Using Honeywell 5800 Sensors on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2

In this video, Jarrett from Alarm Grid explains how you can use Honeywell 5800 Series Sensors with the 345 MHz version of the IQ Panel 2 Plus. Since Honeywell 5800 Sensors transmit at 345 MHz, they will work with systems that include 345 MHz wireless receivers, including the 345 MHz IQ Panel 2 Plus.

There are three versions of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. There is a 319.5 MHz version. There is a 345 MHz version. And there is a 433 MHz version. Only the 345 MHz version can support Honeywell 5800 Sensors. The other versions cannot. It's also useful to know that all three (3) versions of the IQ Panel 2 Plus can support the 915 MHz PowerG Sensors. Additionally, there is also an original "non-Plus" version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2. However, the original IQ Panel 2 System can only support 319.5 MHz sensors. Common examples of 319.5 MHz sensors include those from Qolsys and Interlogix.

Honeywell is historically known for their 345 MHz sensors from their 5800 Series. These sensors will work with the 345 MHz version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. However, it is important to note that you can only use uni-directional "one-way" 345 MHz Honeywell 5800 Sensors with the 345 MHz IQ Panel 2 Plus. You cannot use bi-directional 5800 Sensors with the 345 MHz IQ Panel 2 Plus. This includes devices like the Honeywell 5800WAVE and the Honeywell 5834-4 Key Fob when used in High Security Mode. In addition to uni-directional Honeywell 5800 Sensors and PowerG Sensors, the 345 MHz Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus can also support 345 MHz 2GIG Sensors. This does not include the encrypted 2GIG eSeries Sensors. Additionally, you cannot use Honeywell SiX Series Sensors with the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. Honeywell SiX Series Sensors are designed exclusively for use with the Honeywell Lyric Alarm System.
