Geoarm Security here today I'm going to show you how
to install the Qolsys IQ
wireless security system the transformer will come with the panel the desk mount
and the wiring cable will come separately these both come together
these are really neat really good for diyer out there that are looking for a
quick install and not have to worry about hard wiring or stripping any wires
of any sort it's been selling off the charts
so we figured we make a how-to video on how to install it to make it a little
bit easier for you
alright so the first thing we're going to do is grab the qolsys iq panel
turn it up on its side you're going to need a small phillips screwdriver
go ahead and start unscrewing righty tighty lefty loosey
all right once it's completely unscrewed pull the screw out a place that to the
side and don't lose it because you will need it
all right i'm going to show you some cool little tricks here alright so the
first thing we're going to do is just pull this back covering off
all right and we're going to place that to the side for the time being
all right we're going to take our wire here that comes with the desk mount and
we're going to go ahead and wire up the transformer
alright so if you look closely you'll see there's a positive on the left and a
negative just make sure you verify that those are correct on yours
all right and then you're going to see that this wire comes with the problems
already made which makes things a lot easier for people
all right so you're going to see what there's two similar wires one will be
solid white the other will be a solid white with a black strip all right the
solid white with the black strip we're going to use as the negative so that
means that's going to go on the right side
put that one in and make sure that it is the correct one screw it in like so now
you're going to take the positive or the solid white put that into the positive
side
go ahead and screw that in all right give it a little tug make sure that's in
there good
alright so now that that's prepared you can place that to the side now we'll be
working with the deskmount
don't see the little rubber grips there for the surface mount
all right and you're going to take your back original panel
alright so the first thing you're going to do to make everything a little bit
easier is you're going to take the opposite end of this wire
all right and you're going to slide it in like so should fit in the groove very
nicely
all right that'll keep it from pulling out or anything like that once it's
mounted
now you're going to take the back mounting bracket
all right make sure these two wires go through the back like so that you're
going to see these top two prongs here and here
those are going to slide nicely and it slides up to lock into place
alright so now you have the qolsys desk mount with the wiring with the wire all set
all right now keep an eye for the white wire with the black strip and the solid
white wire
all right now what I like to do is take a look at the panel
alright so now that I've zoomed in a little bit you can see we're going to be
working with these far too right terminals DC in - in DC in plus all
right so let's locate the negative wire which we said was going to be the solid
white with the black strip and the power wire which would be solid white we're
going to do a little trick here we're going to get them both into their
allotted terminals like so
I like to put them both in at the same time once they're both in at the same
time
take the screwdriver go ahead and screw in the left terminal
right now you're going to notice on the bottom and there's little clips those
are going to slide in on underneath first and then push the top in which
locks everything into place
all right you're going to take your screw that you still have put that back
into the top screw it in holding everything in place
all right now that that's screwed in
now you'll see that this is sitting on the desk mount at an angle which is
really nice now i'm gonna go ahead and plug it in and that's how you install
your IQ deskmount into the Qolsys IQ system
