How Do I Add a Z-Wave Light to a Simon XT?
A Z-Wave light is learned in with a Simon XT by first clearing the light from the network. The light can then be learned in with the system by putting the system in its inclusion mode and activating the inclusion function on the light. Learn how to add a Z-Wave light to an Interlogix Simon XT.
Can I Use a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 w/o Monitoring?
A Qolsys IQ Panel 2 can technically be used and operated without active monitoring service. But this will severely limit the functionality of the panel. The system will have no way of sending signals to a central monitoring station or to an end user. Learn more about the Qolsys IQ Panel 2.
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.
How Do I Add a Z-Wave Light to a Simon XTi or XTi-5?
A Z-Wave light is added to a Simon XTi or XTi-5 System by putting the panel into its learn mode and then activating the inclusion function on the light. The light should be cleared from the network before attempting to do this. Learn how to add a Z-Wave light to a Simon XTi or XTi-5 System.
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.
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?
