Qolsys IQ Carbon Frequently Asked Questions
Will Honeywell 5800 Sensors Work on an Interlogix Simon XT?
The Simon XT communicates with wireless sensors that operate at a frequency of 319.5 MHz. Since Honeywell 5800 Sensors operate at a frequency of 345 MHz, they cannot be used with the system. But there are many other sensors that will work instead. Find out which sensors will work with a Simon XT.
Where Do I Place a Carbon Monoxide Detector?
You should have at least one CO detector on each floor of your home. Some common locations for CO detectors include near bedrooms and near attached garages. The devices should be placed 5 feet off the ground and away from direct sunlight or moisture. Learn more about where to place CO detectors.
Where Should I Install a Carbon Monoxide Detector?
There are some simple guidelines to follow when deciding where to install a CO detector. Depending on the size of the building, you may need to install more than one. Typically, there should be at least one CO detector on each floor of the building. Learn more about where to install a CO detector.
Do Carbon Monoxide Detectors Detect Natural Gas Leaks?
A carbon monoxide detector will not detect a natural gas leak. These devices are only for detecting carbon monoxide, unless otherwise stated. Most natural gas companies will put an additive in the gas to help others detect a natural gas leak. Learn more about carbon monoxide detectors.
Can I Use Wired Contacts on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2?
In order for you to use wired contacts with a Qolsys IQ Panel 2, you will need to use a compatible wireless converter, such as the Qolsys Hardwire 16-S.
