IQ Hardwire 16-F (Large Enclosure)

Why Choose the IQ Hardwire 16-F with Smart Shield Systems

• Professional takeover design for smooth migration from legacy panels

• Clean, code-compliant wiring using the large enclosure for strain relief & routing

• Full testing & labeling so every zone matches your home’s layout

• Ongoing support and monitoring through your IQ Panel

Key Features

• 16 wired zones for doors, windows, motions, glass breaks, etc. (NO/NC supported).

• Supports up to 10 two-wire smoke detectors on the dedicated smoke zone.

• 500 mA @ 12VDC auxiliary power for powered sensors; onboard siren relay.

• Built-in status LEDs per zone for fast troubleshooting.

• Backup battery charging built in (12V battery, installer-supplied).

• EOL resistor learning: accepts fixed 4.7kΩ or learns 1k–10kΩ values to match existing wiring.

Technical Highlights (At-a-Glance)

• Model / Part #: QS7134-840 (Large Enclosure)

• Wireless to panel: 319.5 MHz (IQ Panel family) via the converter module

• Input power: 16.0 VDC plug-in transformer (included with kit)

• Aux power output: 12 VDC, 500 mA total for powered zones

• Backup battery: 12 VDC, up to 5 Ah (not included) with on-board charging

• Enclosure size: 16″ × 14″ × 3″ metal cabinet (ample wire routing room)

• Operating temperature: 32–122 °F (0–50 °C)

• Special note: Not for use with CO detectors. Use a dedicated wireless CO sensor.

Compatibility Notes

• Works with IQ Panel 2/2+/4 family using the 319.5 MHz path from the converter. We’ll confirm panel firmware before installation.

• Designed to replace an existing can (more room than the small-enclosure version).

• Two-wire smoke support includes common System Sensor models (e.g., 2W-B/2WT-B/2WTA-B) on the smoke zone.

Popular Use Cases

• Take over a legacy hardwired system and migrate it to an IQ Panel

• Reuse existing door/window loops, motions, and glass breaks

• Add a clean, labeled wiring hub with supervised battery and aux power

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between Large vs. Small Enclosure?

Functionality is the same; the Large Enclosure (QS7134-840) gives you a 16″×14″×3″ metal cabinet with room to replace an old can and route wires neatly. The Small Enclosure (QS7133-840) is sized for mounting inside an existing can.

Can I keep my old EOL resistors?

Yes. The module supports fixed 4.7kΩ or can learn 1k–10kΩ resistor values to match your existing loops—handy for clean takeovers.

How many smokes can I connect?

Up to 10 two-wire smoke detectors on the dedicated smoke zone, wired in parallel. (Not for CO detectors—use a separate wireless CO.)

Does it power my motion and glass-break sensors?

Yes. There’s 12VDC / 500 mA auxiliary power available for powered sensors (total), plus an onboard siren relay for your sounder circuit.

Will Smart Shield Systems move my old labels and test everything?

Absolutely. We label, enroll, and test every zone, confirm resistor values, verify aux power/siren operation, and train you on the IQ Panel app.
