The PGx911 is a fully supervised, 2-way wireless outdoor siren, designed for installation in areas in which wiring action is difficult or impossible.
Features
- Built-in link quality indicators reduce installation time by eliminating the need for the installer to physically approach the alarm controller.
- Power supply is dual, non-rechargeable batteries.
- Multiple sound types: Burglar (between 1400Hz – 3200Hz), fire, CO and flood.
- Entry/Exit beep can be enabled via the control panel to sound once the user has armed the system and once the user has entered the protected area.
- Squawk (beep) sounds can be configured via the control panel to indicate alarm system arming (1 squawk) and disarming (2 squawks) by a wireless key.
- Double Tamper protection sends a tamper alarm to the system if the siren front panel is removed or if the siren is removed from the wall.
- Pressing the self-test button momentarily activates the LEDs and sounder indicating the siren is operating correctly.
Note: Sounder is activated for a predefined duration according to local requirements, or until the system is disarmed. The strobe light operates as described in the HSM2HOST installation manual.
Operation
- Siren and strobe light activates when an event message is received from the system.
- If the siren is tampered with while armed, the siren transmits a tamper message to the control panel. The control panel determines whether to activate the siren. If the siren does not receive an acknowledge message from the alarm system, the siren functions independently.
- When the battery voltage is low, a low battery message is sent to the alarm system. After message delivery, at least 2 siren alarms are possible before the siren battery is totally depleted.
Device Setup
