Properly Closing the Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid shows you how to properly close the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus Security System. The trick to closing the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 is to align the four (4) tabs at the top first, then secure the two (2) bottom tabs, and lastly check the top tabs to make sure they are secured. Properly closing the IQ Panel 2 will ensure that the system doesn't emit reoccurring tamper alert sounds. When enabled, the system emits a sound every thirty (30) minutes to alert the user when the tamper is open.

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 can be a very tricky system to close properly. Many users ultimately give up, and they either live with the sound, or they disable the panel's tamper cover so that it stops making the sound entirely. But with a little bit of effort, you can get the system properly closed. From there, you should rarely need to open up the panel. The IQ Panel 2 has a built-in LTE cellular radio and a built-in WIFI card, and you should never need to replace its wireless receiver. The only real reason to open it up is to replace the backup battery. We recommend only opening the system if absolutely necessary, since it can be very tricky to close.

If you simply cannot get the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 to properly close, and you want to stop the reoccurring sounds, then you do have the option of disabling the system's tamper cover. This is done in the Security & Arming Menu for the system. Keep in mind that you will need the Installer Code (default 1111) or the Dealer Code (default 2222) for the system to access this menu. This should only be done as a last resort if you simply cannot close the panel. But it is an effective option for stopping the reoccurring sound.
