How Do I Add a 2GIG Panic Button to the IQ5 Hub System?

To add a 2GIG panic button to the IQ5 Hub, install the IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card first. Go to Advanced Settings, Installation, Devices, Security Sensors, touch Auto Learn, press the PANIC100-345 button, set Sensor Type to Auxiliary Pendant, choose a Sensor Group, and touch Add New.

Before You Begin

The IQ5 Hub (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is compatible with the 2GIG-PANIC100-345, a 345 MHz wireless panic button. The IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card must be installed before enrollment. The button enrolls as an Auxiliary Pendant. With a monitoring plan, pressing the button dispatches the appropriate emergency services.

Choose your Sensor Group based on how the button will be used. Group 1 (Mobile Intrusion) triggers a police panic and is unsupervised — suitable for carrying or wearing. Group 4 (Fixed Auxiliary) triggers an auxiliary panic and is supervised — best for a fixed location. Group 3 (Mobile Silent) sends a silent police panic. All 345 MHz panic buttons use Loop 1 only.

Steps to Add the Panic Button

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

6. Touch OK, set Sensor Type to Auxiliary Pendant, choose a Sensor Group and Name, then touch Add New. Use Group 1 for a carried police panic, Group 4 for a fixed auxiliary panic, or Group 3 for a silent panic. Name it something descriptive and touch Add New.

After Adding the Panic Button

Test after enrollment by pressing the button and confirming the panel triggers the correct alarm type. Unsupervised groups (1, 3, 6, 7) do not check in with the panel — a dead battery or out-of-range condition goes undetected. Supervised groups (0, 2, 4, 5) check in regularly. For fixed locations, choose a supervised group. A monitoring plan ensures panic signals reach the central station for dispatch. Expand your security system with additional panic buttons for different areas of the home.

Adding the 2GIG-PANIC100-345 to your IQ5 Hub gives you a wireless panic button for triggering an emergency alarm from anywhere in the home on the IQ5 Hub.
