IQ QS-5130-840

The IQ QS5130-840 is a wireless smoke and heat detector designed to provide reliable life-safety protection with improved sensing technology and system awareness. It communicates using the 319.5 MHz frequency, making it compatible with IQ/Qolsys and select GE/Interlogix alarm systems that support this wireless standard.

This detector uses photoelectric smoke sensing to detect visible smoke from slow, smoldering fires. It also includes heat detection with both rate-of-rise and fixed temperature sensing at 135°F, providing an additional layer of protection for rapidly developing fire conditions. These dual detection methods help ensure more comprehensive fire monitoring within the home.

The QS5130-840 introduces enhancements over earlier models, including improved sensing performance and a longer battery life. It also features a “dirty sensor” indicator that alerts users when the sensing chamber may require cleaning. This helps maintain detection accuracy over time and reduces the risk of performance degradation due to dust or debris buildup.

The detector operates as an always-on safety device, continuously monitoring conditions and reporting alarms to the connected system. When triggered, it can activate local alerts and communicate with the control panel for system-wide notification and monitoring response.

This unit is powered by two (2) long-life Panasonic CR123A batteries and is designed for consistent operation with minimal maintenance. Regular supervisory signals ensure the system is aware of the detector’s status, including low battery and alarm conditions.

The IQ QS5130-840 is a strong choice for users looking for updated wireless smoke and heat detection with improved reliability, longer service life, and added system feedback features.
