In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid covers part 4 of our installing and using the Qolsys IQ Panel 2. This part covers arming and disarming the system, bypassing sensors, adjusting the arming settings, entry and exit delays, and automatic Bluetooth disarming. You will likely arm your system daily.

Arming and disarming your Qolsys IQ Panel 2 is something you should definitely know how to do if you use the system on a regular basis. When the system is in an armed state, then various zone types will be able to cause alarms on the system. This includes Entry/Exit, Interior, and Perimeter zones. When the system is in a disarmed state, then only 24-hour zones can trigger alarms. Some examples of 24-hour zones include panic switches, medical alert buttons, and life-safety sensors like smoke detectors and carbon monoxide sensors.

Depending on your system settings, you can arm a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 without needing to enter a code. But you will need to enter a valid code when you go to disarm the system. The system requires you to enter a valid code as a way of confirming your identity and making sure that you are authorized to use the system. If an intruder breaks in, then you do not want them to be disarm the system. That is why it is important that your system only has codes that you and the other people who use the system will know. It is also important that these codes are difficult for others to guess. If an intruder guesses a code correctly, then they will disarm the system!

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 has various arming settings that you will want to properly configure when you go to set up your system. You can also set up your phone with the system as a Bluetooth device. This way, you can have the system disarm automatically when you return home and your phone is within Bluetooth range.http://alrm.gd/get-monitored
