The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 on firmware version 2.3.0+ can be set to have either 4-digit or 6-digit user codes.
On firmware versions below 2.3.0, the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 can only have 4-digit user codes.
Enable/disable 6 digit user codes
The number of digits in a user code can be enabled or disabled using the Partner Portal or MobileTech app.
Considerations
- All user codes on a system must be the same length.
- If a panel is updated from 4-digit to 6-digit user codes in programming, all current user codes add 00 at the end of each code. (e.g., 1234 changes to 123400).
- If a panel is updated from 6-digit to 4-digit user codes in programming, all current user codes remove the last two digits (e.g., 123456 changes to 1234).
- Both 4-digit and 6-digit user codes are compatible with being updated using Alarm.com.
