Using 2GIG Sensors On a Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains how you can use 2GIG 345 MHz Sensors with the 345 MHz version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. This includes any uni-directional 2GIG 345 MHz Sensor. You cannot use the 2GIG eSeries Encrypted Sensors with a 345 MHz Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus Security System.

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus is designed to be used with PowerG Sensors and one legacy sensor frequency. Since the 2GIG Sensors operate at 345 MHz, you must have the 345 MHz version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus if you want to use them with your Qolsys System. These sensors cannot be used with the 319.5 MHz or the 433 MHz versions of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. They also cannot be used with original non-Plus IQ Panel 2, as that system only works with 319.5 MHz sensors.

If you have a compatible 2GIG Sensor, then you will need to enroll it with your 345 MHz Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus before it will work. We strongly recommend auto-enrolling these sensors. While you can technically perform a manual enrollment, auto-enrollment is the best way to ensure that your sensor is communicating with the panel successfully. It also prevents you from entering the Serial Number for the sensor incorrectly.

Please note that you cannot use the 2GIG eSeries Encrypted Sensors with any version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. The 2GIG eSeries Sensors are for the 2GIG GC2e and 2GIG GC3e Systems only. If you are looking for encrypted sensors that you can use with the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus Alarm System, then you might consider going with the DSC PowerG Sensors. All versions of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus Security System can support the PowerG Sensors from DSC.
