Versa Sensor Panel Compatibility Guide — All Major North American Panels

Panel Compatibility

One Versa sensor line covers every major North American panel.

Most sensor brands lock you into one panel ecosystem. Versa doesn't. The line covers 319.5 MHz, 345 MHz, 433 MHz, and Z-Wave 800 LR — so one brand stocks across Qolsys, 2GIG, Honeywell, Resideo, DSC, Elk, and Alula installs. This guide maps every Versa sensor to the panels it works with, the receiver requirements that decide whether a device even enrolls, the enrollment steps for each platform, and the panels where Versa sensors don't apply — so you know before the truck rolls.

Quick Reference: All Versa Sensors

Why "Install It Once" Matters

Every Versa sensor ships supervised — the panel checks each device at regular intervals and generates a trouble condition if a sensor goes silent. Supervision is the baseline of professional-grade hardware; it's what separates a monitored system from a basic DIY kit. Combined with Versa's tamper detection and long battery life, the practical result for dealers is fewer service calls and fewer customer complaints about dead sensors.

To receive legacy 319.5 MHz sensors, a Qolsys IQ Panel 4 (or IQ Panel 2+) needs the Qolsys 319.5 MHz RF module — the SRF daughter card, found on "Dual SRF" panels — installed. That module gives the panel backward compatibility with standard GE/Interlogix and Qolsys S-Line sensors. Without the SRF card, 319.5 MHz sensors won't learn into the panel at all.

With the SRF card present, the MINI-319, SHOCK-319, PIR-319, and PIR-DUAL (set to 319.5 MHz) enroll as standard supervised zones — no custom device types or tricks.

• MINI-319 — door/window contact, 319.5 MHz, Loop 1
• SHOCK-319 — shock + optional door/window contact, 319.5 MHz
• PIR-319 — PIR motion detector, 319.5 MHz
• PIR-DUAL — set internal switch to 319.5 MHz for Qolsys

The Alula Connect+ (and the legacy GE Security / UTC / Interlogix line it succeeds) reads 319.5 MHz GE/Interlogix sensors — the Connect+ includes a wireless-to-wireless translator that also handles 345 MHz Honeywell/2GIG and 433 MHz DSC formats. Versa's 319.5 MHz sensors enroll as supervised zones.

The GE/Interlogix brand was discontinued by Carrier/UTC around 2019, but millions of panels remain in service and drive steady takeover and battery-replacement work. Every 319.5 MHz Versa sensor is a direct-fit replacement for GE/Interlogix sensors on those legacy panels, and the Alula Connect+ is the current successor platform sold through the same channels.

• MINI-319 — direct replacement for GE/Interlogix door/window contacts
• SHOCK-319 — shock/vibration + optional door/window contact
• PIR-319 — PIR motion, 319.5 MHz
• PIR-DUAL — set to 319.5 MHz mode

The Elk M1 Gold is the standard platform for high-end residential and light-commercial integration, usually programmed with ElkRP2 software. It accepts 319.5 MHz (Interlogix-format) wireless sensors through the ELK-M1XRF319 wireless receiver on the M1 data bus. With that receiver enrolled, all Versa 319.5 MHz sensors program as standard supervised zones.

• MINI-319 — door/window contact, 319.5 MHz
• SHOCK-319 — shock/vibration + door/window contact
• PIR-319 — PIR motion detector
• PIR-DUAL — set to 319.5 MHz mode

2GIG panels use a built-in 345 MHz receiver — no add-on module. The MINI-345 is a direct-fit door/window contact on GC2, GC3, and EDGE; at 2.2" × 1" × 0.25" it sits nearly flush on frames, which matters for MDU and aesthetic-sensitive installs. The PIR-DUAL set to 345 MHz is the matching motion detector.

• MINI-345 — door/window contact, 345 MHz, Loop 1
• PIR-DUAL — set to 345 MHz mode for 2GIG panels
• LAMP-ZW2 — pairs via the EDGE's built-in Z-Wave radio (see Z-Wave section)

This is where installers get tripped up, because "Honeywell/Resideo" spans two different radio platforms:

Honeywell VISTA (VISTA-15P, VISTA-20P, and similar) — native 345 MHz 5800-series, using an external RF receiver (5881ENH, 5883H, or a keypad with a built-in receiver such as the 6160RF). The MINI-345 enrolls as a standard supervised 5800 contact zone.

Resideo PROA7 / PROA7PLUS — these are PROSiX/SiX™ 2.4 GHz panels natively. To use the MINI-345, install the PROTAKEOVER module and set its rotary switch to 0 (5800/345 MHz). The PROTAKEOVER adds 345 MHz reception without disabling PROSiX — both run together (up to 250 total wireless zones).

For full PROA7 (PROTAKEOVER) programming, see the MINI-345 installation guide →

• MINI-345 — 345 MHz; works on VISTA natively, PROA7 requires PROTAKEOVER
• PIR-DUAL — 345 MHz mode for VISTA and PROA7

DSC ships two wireless platforms that are not interchangeable:

• Legacy 433 MHz — DSC PowerSeries PC1832 and PC1864 with the RF5132-433 wireless receiver (supports up to 32 wireless zones), plus the self-contained Impassa and Alexor. The MINI-433 enrolls on these as a standard supervised zone. (Note: the WS4920 is a range-extending repeater, not the receiver.)
• PowerG (915 MHz) — DSC PowerSeries NEO (HS2016/HS2032/HS2064/HS2128) and PowerSeries PRO use DSC PowerG as their native wireless. A 433 MHz sensor will not enroll on a PowerG panel.

Where it fits, the MINI-433 is fully supervised (tamper, supervision, low battery) and its low-profile housing mounts cleanly on narrow frames and aluminum window profiles.

• MINI-433 — door/window contact, 433 MHz, for legacy DSC PowerSeries (PC1832/PC1864), Impassa, Alexor

The LAMP-ZW2 is Versa's Z-Wave 800 Series (Z-Wave Plus v2) plug-in dimmer. Because Z-Wave is backward compatible across generations, it works as a standard Z-Wave Plus device on any Z-Wave certified controller. Versa lists official compatibility with:

• Alarm.com — certified, appears natively in the dealer portal (approval details →)
• 2GIG EDGE — built-in Z-Wave radio
• Qolsys IQ — built-in Z-Wave radio
• SmartThings — pairs via SmartStart
• Hubitat — full local control, no cloud required
• Home Assistant — with a Z-Wave JS controller stick

• LAMP-ZW2 — Z-Wave 800 LR plug-in lamp dimmer, Alarm.com approved

One Differentiator Across Platforms: Bluefield

Every Versa door/window contact and shock sensor includes Bluefield — a built-in magnet-placement LED. Blue lights when the magnet is in range (confirm the gap before committing the tape); green flashes on a successful RF transmission (confirm the panel heard it without a trip to the keypad); red flags low battery. It removes the trial-and-error from the part of the install that causes most callbacks. (The SHOCK-319 shares the blue magnet LED; on it, green/red indicate pre-shock and shock alarm.)

Part of speccing correctly is knowing where a product isn't the right tool. The panels below use proprietary wireless protocols that aren't compatible with open-frequency 319.5/345/433 MHz sensors — Versa sensors will not enroll on them.

If you're evaluating Versa and your current book is primarily Bosch, DMP, Napco, or Paradox, contact the Versa team — the 319.5/345/433 MHz SKUs cover the broad majority of North American residential and light-commercial panels (Qolsys, 2GIG, Honeywell VISTA, Resideo, DSC legacy, Elk, Alula).

Where to Buy
