Qolsys IQ Panel 4: Adding Prox Tags

In this video, Dylan from Alarm Grid shows you how to add a proximity tag to a Qolsys IQ Panel 4. To do this, you must be using a PowerG Wired-to-Wireless converter module with a wired keypad attached that supports proximity tags. In the video, we're using the DSC HS2LCDP N keypad. You can also use the DSC HS2LCDICNP keypad.

Before you can add the keypad needed to use proximity tags, you must learn the PG9WLSHW8 wired-to-wireless converter module to the panel. Before enrolling the module, all zones, sirens, and PGM devices should be connected. The module enrolls just like any other wireless zone and can be auto-enrolled by pressing the Enroll Button, located on the module board. The Sensor Type should be set to Wireless Translator.
Once you have the PG9WLSHW8 module enrolled into a zone, you can then add the keypad. Go to Menu - Settings - Advanced Settings - Enter Installer Code (1111 by default) - Installation - Devices - Add Device. This allows you to manually add the keypad. Enter the PG9WLSHW8 converter module serial number in the Sensor DL ID section. This can be found on a sticker on the module. The hardwire input will automatically show CORBUS, if not, be sure CORBUS is selected. Module Type should be set to Keypad.
The Sensor ESN can be found on the box that the hardwired keypad came in. Below the model number, you'll see SN: with an 8-character alphanumeric sequence. Enter this in the Sensor ESN field. Sensor Group tells the system if this is a fixed (wired) keypad, or a wireless one, and what type of keypad panic you want to enable. We choose Sensor Group 0 - Fixed Intrusion. This means a keypad panic will cause an intrusion alarm sound and report. You have further options to enable/disable keypad tamper, enable/disable voice prompts, keypad backlight on/off, and you can customize the keypad Sensor Name. "Source" should automatically be set to PowerG. Once all settings have been correctly selected, press Add New.
Now you can begin adding proximity tags. You do this through user code programming. From the Home screen press the gray menu bar at the top, then Settings - Advanced Settings - Enter Installer, Dealer, or Master Code (1111, 2222, or 1234 respectively, by default) - User Management. Once in User Management, tap "Add Prox Tag." If you don't see the option to "Add Prox Tag" it could be that your panel needs a Firmware Update. The panel must be on Firmware 4.1.0+. This can also be caused by the panel not seeing the hardware required to support proximity tags.
After pressing "Add Prox Tag" immediately scan the proximity tag you want to program. Each keypad that supports proximity tags will come with a tag. You can buy additional tags separately. To scan the tag, place it against the "bullseye" shaped icon on the keypad. The panel will indicate that it has learned a new tag. Press "OK" to accept the enrollment. You can give the tag a familiar name, but by default, each tag will be named in ascending order, starting with Proximity Tag 1.
Each proximity tag must be assigned to a user code for event logging and reporting purposes. You can choose an existing user code, or you can add a new code from within the proximity tag programming dialog. If you need to add a new user code, select "Add New Code" from the drop-down menu. Provide a First Name, Last Name, and a 4-digit code (depending on panel programming, this could be a 6-digit code). Reenter the code to confirm it and choose a User Type (Master, User, or Guest). When you've filled out all the information, press "Add User."
This will return you to the "Add Prox Tag" screen. You must hit the drop-down menu again, select the user you just created, and finally, hit "Add Prox Tag" one final time. You have now successfully added the proximity tag, and you're ready to test it. Press the Home icon at the bottom of the panel screen. Now, if you present the proximity tag to the keypad, the armed status of the panel will be toggled. This means if the system is disarmed, it will now arm. If the system is armed, it will be disarmed when the proximity tag is presented.
