Question 1

What makes a wireless security sensor truly universal?

Accepted Answer

A universal wireless security sensor works across multiple panel brands without proprietary RF protocols or add-on modules. The three standard frequencies used by professional alarm panels in North America are 319.5 MHz (Qolsys, GE/Interlogix, Honeywell older panels), 345 MHz (Resideo/Honeywell, 2GIG), and 433 MHz (DSC PowerSeries). Versa Wireless builds sensors at all three frequencies — MINI-319, MINI-345, and MINI-433 — so installers can stock one brand across their entire account base regardless of which panels their customers use.

Question 2

Which Versa Wireless sensors work with the most panel brands?

Accepted Answer

The Versa MINI-319 (319.5 MHz) has the broadest compatibility, covering Qolsys IQ panels, GE/Interlogix systems, and many Honeywell panels that accept 319.5 MHz sensors. The MINI-345 (345 MHz) covers Resideo (Honeywell), 2GIG, and other 345 MHz panels. Together, these two SKUs cover the majority of professionally installed alarm systems in North America. All Versa sensors use the same Bluefield LED indicator technology for faster, consistent installation across every job.

Question 3

Do Versa sensors work on both new installs and panel upgrades?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Versa sensors are designed for both new construction and retrofit installs. They use standard wireless protocols (319.5 MHz, 345 MHz, 433 MHz) that allow them to be enrolled on existing panels as zone additions or replacements for discontinued sensors. Installers can add Versa MINI-319 sensors to an existing Qolsys, GE, or Interlogix system without replacing the panel or any existing sensors.

Question 4

What types of wireless sensors does Versa Wireless offer?

Accepted Answer

Versa Wireless makes door and window contacts (MINI-319 at 319.5 MHz, MINI-345 at 345 MHz, MINI-433 at 433 MHz), a shock and vibration sensor with integrated door/window contact (SHOCK-319 at 319.5 MHz), a PIR motion detector (PIR-319 at 319.5 MHz), and a Z-Wave 800 plug-in lamp dimmer (LAMP-ZW2). All sensors except LAMP-ZW2 are designed for professional alarm system installation. All feature Bluefield LED technology for visual magnet placement and transmission confirmation.

Question 5

Where are Versa Wireless sensors sold?

Accepted Answer

Versa Wireless sensors are sold through WAVE Electronics, the largest independent professional A/V and security distributor in the United States, and directly at versawireless.com.
