4. Driftsprincipper

Once installed, the IQ Card-PG enables your Qolsys panel to communicate with PowerG wireless sensors. PowerG technology offers several advantages over traditional wireless security protocols:

• Tovejskommunikation: Sensors and the panel constantly communicate, confirming signals and ensuring reliability.
• Adaptive Transmission Power: Sensors automatically adjust their transmission power based on the distance from the panel, conserving battery life and optimizing performance.
• Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS): This technique constantly changes frequencies, making the system highly resistant to interference and jamming attempts.
• TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access): Allows multiple sensors to communicate with the panel without collisions, improving efficiency and reliability.
• 128-bit AES-kryptering: All communications are encrypted, providing a high level of security against unauthorized access and tampering.
• Udvidet rækkevidde: PowerG sensors can operate at significantly greater distances from the control panel compared to other wireless technologies, allowing for broader coverage.

The IQ Card-PG acts as the bridge, translating the PowerG signals for your Qolsys panel, allowing you to integrate a wide range of PowerG-enabled devices such as motion detectors, door/window contacts, and more.

5. Vedligeholdelse

The Qolsys IQ Card-PG is designed for long-term, maintenance-free operation once installed. As an internal component, it requires minimal user intervention.

• Miljøforhold: Ensure your Qolsys control panel, and thus the IQ Card-PG, is kept in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight.
• Rensning: Do not attempt to clean the card directly. If the control panel requires cleaning, follow the manufacturer's instructions for the panel itself.
• Firmwareopdateringer: Periodically check for firmware updates for your Qolsys control panel. These updates may include enhancements or bug fixes related to the PowerG module's performance. Follow the update procedures provided by Qolsys.
• Fysisk inspektion: If you ever need to open your control panel for other reasons, you can visually inspect the card to ensure it remains securely seated and free from visible damage.

6. Fejlfinding
