How Do I Enroll a Schlage Z-Wave Lock on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?

You can enroll a Schlage Z-Wave Lock on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 by first clearing the lock from the network. The lock can then be learned-in with the system by putting the panel into its pairing mode and activating the inclusion function on the lock. The lock can then be installed and tested.

If you would like to pair a Schlage Z-Wave Lock with an IQ Panel 2 Security System, complete the following steps:

1. Clear the lock. When pairing a Z-Wave device with an alarm system, you should always clear it from the network first. The Z-Wave device may have been previously paired with another Z-Wave controller. This is true even if the device is brand-new, out of the box, as it may have been paired with another controller for factory testing purposes. If the lock has been paired with another device, it will need to be cleared before it can be included.

Start from the home screen of the IQ Panel 2 Alarm System. Press the small grey button at the top of the screen. Then choose Settings > Advanced Settings > Installer Code (default 1111) > Installation > Devices > Z-Wave Devices > Clear Device. The panel will enter its exclusion mode.

Next, take the Schlage Z-Wave Lock, and initiate its inclusion function. Some locks have a button on the back for this purpose, while others require a specific pairing code to be entered in its keypad. Check the installation manual of the Schlage Lock for more information on how to pair. Please note that you may need to bring the lock within a few feet of the IQ Panel 2 System to complete the exclusion process. The system will display once the lock has been excluded successfully. Then press "OK" to continue.

2. Pair the lock. On the IQ Panel 2, click the "Add Device" button, then "Pair". The IQ Panel 2 will enter into its Z-Wave inclusion mode. Then initiate the inclusion function on the lock in the same manner that was done when excluding the lock in Step 1. The lock may need to be within a few feet of the panel when completing the pairing process. The system should recognize the lock. It can then be named, and pressing the "Add" button will complete the pairing process. Finally, press the picture of the house at the bottom of the screen to return to the main menu.

3. Install the lock. Once the pairing process is complete, the lock should be installed into the door. The process for installing the lock can be found in the device's installation manual. Follow the necessary steps to install the lock.

4. Test the lock. From the home screen of the IQ Panel 2, swipe right on the screen until you reach the locks menu. Make sure that you can successfully lock and unlock the door from this menu. Remember that commands are being sent across the Z-Wave network, so there may be a brief delay from the time you press the command on the panel, to the time it is processed by the lock.
