IQ Mini Extended

Get clean, reliable door/window protection—even in tricky spots. The IQ Mini Extended is an ultra-compact S-Line encrypted contact with a built-in reed switch and screw-terminal inputs for a nearby external (NC) contact. It’s ideal when the sensor must sit away from the actual opening (safes, cabinets, overhead doors) while still giving you standard open/close alerts and smart automations.

Why Choose the IQ Mini Extended with Smart Shield Systems


  • Pro placement & wiring for the cleanest install on doors, windows, safes, and garage doors

  • Fast enrollment & testing so alerts and automations behave exactly how you expect

  • Ongoing support for batteries, naming, chimes, and Alarm.com notifications


Key Features


  • Encrypted S-Line radio (319.5 MHz) to your IQ Panel, with backward compatibility for legacy 319.5 systems.

  • External terminals for a nearby normally-closed wired contact (keep lead length ≤20 ft).

  • Rare-earth magnet and compact body make tight installations easy; gap up to ~3/4″ when aligned correctly.

  • Smart rules & notifications (e.g., text if a door/window is left open; “turn on light when door opens”).

  • Long life design: dual coin cells; marketing claims up to 8–10 years, with installer guidance to replace every ~5 years.

Popular Use Cases


  • Garage doors & gates (sensor on framing, wired contact at the door track)

  • Medicine cabinets / gun safes where the sensor must sit out of sight

  • Tricky window moulding that needs extra gap forgiveness (rare-earth magnet)


Frequently Asked Questions


What’s the difference between the IQ Mini and the IQ Mini Extended?


Functionally similar, but the Extended version adds screw-terminal inputs for a nearby NC wired contact—handy when the wireless body can’t sit right at the opening.


How far can I run the external leads?


Keep the external contact’s lead length at or under 20 ft, per the quick-install guide.


What magnet gap should I expect?


When aligned correctly, the guide specifies a maximum gap of about 3/4″ between sensor and magnet.


What batteries does it use and how long do they last?


Two CR2032 coin cells. The product page cites up to 8–10 years of life, and the quick guide recommends replacing with the exact type about every 5 years; your panel will alert for low battery.


Will it work with my IQ Panel?


Yes—if your system supports 319.5 MHz sensors. It uses S-Line encryption with compatible IQ panels and is backward-compatible with many legacy 319.5 systems. We’ll confirm firmware during your quote.


Ready for a Tidy, Flexible Contact Install?


Smart Shield Systems will design placement, wire the external contact (if needed), enroll your IQ Mini Extended (QS1137-840), and set up the right notifications and rules—so you always know what’s open, closed, or left ajar.
