Overview

IQ Pro and IQ Pro P are hybrid security platforms with partitioned operation, PowerG wireless support, and multiple user interface paths.

Official source

Platform characteristics

  • Supports HS2LCD keypad interfaces
  • Supports PowerG PG wireless devices
  • Supports IQ Remote user interfaces
  • Supports partition-based operation for multi-area sites

Service perspective

Plan keypad and IQ Remote layout per partition so operators always have local status and arming control in assigned areas.

Troubleshooting

Interface parity checks

  • Confirm trouble state consistency between HS2LCD and IQ Remote displays.
  • If states differ, verify partition assignment and panel sync.

PowerG troubleshooting

  • Recheck enrollment and signal path for PG sensors.
  • Validate final mounted location behavior, not only bench enrollment.

Partition behavior checks

  • Confirm users, keypads, and remotes are mapped to intended partitions.
  • Validate arming/disarming permissions per partition.
  • Single-partition sites: all keypads may show global status; multi-partition sites require partition-select on HS2LCD before arming.

Testing before handoff

  • Run walk test and verify PG device supervision on each partition.
  • Test IQ Remote arming/disarming on assigned partition only.
  • Confirm Alarm.com mobile app (if enabled) is not used on UL/ULC listed fire installs unless explicitly approved.

Communication checks

  • Clear local trouble first.
  • Re-run path test and verify report transmission end-to-end.
