STEP 1: INSTALL THE HARDWARE
Close, then Open the Door to
the enclosure on the IQ
Hardwire 16-F. This will
“tamper” the module and send a
learn in signal to the IQ Panel 2
STEP 2: PAIR THE IQ HARDWIRE 16 - F WITH THE IQ PANEL 2
Note: This step is required and allows the IQ Panel 2 to control the wireless Siren Relay, reset the two-wire smoke detectors after a fire event and supervise the battery,
AC power status, aux power out & tamper. The IQ Panel 2 must have the Tx/Rx 319.5 MHz SRF card installed with RF PIC 11.1.4 G2 or higher.
Press and hold “EOL LEARN”
for 1-2 secs.
(all Zone LED’s
flash and then turn off)
EOL CAL LED will turn ON.
This indicates the module is
now in “Auto Learn” mode
Follow the onscreen
prompts on the IQ Panel
to finish the enrolling
process. The IQ Hardwire
16-F should be learned in
as a “Hardwire Translator”
Place your IQ Panel 2 in “Auto
Learn” mode:

1.
Mount the IQ Hardwire 16-F enclosure vertically in your desired location
2.
Install the provided antenna through the hole in the top of the enclosure and into the “ANT” terminal at the top of the
unit, keeping it free from obstructions
3.
Wire all hardwired sensors into the terminals marked Zone 1-15. Zone 16 is reserved for two-wire smoke detectors:
a.
All zones must have either a 4.7k resistor (included) or a 1k - 10k resistor installed, depending on the
which Resistor Mode is selected (see Troubleshooting on page 3), in either the N/O (parallel) or N/C
(series) position.
b.
Wire the positive and negative leads from powered devices, such as motion sensors and glass break
detectors, into the “AUX” (+) and “GND” (-) terminals to power the devices.
c.
The case tamper should be pre-wired from the factory and does not require a resistor. If the case
tamper is not being used, permanently shunt the zone with a piece of wire.
d.
Optional: Wire the hardwired siren (60VDC/1A Max, see wiring diagram).
4.
Plug in a 5Ah lead acid backup battery with included battery leads (battery not included) and secure in place with the
appropriate battery strap.
5.
Using the provided 16vDC power supply, connect the leads to the terminals marked “+16.0V” & “GND”, then plug then
supply into a wall outlet.
NOTE: dashed wire is positive.
RESISTOR MODES:

Change between two distinct resistor modes. The default mode is “UL Mode” where 4.7k resistors are required on each zone. In
this mode the Processor LED blinks rapidly (8 times per second).
If UL installation is not required, “EOL Resistor Learning” can be enabled. In this mode the Processor LED blinks slowly (1 time per second) and any resistor
value from 1k to 10k can be used.
NOTE: Zone 16 is dedicated for 2-wire smokes and requires a 4.7k resistor regardless of Resistor Mode.

To change modes, power down the unit (battery & AC), hold down “EOL LEARN” for 8 seconds while re-applying power to the device. Processor, RF Xmit
and EOL CAL LED’s will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the mode has been changed. EOL LEARN Button:
Enters and exits
“Auto Learn” mode.
MEMORY RESET Button:
Clears
memory and resets the device to
factory defaults when held for 3
seconds during power up
PROCESSOR LED:
Flashes during
normal operation
RF XMIT LED:
Flashes when RF
transmission is being sent
EOL CAL LED:
Flashes when no
zones have been learned in yet. ON
when device is in “Auto Learn” mode.
OFF when device is in “Normal
Operation Mode”
ZONES 1-15 LEDs:
OFF while in
“Auto Learn” mode unless a zone has
been learned in or tripped, then ON.
OFF while in “Normal Operation
Mode” unless a zone is open, then
ON or if a zone is tampered, then
FLASHES
TROUBLESHOOTING
ZONE 16 SMOKE LED:
ON when
smoke detector is in alarm
HOW TO CLEAR THE MEMORY:
Power down the unit by unplugging
the battery leads and the power
supply. Hold down “Memory Reset”
for 3 seconds while re-applying
power to the device. Processor, RF
Xmit and EOL CAL LED’s will begin to
flash rapidly indicating that the
module has been reset.
NOTE: It is recommended to Clear the
Memory when installing unit for the
first time or when switching between

between two distinct resistor modes.
The default mode is “UL Mode”
where 4.7k resistors are required on
each zone.
In this mode the
Processor LED blinks rapidly (8 times
per second).
If UL installation is not required, “EOL
Resistor Learning” can be enabled. In
this mode the Processor LED blinks
slowly (1 time per second) and any
resistor value from 1k to 10k can be
used.
NOTE: Zone 16 is dedicated for 2-wire
smokes and requires a 4.7k resistor
regardless of Resistor Mode.

To change modes, first power down
the unit by unplugging the battery
leads and the power supply. Next
hold down “EOL LEARN” for 8
seconds while re-applying power to
the device. Processor, RF Xmit and
EOL CAL LED’s will begin to flash
rapidly indicating that the mode has
been changed

INSTALLATION MANUAL
Trip (Open/Close) each
hardwired zone one at a
time.

Two-wire smoke detectors
should be activated via the
test button on the detector
or with a can of smoke
Once all desired zones have been
learned, press the “EOL LEARN”
button to exit “Auto Learn” mode.
The EOL CAL LED will turn OFF
indicating you are no longer in
“Auto Learn” mode and all zone
LED’s will turn OFF.
When a sensor has been
tripped, the Zone LED will
illuminate and stay on until
you exit “Auto Learn” mode.
STEP 3: PAIRING INDIVIDUAL ZONES/SENSORS
Customize the sensor
type and settings as
desired. Repeat for
each zone.
The IQ Panel 2 will
“chime” indicating it
has found a new
sensor. Touch “OK”
to proceed. Page
