MODEL PG30 Pilfergard Door Alarm
Installation Instructions
WI739E 02/15
DESCRIPTION
The PG30 is a keypad operated surface-mounted micropro-
cessor-controlled door alarm. Three programmable security
levels provide degrees of access to suit various applications,
such as unattended fire stairways, airport security areas, delivery entrances, etc. The unit contains a Form-C relay as
well as provisions for an external power supply and external
reed-switch contacts.
The unit mounts on the door with a magnetic actuator on the
frame, or, if external wiring is required, vice versa. Entering
the Master Code will alternately arm and disarm the unit. A
selectable Annunciator feature beeps to signal opening of the
door while the unit is disarmed. Opening the door, removing
the cover or attempting to defeat the unit with a second magnet when armed, will activate the alarm. The unit may be operated from outside the door with the addition of a model
PG30KPD External Keyp ad (option al).

INSTALLATION
Note: In many applications, the need for a template may
be eliminated by using the Magnet Alignment procedure in
step 10. If outside keypad control or remote wiring is required,
however, the template must be used.
1. If using a template, select the proper template for the type
of door. (If not using a template, proceed to step 6).
2. Mark and drill 9/64" holes per template directions on the
door and jamb. (Four holes for base plate and two holes
for magnetic actuator). Note: Certain narrow-stile doors
require only two holes for mounting plate.
3. Mark and drill ⅜" hole per template for remote wiring to a
control panel.
4. For outside keypad control only: Drill ¾" hole as
shown on template. Refer to the PG30KPD instructions
for installation of outside keypad.
5. Knock out the necessary holes from the base plate and
install on the door with #8 sheet-metal screws (supplied).
If an outside keypad is used, ensure that its cable is routed through the hole in the base plate.
6. Connect the battery (a chirp will sound; this chirp will con-
firm that power is connected properly). Important: Press
the small CLEAR button at the lower-left corner of the
circuit board (see Fig. 1).
7. Remove the jumper ONLY on the side of the unit that the
magnet will NOT be installed.
8. Select jumper options (J1 - J4) as follows: Refer to Fig. 1;
OFF
ON
OFF
the unit is factory
supplied with the
Annunciator option
enabled (J3 installed)
and 2-Minute Shutdown alarm selected
(J4 removed).

Important: Changes in the jumper configuration do
not become effective until the unit is subsequently armed.
J1: Entry Delay. Alarm will sound 15 seconds after any
unauthorized entry through door if unit is armed. This
feature is used for authorized entry. To avoid an alarm
upon entry, disarm unit within 15 seconds. To enable
Entry Delay, install J1 across both pins.
J2: Exit Delay. Unit will be activated after 15 seconds
each time unit is armed to allow authorized exit without
an alarm. To enable Exit Delay, install J2 across both
pins.

J3: Annunciator. Unit will sound for 2 seconds when-
ever the door is opened while disarmed. To disable
the Annunciator, remove J3.
J4: Continuous / 2-Minute Shutdown. With J4 in-
stalled, an alarm will sound continuously until the battery is depleted. With J4 removed, the alarm will silence after two minutes and the unit will rearm (if the
door is closed). The LED will start flashing to indicate
that an alarm has occurred (Alarm Memory). Alarm
Memory is cleared after about 4 hours or when the unit
is re-armed. Note: If the door is still open after two
minutes, the alarm will restart. Note: Jumper J4 is con-
nected at the factory to only one pin of the 2-pin connector (off). To select Continuous alarm, remove J4
and reinstall it across both pins.
9. Install the cover onto the base plate. Secure the cover
with #6-32 screws supplied. Note: The longest screw is
the tamper screw. If not using a template, do not install
the tamper screw until the magnet has been aligned and
secured as follows.
10. (If unit has been installed using a template, proceed to
step 11). After power-up, but before the tamper screw is
installed, the unit will be in the Magnet Alignment Mode.
a. Place the magnet against the wall, adjacent to the
bottom of the unit. Slowly slide the magnet upward.
The LED will turn on, indicating closure of the reed
switch, then the LED will turn off. Mark the doorjamb
at the bottom of the magnet. (Note: Sliding the mag-
net still further will cause the LED to light again; ignore
subsequent indications).
b. Similarly, place the magnet against the wall, adjacent
to the top of the unit. Slowly slide the magnet downward. The LED will turn on, and then will turn off once
again (see Note in step 10a). Mark the doorjamb at
the top of the magnet.
11. Install the magnetic actuator so that it is centered between the two marks on the doorjamb. Use the two #8
sheet-metal screws supplied. Note: On steel frames, it
is sometimes necessary to install a non-magnetic shim
between the magnet and the frame to prevent the steel
frame from absorbing the magnet's magnetic field, which
could cause a constant or occasional false alarm condition. The shim should be ½" x 2½" x ⅛" thick nonmagnetic material (plastic, Bakelite, rubber, etc.).
STANDBY MODE
After the magnet has been aligned and mounted, the tamper
screw may be installed. This will place the unit in its standby
mode (disarmed).
ARMING & DISARMING
The unit is alternately armed and disarmed by entering the
Master Code.
WIRING
External wiring to the PG30 requires that the unit be mount-
ed on the frame with the magnet on the adjacent door. (The
PG30 may be mounted on a door with the addition of a
Model 271 Flexible Cable). All wiring is made at its terminal
strip. Wiring connections are summarized in the Wiring Diagram shown in Fig. 2.
Relay (Terminals 1-3). Terminal 1 = Nor mally Closed;
2
Terminal 2 = Common; Terminal 3 = Normally Open.
Fig. 2. Wiring Diagram. Also see Fig. 3
Reed Switch (Terminals 4 & 5). Connect ex ternal reed-
switch contacts to Terminals 4 and 5 and remove both jump-
ers. Note: If reed switches are wired in series as shown in
Fig. 3, several doors may be monitored simultaneously. Using #22AWG wire, maximum wiring distance should not exceed 50 feet (15.24m).
Fig. 3. Multiple door monitoring
Power (Terminals 6 & 7). Connect an extern al power
supply: Positive (+) to Terminal 7; negative (–) to Terminal
6. Leave the internal battery in as a backup battery. If using
the Alarm Lock PP100 Power Supply, connect the two battery clips to the unit and the internal battery as labeled.
FIELD TEST
1. With the door closed, enter a valid arming code. A brief
tone will sound indicating that the unit is armed (with or
without delays, see options in INSTA LLATION: step 8).
2. Open the door. A sweep siren alarm should sound.
3. On alarm, the relay will activate and remain latched for as
long as the sounder is on. Relay contacts are rated at
125VAC/DC at ½A.
4. To reset the alarm, enter the Master Code or the Management Code.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
Whether armed or disarmed, the LED will blink about once
every 4 hours when checking battery status. When the battery becomes weak, the unit will chirp and the LED will flash
about once per minute, indicating the need for replacement.
Disarm the unit before replacing battery. When battery is
disconnected, DO NOT press buttons or programming
WILL BE LOST; connect new battery as quickly as possible. Be sure the extra long Tamper Screw (see Fig. 4)
is returned to its correct location (lower left corner); failure to
replace the Tamper Screw in its correct location will render
the unit inoperable.
