Overview
IQ Card radio module — adds legacy sensor frequency support (319.5 MHz, 345 MHz, 433 MHz), PowerG, Zigbee, or Ethernet to compatible IQ panels.
On IQ Panel systems, wireless devices are supervised zones on the panel — tamper, low battery, and missing signals appear as trouble conditions that may block arming depending on panel programming.
