Programming A Smoke Detector - IQ Panel (Video Included)

Make sure your system is disarmed during this process. Start by selecting “Settings”

Enter your “Installer Code”, in this case I’m going to use the default which is “1111”

Select “Installation"

Select “Security Sensors”

Select “Auto Learn Sensor”

At this point, you’ll need to tamper your device. To do this, take your smoke detector and open it by twisting the back mounting plate counter clockwise to release. 

Once this is done, the IQ Panel will beep and ask if you want to add the device to your sensor list. Select “OK”

Here you will need to program the proper information for this device.

• Sensor DL ID: Don't touch this option.
• Sensor Type: Select “Smoke Detector”
• Sensor Name: Select an appropriate name or create a "Custom Description"
• Chime Type: This allows you to apply a specific sound to your device when it’s tampered.
• Sensor Group: This is used to change the behavior of the device. For this device, leave the Sensor Group alone.
• Voice Prompts: This allows you turn on or off the vocal chime. 

When ready, select “Add New”

You’re done! Make sure to re-apply casing for your device by aligning the tab with the arrow and twisting it clockwise.
