How Do I Add a 2GIG CO Detector to the IQ5 Hub Security Panel?

To add a 2GIG CO detector to the IQ5 Hub, install the IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card first. Go to Advanced Settings, Installation, Devices, Security Sensors, and touch Auto Learn Sensor. Press the test button on the 2GIG-00100-345, set Sensor Type to CO Detector, and touch Add New.

Before You Begin

The IQ5 Hub (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is compatible with the 2GIG-00100-345 Carbon Monoxide Detector. The IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card must be installed in the panel before enrollment. If not yet installed, power down the panel, seat the card in the expansion slot, and reboot before starting.

The CO detector is always active after enrollment — it monitors for carbon monoxide 24 hours a day regardless of arming state. CO detectors use Sensor Group 34 and cannot be bypassed. When CO is detected, the panel sounds the alarm and reports to the monitoring station. Install detectors on every level of the home and near sleeping areas per local code.

Steps to Add the CO Detector

1. Swipe down from the top of the screen and touch Settings. The Settings page opens.

5. Press the test button on the 2GIG-00100-345. The panel chimes and displays the DL ID. Source shows SRF345. The Loop field appears — use Loop 1, the only option for 345 MHz CO sensors.

6. Touch OK, set Sensor Type to CO Detector, choose a Sensor Name, and touch Add New. Sensor Group 34 (CO) is assigned automatically and cannot be changed. Enter a name like Living Room CO or Hallway CO and touch Add New.

After Adding the CO Detector

Test the detector after enrollment by holding the test button until the panel responds. The detector is supervised and always active — CO alarms trigger regardless of arming state and cannot be bypassed. Add a monitoring plan for central station CO dispatch and consider expanding your security system with additional PowerG sensors for complete wireless coverage.

Adding the 2GIG-00100-345 CO detector to your IQ5 Hub gives you 24-hour wireless carbon monoxide protection throughout your home on the IQ5 Hub.
