Today, we're going to show you how to mount the IQ Panel on the wall.
First, you need to find the best location in the home to place your panel.
Ideally you want to find a place [in] the middle of the home to optimize range
for your Encrypted Security, Life Safety, and Z-Wave Devices.
Also consider the habits of the homeowner.
which doors do they use the most as they come and go?
and where the most convenient point of access for the panel will be.
And don't forget to find a spot with available power
Next, we're going to run our power wire.
You can either use the included five foot long cable with a barrel [Jack] connector
or you can run your own wire to the screw list terminal block.
If you choose to use [your] own wire we recommend using 18/2 gauge
and make sure that you keep it less than 25 feet [long].
This will ensure that the panel is adequately powered.
Start by removing the [rear] access cover.
Because we're mounting the panel to the wall you don't need this part.
So just simply throw it away.
Remove the backplate by pushing down [on] the two tabs located at the bottom of the panel.
Now that we have the backplate removed,
we can mount it to the wall using a single, double, or triple gang mounting hole.
Make sure your back plates level before you tighten the screws.
Remember to leave the bottom screw hole open,
you'll use this to route your antenna .
Use the provided hang strap to free up your hands during the install.
Using a small screwdriver or similar tool poke a hole through [the] [wall]
Large enough to feed the antenna through.
The antenna is flexible, so it will take a little work to get it through the wall.
This next part could be a little tricky,
but watch what I do and it can help!
Notice these four tabs on the top of the [backplate]
They correspond to the four points at the top of the panel.
To [Mount] the panel properly, rest it on those tabs at about a 45 degree angle.
Wiggle it left and right a little bit and you'll feel it fall into place.
Next, hinge it downward and use one finger to push the antenna
into the wall as far as it will go.
As long as the Antenna and hanging strap are in place.
You can simply snap the panel [closed].
If you notice the gap at the top this just means the tabs are not seated properly.
pinch the top until it clicks into place.
After you've connected the wire to the panel, it's time to wire up the transformer.
Make sure to only use the included 5.5V DC power supply.
Using a different power supply could result in permanent damage.
Take note to wire the positive and negative leads properly.
If using the provided wire, the striped one with the red Connector is positive.
Remove the existing screw from the outlet cover.
Insert the power supply into the retainer bracket.
Use the provided zip tie to secure the power supply to the retainer bracket.
Then peel the [adhesive] off
and secure it to the wall with the screw provided.
And that's it!
power up the panel by pressing the power [button] for three seconds, and then it's ready to use.
