Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Add a Z-Wave Light to a Simon XTi or XTi-5?
A Z-Wave light is added to a Simon XTi or XTi-5 System by putting the panel into its learn mode and then activating the inclusion function on the light. The light should be cleared from the network before attempting to do this. Learn how to add a Z-Wave light to a Simon XTi or XTi-5 System.
Can I Use a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 w/o Monitoring?
A Qolsys IQ Panel 2 can technically be used and operated without active monitoring service. But this will severely limit the functionality of the panel. The system will have no way of sending signals to a central monitoring station or to an end user. Learn more about the Qolsys IQ Panel 2.
How Do I Add a Z-Wave Light to a Simon XT?
A Z-Wave light is learned in with a Simon XT by first clearing the light from the network. The light can then be learned in with the system by putting the system in its inclusion mode and activating the inclusion function on the light. Learn how to add a Z-Wave light to an Interlogix Simon XT.
Will a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Work w/ a Phone Line?
There is no possible way to provide phone line monitoring for a Qolsys IQ Panel 2. The system does not have an input for a phone jack, and it does not have an integrated dialer. The system can only receive monitoring service through cellular connectivity. Learn more about the IQ Panel 2.
Will Interlogix/GE Sensors Work on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?
The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 is designed to work with wireless security sensors that operate at a frequency of 319.5 MHz. Since Interlogix and GE Sensors operate at this frequency, they can interface with the Qolsys IQ Panel 2. Learn more about which security sensors can be used with this alarm system.
How Do I Add a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to My Local WIFI?
It is very easy to connect a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to a WIFI network. Access the advanced settings menu using the system's Master Code. Then choose the WIFI option, and locate the network. Then provide the network password, and connect to the network. Learn how to set WIFI on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2.
How Do I Enroll a Z-Wave Lock to My Qolsys IQ Panel 2?
A Z-Wave lock is learned-in with an IQ Panel 2 in the same way as any other Z-Wave device. Simply put the system into its Z-Wave inclusion mode, and activate the lock's inclusion function. The panel should recognize the lock and learn it in. Learn how to enroll a Z-Wave lock with an IQ Panel 2.
