- Step 1: install the hardware
- Mount the IQ Hardwire 16-F vertically in your desired location
- Install the provided antenna into the “ANT” terminal at the top of the unit free from obstructions
- If mounting inside a metal can, the antenna must extend outside the enclosure to ensure RF communication
- Wire all hardwired sensors into the terminals marked zones 1-15. Zone 16 is reserved for two-wire smoke detectors: 2W-B, 2WT-B, 2WTA-B
- Wire the positive and negative leads from powered devices, such as motion, glass breaks, etc.
- All zones must have a 4.7k resistor (included) in either the N/O (parallel) or N/C (series) position
- Wire a tamper switch into the tamper terminals without using a resistor. If a tamper switch is not being used, permanently shunt the zone with a piece of wire
- Plug in a 5Ah lead acid backup battery with included battery leads (battery not included)
- Using the provided 16vDC power supply, connect the leads to the terminals marked “+16.0V” & “GND” then plug supply into a wall outlet
- Dashed wire is positive
- It is recommended to clear the memory when installing the unit for the first time
- Step 2: Pairing the IQ Hardwire 16 with the IQ Panel
- Press and hold “EOL Learn” for 1-2 seconds (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
- Place your IQ Panel 2/2+ in “Auto Learn”
- Trip the model by opening the tamper switch or by removing jumper installed in step 1 from the “tamper” terminals, then replace
- Follow onscreen prompts on the IQ Panel to finish the enrolling process. The IQ Hardwire 16-F should be learned in as “Hardwire translator”
- Step 3: Pairing individual Zones/Sensors:
- 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.
- The IQ Panel will “chime” indicating it has found a new sensor. Touch “ok” to proceed
- Customize the type and settings as desired. Repeat for each zone
- When a sensor has been tripped, the zone LED will illuminate and stay on until you exit “auto learn” mode
- 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
- Best Practices
- It is recommended to clear the memory when installing the unit for the first time
- All zones must have a 4.7k resistor (included)
- Create an alarm condition on learn in of zones. Two wire smoke detectors should be activated via the test button on the detector or with a can of smoke
- Make sure to exit EOL mode for normal operation
- Processor LED will flash during normal operation
- Make sure you learn in the IQ Hardwire 16-F as “hardwire translator” This will make it so the IQ Panel will reset the 2 wire smoke zone and trigger the wireless siren relay
- Keep motions powered down or covered to avoid learning them in as other zones
Install the 16-F Hardwire Translator to the IQ Panel 2/2+
