How Do I Connect an IQ Keypad Prox-PG to the IQ5 Hub Panel?

To connect an IQ Keypad Prox-PG to the IQ5 Hub, swipe down, touch Settings, Advanced Settings, enter the Installer Code (1111 by default), go to Installation, Devices, Security Sensors, and touch Auto Learn. Press the tamper button on the keypad, set Sensor Type to Keypad, and touch Add New.

What Is the IQ Keypad Prox-PG

The IQ5 Hub (available in AT&T LTE and Verizon LTE) is compatible with the IQ Keypad Prox-PG, a PowerG wireless LCD keypad with a built-in proximity tag reader. It provides a secondary arming and disarming point without any wiring, communicating over the same encrypted PowerG radio used by security sensors — no daughter card required.

Users can enter a code on the numeric keypad or tap a paired proximity tag to arm and disarm the security system. Status lights show Ready, Armed, Trouble, and AC Power at a glance. The IQ Keypad-PG is also available if proximity tag reading is not needed.

Steps to Connect the IQ Keypad Prox-PG

1. Mount and power on the IQ Keypad Prox-PG. Install batteries or connect power per the manufacturer's instructions and position the keypad within PowerG range.

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

Using the Keypad After Enrollment

Once enrolled, enter any valid user code to arm or disarm from the keypad, or tap a paired proximity tag against the reader. Status lights reflect the current system state. You can add up to 3 PowerG keypads to the IQ5 Hub. For remote access, the Alarm.com app with a monitoring plan lets you arm and disarm from anywhere and adds home automation features like automated arming schedules.

Connecting the IQ Keypad Prox-PG to your IQ5 Hub adds a wireless arming and disarming point with proximity tag access anywhere in your home on the IQ5 Hub.
