Qolsys IQ Panel 4: Adding Prox Tags

hey DIY Dylan here with alarm grid uh today we're going to review how to set up a proxy tag with your iq4 panel uh so you're going to need a secondary keypad which is going to allow uh that proxy tag to pair with this and that secondary keypad is going to need to be hooked up to a wired to wireless converter uh we're going to go over the specific model number of those in just a moment uh we're going to pair the keypad to the panel first and then we're going to pair the proxy tag to the keypad which will then pair it to the panel and then we're going to test it make sure everything's working okay uh so we did a bit of installation before we started this but I'm going to show the wiring uh for the keypad real quick uh so just to note we have a few things here obviously we have our iq4 panel now the panel needs to be on a certain firmware version for this to work you need to be on firmware 4.1.0 or higher and we have our wir to wireless converter uh we are using the dsse pg9 WL hw8 now this needs to be on firmware version 1.2 or higher and to check the firmware we're just going to flip this over real quick and your firmware will be listed right there and finally we have our keypad here this is what we're going to pair the proxy tag to uh so this keypad is the DSC hs2 L cdpn okay so I've already done the wiring for this but I'm going to show real quick how that's connected so we're going to open up the keypad you're going to want a flathead screwdriver there's little wedges right here I'm going to push this in in pop one open and these are pretty sturdy so you can be pretty rough with them pop the other one open and then these are our wire connections we have the red black yellow and green so we have our wires connected we have a white wire instead of yellow which is as long as it's connected properly we have all these secured let me pop this back on okay and then we have these over to the core bus on our wired to wireless converter and uh you can see they made it pretty simple for us they put red black yellow and green so as long as you have these matching from the keypad to the actual converter that's the correct wiring uh now the keypad is going to get power directly from the converter as well so we only have the converter with its power connection okay so what we're going to do now is we're going to pair the keypad itself to the uh the iq4 so we're going to go to the top menu here we're going to go to settings advanced settings we're entering the installer code or is this still the default default 1111 we're going to go to installation devices security sensors uh we're going to manually add this so we're going to do add sensor uh and now just real quick you have to have your converter already programmed to the panel itself uh so we've done that prior to shooting the video but that is the first step you need you need to program the converter first and then you program the keypad so we're going to enter in the sensor dlid and that's going to be found right over here that's the ID number right there so 460 uh 3724 and since we already had the converter programmed you program the converter with that same ID code uh but since we've already done that right when I enter this it picked up the keypad right away so it knows it's a keypad uh it knows it's connected to the corbus uh we're going to enter in the sensor uh serial number which can be found on the packaging right there SN so let's enter that five uh 52 one two 0 five C and two okay we have sensor type as keypad we have sensor group we're going to keep this as fixed intrusion that means this is going to be a stationary keypad we're going to be using for intrusion uh we're going to keep the tamper disabled but you do have the option to enable that as well and we're going to keep the backlight option on so that way we have the backlight so we can see the keypad pretty easily uh you can put a sensor name so uh say that we have this downstairs this our downstairs keypad and then sources power G automatically that already picked it up once we started programming and we're going to do add new okay this shows the keypad is now enrolled it shows system is ready to arm and then what we're going to do now is we're going to add our proxy tag so we'll just start back from the home screen to show that so we're going to go back to the top menu back into settings back into advanced settings installer code so 1111 and then instead of going to installation we're actually going to go to user management so user management and then we see right here add proxy tag if your panel is not on the correct firmware you're not going to see this option so if you're going into this menu and you don't see this option there you need to update the firmware on the panel so we're going to do add proxy tag we're going to take our proxy tag and put it to this little indicator on the keypad right away we have the autolearn proxy tag showing up on the iq4 okay so now that we have it added to the system uh we can create the user so first you have the proxy tag name you can just leave it by default or you can put a custom description uh so for example I'll just put tag one pretty similar and then you can also set the user for this so by default it goes to admin we can also do add new user so we'll do that we'll just enter your name d y l a n I'll leave the last name blank we can add a custom user code so 43 2 1 you want to confirm that code here 4 3 2 1 the type uh we have user and guest which are essentially the same thing then you have Master which is the uh more the main arm and disarm code for the system so I'm just going to leave this as user expiration date so if you want this to work for only a certain amount of time you can send expiration date there we're just going to leave this as unlimited so this tag will always work with the system and then there's that proxy tag name I had set before so we'll do add user okay and then you see right here proxy tag shows my name type user and then the expiration date and we can go back to home we'll just do a quick test where I'm going to hold the tag up to our keypad okay we have the arming and then we can disarm the same way I'm going to hold the tag back to the keypad and then system disarmed okay so we have our proxy tag paired to our iq4 panel uh we assigned it to a user we made sure it was functioning both to arm and disarm arm the system so everything's working and looking good to go uh if you had any questions for us feel free to reach out we have a contact phone number the phone number is notified about any future uh videos that we release again my name is Dylan from alarm grid and thank you for watching
