Removing a Z Wave Device from a Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to remove or exclude a Z-Wave device from a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. By removing a Z-Wave device, you are actually wiping out the Z-Wave network data for the sensor, which will allow it to pair with a Z-Wave network. This exclusion process is typically performed before adding the sensor to the network, even if it is brand-new. It is also performed if a user intends on selling or giving away the Z-Wave device.

It is almost always best practice to clear a Z-Wave device from the network before attempting enrollment. Even new Z-Wave devices that are fresh out of the packaging may have residual network data from factory testing. This network data can prevent successful enrollment, so it is nearly always a good idea to exclude first and then attempt enrollment afterward. It is important to note that you can perform a successful exclusion process even if the Z-Wave device in question is not actively enrolled with a Z-Wave network. The IQ Panel 2 will still show that a device was cleared from the network successfully.

The general exclusion process for any Z-Wave controller, including the Qolsys IQ Panel 2, involves putting the controller or hub into its exclusion mode and then activating the exclusion function on the Z-Wave device. Many Z-Wave devices follow the same process for inclusion that they use for exclusion. It is often as simple as locating the Z-Wave inclusion/exclusion button and pressing it. Some Z-Wave devices, such as Z-Wave door locks, may require you to enter a specific code or command sequence in order to send the inclusion/exclusion signal. After performing the exclusion process, you won't be able to control the Z-Wave device from the system until you re-enroll it through a traditional pairing process.
