IQ Fall Pendant

Give loved ones a simple way to call for help—and added peace of mind if they can’t press the button. The IQ Fall Pendant works with your IQ Panel to signal an emergency when the button is pressed and can also auto-detect certain falls to trigger an alarm. It’s compact, water-resistant, and supervised by your system for low battery and tamper notifications.

  • Professional setup & training so the pendant is enrolled correctly and everyone knows how to use it

  • 24/7 monitoring & mobile alerts through your IQ system

  • Placement guidance for comfort and reliable detection

  • Ongoing support from the Smart Shield Systems team


Key Features


  • Dual help options: Press the button anytime to call for help; automatic fall detection can trigger an alarm if a fall is detected. (Fall sensors don’t detect 100% of falls—press the button if you can.)

  • Water-resistant to IP45 for everyday splashes and low-pressure water jets.

Frequently Asked Questions


How does fall detection work?


The pendant includes sensors that can auto-trigger an emergency if certain fall patterns are detected. Because no fall sensor is 100% accurate, users should press the button whenever possible.


Is it water-resistant?


Yes. It’s IP45-rated, meaning it resists low-pressure water jets and everyday splashes. It’s not designed for submersion.


How long does the battery last?


Typical life is about 2 years with one activation per day. Your panel supervises the device and will alert you when the battery is low.


Will it work if my system is disarmed?


Yes. Once enrolled, pressing the button—or a qualifying fall detection event—signals the panel for emergency help regardless of arm state (per your monitoring setup).


Any usage tips?


Wear it around the neck and outside clothing for best performance, and place it on a nightstand or table when not worn to avoid accidental alarms. Avoid activating the fall sensor twice within 10 seconds.
