The Concept IQ Programming Key is a portable non-volatile memory device housed in a convenient "key tag". The programmable key connects directly to the Control Module and allows the installer to upload the system database from the Control Module, or download a system database to the Control Module via a simple key press sequence on the LED Terminal. An indicator lamp is provided on the Programming Key to monitor data transfer activity, and the LED Terminal provides audible indication of upload / download success or failure.

The Programming Key provides a quick and convenient way to program similar Concept IQ systems from a pre-defined programming template.

The Programming Key may be programmed directly, without a panel present, using the Key Programmer and Flash PC Interface (P/N 995511), or used to backup a panel's programming for eventual transfer to and safe storage on a PC or laptop.
