INSTALLATION MANUAL
STEP 1: INSTALL THE HARDWARE
Close, then Open the Door to
the enclosure on the IQ
Hardwire 16-F. This will
“tamper” the module and send a
learn in signal to the IQ Panel 2
STEP 2: PAIR THE IQ HARDWIRE 16 - F WITH THE IQ PANEL 2
Note: This step is required and allows the IQ Panel 2 to control the wireless Siren Relay, reset the two-wire smoke detectors after a fire event and supervise the battery,
AC power status, aux power out & tamper. The IQ Panel 2 must have the Tx/Rx 319.5 MHz SRF card installed with RF PIC 11.1.4 G2 or higher.
Press and hold “EOL LEARN”
for 1-2 secs.
(all Zone LED’s
flash and then turn off)
EOL CAL LED will turn ON.
This indicates the module is
now in “Auto Learn” mode
Follow the onscreen
prompts on the IQ Panel
to finish the enrolling
process. The IQ Hardwire
16-F should be learned in
as a “Hardwire Translator”
Place your IQ Panel 2 in “Auto
Learn” mode:

1. Mount the IQ Hardwire 16-F enclosure vertically in your desired location
2. Install the provided antenna through the hole in the top of the enclosure and into the “ANT” terminal at the top of the
unit, keeping it free from obstructions
3. Wire all hardwired sensors into the terminals marked Zone 1-15. Zone 16 is reserved for two-wire smoke detectors:
a. All zones must have either a 4.7k resistor (included) or a 1k - 10k resistor installed, depending on the
which Resistor Mode is selected (see Troubleshooting on page 3), in either the N/O (parallel) or N/C
(series) position.
b. Wire the positive and negative leads from powered devices, such as motion sensors and glass break
detectors, into the “AUX” (+) and “GND” (-) terminals to power the devices.
c. The case tamper should be pre-wired from the factory and does not require a resistor. If the case
tamper is not being used, permanently shunt the zone with a piece of wire.
d. Optional: Wire the hardwired siren (60VDC/1A Max, see wiring diagram).
4. Plug in a 5Ah lead acid backup battery with included battery leads (battery not included) and secure in place with the
appropriate battery strap.
5. Using the provided 16vDC power supply, connect the leads to the terminals marked “+16.0V” & “GND”, then plug then
supply into a wall outlet.
NOTE: dashed wire is positive.
RESISTOR MODES:
Change between two distinct resistor modes. The default mode is “UL Mode” where 4.7k resistors are required on each zone. In
this mode the Processor LED blinks rapidly (8 times per second).
If UL installation is not required, “EOL Resistor Learning” can be enabled. In this mode the Processor LED blinks slowly (1 time per second) and any resistor
value from 1k to 10k can be used.
NOTE: Zone 16 is dedicated for 2-wire smokes and requires a 4.7k resistor regardless of Resistor Mode.
To change modes, power down the unit (battery & AC), hold down “EOL LEARN” for 8 seconds while re-applying power to the device. Processor, RF Xmit
and EOL CAL LED’s will begin to flash rapidly indicating that the mode has been changed.
