Qolsys IQ Keypad-PG

IQ Keypad PG — PowerG wireless keypad for arming/disarming and status away from the main panel.

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.

Pre-install checklist

• Confirm panel model (IQ Panel 4/5/Pro/Hub) and encryption requirements.
• Verify dealer cell account and module SKU before cell install.
• Document installer code and existing zone map for takeover jobs.
• Plan antenna routing (ANT5XL) when panel location has poor cell RSSI.
• Have listed batteries and tools for sensor mounts before enrollment.

Typical install sequence

1. Mount and power panel; apply firmware updates per dealer bulletin.
2. Install cell module and run communication test / Alarm.com activation.
3. Enroll wireless sensors via installer Learn mode; label zones.
4. Include Z-Wave devices after excluding from any prior hub.
5. Install IQ Card for legacy sensors or optimize PowerG placement before fringe wireless devices.
6. Run walk test, user code training, and central station test if monitored.

Why does my zone show trouble?

Most common: low battery, tamper open, out of range, or wrong sensor type for the panel receiver (PowerG vs legacy 319/345 MHz sensors).

How do I replace a sensor?

Delete old zone in installer programming, enroll replacement using Learn mode, and test walk test at final location.

Will Alarm.com show this device?

When the panel has active interactive service, enrolled zones appear in the Alarm.com app with status matching the panel.

How do I test after installation?

Use panel walk test, zone status, and (if monitored) central station test per dealer procedure.

Can I mix PowerG and 319/345 MHz legacy sensors?

PowerG needs IQ Panel/H hub; 319/345 needs IQ Card 319/345 installed transceiver hardware — they do not enroll on the standard 345 MHz receiver alone.
