Release Notes:
We are pleased to announce the release of V80.25 firmware for the PowerG Wireless radio used in the Qolsys IQ
Panel 2 Plus. This firmware resolves incompatibility with certain older PowerG detector versions, and contains
improvements that resolve delayed transmissions from PowerG sensors enrolled in certain zones. This is a
mandatory upgrade for any new Qolsys IQ Panel 2 units, and for any existing Qolsys IQ Panel 2 units with V80.17
PowerG radio firmware that are installed in the field.
Fixes/Improvements:
•
Resolves incompatibility with PowerG Wireless Carbon Monoxide Detector (PG9933) V1.0.3

Resolves incompatibility with PowerG Wireless Digital Pet-Immune PIR Motion Detector (PG9914) V3.0.5 and
V3.0.7

Update Instructions:
This firmware is available for install now via patch tag. This firmware will also be made available for over-the-air
upgrade via the Alarm.com Dealer portal on June 24. Instructions for installation via patch tag or over-the-air
method can be found below.
It is mandatory that this upgrade be used on any new Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus installations, to ensure proper
functionality. Existing installs should be upgraded to the new firmware by patch tag if there is a technician on site,
or remotely via the Alarm.com interactive portal on or after June 24.

then touch OK.
6- Touch "Upgrade Using Network" (panel must be connected to Wi-Fi). Update will download and install. Note
that the progress bar may pause
¼
of the way through the upgrade, and then jump to the end once the upgrade
is complete. This is expected behavior for this upgrade, and does not signify a problem with the installation of the
upgrade.
7- Once the panel has completed its reboot, it may take up to 20 minutes before the PowerG sensors re-sync
with the panel. During this time, you may experience delayed open/close reports from some sensors. Once the
devices have all checked in, there will be no delay.
