Frequently Asked Questions
How Do I Set Up Low-Temp & Freeze Detection on a 2GIG SMKT3-345?
The 2GIG SMKT3-345 is capable of detecting low temperatures that could cause the pipes in a building to freeze. To support this function, the sensor must be programmed to Loop Number 3. Separate wireless zones are needed for smoke detection and heat detection. Learn more about the 2GIG SMKT3-345.
Will 2GIG Sensors Work On a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?
The standard wireless receiver for the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 is designed to work with 319.5 MHz sensors. Since the 2GIG Sensors operate at 345 MHz, they will not normally work with the IQ Panel 2. There are a few possible workarounds for this. Learn which sensors can be used with an IQ Panel 2.
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.
Is the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Compatible w/ Total Connect?
The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 cannot work with the Total Connect service. Total Connect is designed exclusively for use with Honeywell Alarm Systems. But the IQ Panel can be used with Alarm.com, a service that offers similar functionality and features. Learn more about the 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.
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.
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.
2GIG SMKT3-345 vs Honeywell 5806W3
Both the 2GIG SMKT3-345 and the Honeywell 5806W3 are wireless life-safety devices. Both devices provide smoke detection, and both devices operate at 345 MHz. But only the SMKT3-345 offers heat and freeze detection as well. They also interface with different systems. Learn more about these devices.
2GIG SMKT3-345 vs Honeywell 5808W3
The 2GIG SMKT3-345 and the Honeywell 5808W3 both operate at the 345 MHz wireless frequency. Both devices provide smoke and heat detection. Both the SMKT3-345 and the 5808W3 offer freeze detection capabilities as well. Learn more information about these two wireless smoke and heat detectors.
Can I Connect to the Interlogix Simon XTi or XTi-5 w/ an iPad?
An Interlogix Simon XTi or XTi-5 System can be controlled by an iPad through the Alarm.com Mobile App. This app can be downloaded for free from the Apple App Store. The system will need active cellular service to sync with Alarm.com. Learn how to use an iPad with a Simon XTi or XTi-5.
