How Do I Add a 2GIG Recessed Door Contact to the IQ5 Hub?

To add a 2GIG recessed door contact 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, open the door to activate the DWR100-345, set Sensor Type to Door/Window, and choose a Sensor Group.

About the 2GIG-DWR100-345

The IQ5 Hub (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is compatible with the 2GIG-DWR100-345 recessed door/window contact. This 345 MHz wireless sensor installs flush inside the door frame and door edge — no visible hardware when the door is closed. The IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card must be installed before enrollment. The sensor transmitter mounts in a drilled hole in the door frame, and the magnet mounts in the door. Opening the door separates the magnet from the sensor and triggers the signal.

Group 10 (Entry-Exit Normal Delay) gives entry delay for a main door. Group 12 provides a longer delay for garage entries. Group 13 (Instant Perimeter D/W) triggers instantly — use for doors that should never open while armed. All 345 MHz door contacts use Loop 1 only. With a monitoring plan, every armed door event is reported to the central station.

Steps to Add the Recessed Door Contact

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

5. Open the door where the DWR100-345 is installed. Separating the magnet sends a 345 MHz signal. The panel chimes and displays the DL ID. Source shows SRF345. Leave Loop at Loop 1.

6. Touch OK, set Sensor Type to Door/Window, choose a Sensor Group and Name, then touch Add New. Use Group 10 for a main entry door, Group 12 for longer delay, or Group 13 for instant alarm. Enter a name like Front Door or Garage Entry and touch Add New.

After Adding the Sensor

Test after enrollment by opening and closing the door and confirming the panel responds. The sensor is supervised — a lost connection generates a trouble condition. Add a monitoring plan for central station reporting and expand your security system with additional recessed contacts at every entry point where a clean, hidden installation is preferred.

Adding the 2GIG-DWR100-345 to your IQ5 Hub gives you invisible wireless door protection with a flush recessed installation on the IQ5 Hub.
