Installation

This equipmentis designed tobe installed byqualified
service persons only. Placethe device abovethe door
or window on the fixed frameand the magnet on the
movablepart ofthe door or window. Do not place the
magnet more than44.5 mm (1.75 in) from the marked
side of thedevice.
To monitor outdoor areas, you can mount the PGx312
ona curved surface,such as afence pole or simil ar.

Note:

l Oncethe battery cover is removed, a tamper mes-

sageis transmittedto thepanel. Subsequent
removal ofthe battery prevents transmissionof the
TAMPER RESTOREalert, leavingthe receiver in
permanent alert. Toavoid this,press thetamper
switch whenyou removethe battery.

l It is recommendedto wait about1 minuteafter bat-

tery removal before insertingthe new batteries.
Caution! Risk of explosion ifthe battery is replacedby
ani ncorrect type. Dispose ofthe used battery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attention! Some modelshave aback tamper switch
behind the device. As longas thedevice is seatedfir mly
within the bracket, the switchl ever will be pressed
against aspecial break-away bracket segment that is
looselyconnected tothe bracket. Be sureto fasten the
break-away segment tothe wall. Ifthe detector uniti s
forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break
away from the bracket,causing the tamper switch to
open.

Locald iagnosticst est

A local diagnostic test establishesthe signal strength of
a device ini tscurrent position during the installationpro­cess. Toperform this mandatory test,complete the fol­lowing:

1. Separate the decorativecover from thedevice and

unscrew the battery cover. See steps 1to 3 of

Mounting the PGx312.

2. Press thetamper switch onceand release it.

3. Openthe door or window andverify thatdetection

is indicated by a redLED flash.

After two seconds,the LEDflashes three times in

oneof threecolors to indicatethe signal strength.

LEDresponse Reception

Green LEDflashes Strong

Yellow LED flashes Good

Red LEDflashes Poor

No flashes No communication

Table1: LEDreceptionresponse

Important! Reliable receptionmust beassured. There-

fore," poor" signal strengthi snot acceptable. Ifyou
receive a"poor" signal from thedetector, relocate it and
re-test until a "good" or "strong" signalstr engthis

received(i nregions requiring UL-compliant installation,
only “strong” signal strength is permitted).

Note:

l For UL, only strong signal strength is acceptable.
l For detailed diagnostics testinstructions,r efer to

thecontrol panel Installer Guide.

Miscellaneouscomments

DSC wireless systems are very reliableand are tested
to high standards. However, dueto low transmitting
power andl imitedrange (required by FCC andother
regulatory authorities), there are somel imitations tobe
considered as follows:
A. Receivers may beblocked byr adio signals occur­ring onor near their operatingfrequencies, regardless of
thedigital codeused.
B. A receiver responds only toone transmitted signal at
a time.
C. Wireless devices should betestedr egularly to
determine whether there aresources ofinterferenceand
to protectagainst faults.
