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

To add a 2GIG recessed door contact to the IQ5 NS, install the IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card first. Open the IQ Installer app and connect to the panel. Go to Installation, Devices, Security Sensors, select Auto Learn Sensor, touch Start Autolearn, and open the door to send a signal.

About the 2GIG-DWR100-345

The IQ5 NS (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is a screenless security system panel compatible with the 2GIG-DWR100-345 recessed door/window contact. This 345 MHz wireless sensor installs completely flush inside the door frame — no visible hardware when the door is closed. The IQ QC0005-840 345 MHz daughter card must be installed before enrollment. All enrollment is done through the IQ Installer app.

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. Open the IQ Installer app and connect to the IQ5 NS panel. The Configuration menu opens in the app.

4. Open the door where the DWR100-345 is installed. Separating the magnet from the sensor transmitter sends a 345 MHz signal. The app displays the DL ID. Source shows SRF345. Leave Loop at Loop 1 — the only option for 345 MHz door contacts.

5. Touch OK, set Sensor Type to Door/Window, choose a Sensor Group and Name, then touch Save. 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 Side Entry and touch Save.

After Adding the Sensor

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

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