll all keypads and modules that are correctly wired to the module, select Auto Learn.
