The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 and Partitioning

In this video, Jorge from Alarm Grid discusses the partitioning functions that are used with the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. Partitioning is a way to section off a system without having to bypass individual zones one by one. To use partitioning, an IQ Panel 2 System must be running FW 2.3.0 or higher.

A Qolsys IQ Panel 2 or IQ Panel 2 Plus System can support partitioning as long as it is running Firmware Version 2.3.0 or higher. If the system is running a lower firmware version, then a firmware upgrade must be performed. This can be done by the end user at the panel, provided the system is connected with Alarm.com for monitoring service and the end user knows the Installer Code (default 1111) or Dealer Code (default 2222) for the system.

However, an IQ Panel 2 System will only use partitioning if the feature is enabled. This is an option found within Installer Settings. Enabling the partitioning feature will also require that the lock screen for the system is also enabled. Whenever you go to use the system, you will need to provide a valid code before you can access the main screen. This way, the system will know who is using the panel. Depending on the code you enter at the lock screen, some features may be off-limits.

You can have up to four (4) partitions on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 System. Each zone on the system can be assigned to one of the four partitions. Additionally, life-safety sensors, such as smoke and heat detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, can be set up so that they trigger an alarm across the entire system when activated, regardless of which partition they are on. Each partition can be assigned a different set of user codes. This is perfect for limiting what certain users are able to do on the system.
