Programming a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Alarm System

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid shows you how to program a Qolsys Panel 2 System. The Qolsys Panel 2 is known for being one of the most user-friendly security systems available. It is a perfect DIY panel, and it is great for new users who are not used to setting up their own alarm system.

The process for programming a Qolsys Panel 2 is the same whether you are using an original Qolsys Panel 2, or you are using a newer Qolsys Panel 2 Plus System. The only difference is the type of sensors these systems support. The original Qolsys Panel 2 can only support wireless 319.5 MHz sensors, which include the Qolsys S-Line Sensors that use rolling code encryption. The Qolsys Panel 2 Plus is a bit more robust. There are three (3) different varieties of the Qolsys Panel 2 Plus, and each one can support a different legacy frequency. These legacy frequencies are 319.5 MHz, 345 MHz, and 433 MHz. You can only choose one (1) of these legacy frequencies, and it will depend on which version of the Qolsys Panel 2 Plus you purchase.

Additionally, all versions of the Qolsys Panel 2 Plus can support wireless 915 MHz PowerG Sensors. These sensors utilize military-grade 128-bit AES encryption. This makes them virtually impossible for others to hack or takeover wirelessly. These sensors are also known for their impressive wireless range. The sensors can communicate with an Panel 2 Plus System from up to two (2) kilometers away. Keep in mind that this is 2 km in an open air environment. Obstacles like thick walls and large metal objects can disrupt wireless communication and prevent the sensors from communicating with the system from far away. Keep that in mind when setting up your sensors.
