Installation

This equipment i s designedto be installed by qualified
service persons only. Place the device abovethe door
or window on the fixed frame and the magnet on the
movable part of the door or window. Do not place the
magnet more than44.5 mm (1.75 in) from the marked
side of the device.
To m onitor outdoor areas, you can m ount the PGx312
on a curved surface, such as a fencepole or si milar.

Note:

l Oncethe battery cover is removed, a tamper mes-

sage i s transmittedto the panel. Subsequent
removal of the battery prevents transmission of the
TAMPER R ESTORE alert, leaving the receiver in
permanent alert. To avoid this, press the tamper
switch w henyou remove the battery.

l It is recommended to wait about 1 minute after bat-

tery r emoval before insertingthe new batteries.
Caution! Risk of explosion if the battery is replacedby
an incorrect type. Dispose of theusedbattery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attention! Some m odels havea back tamper switch
behind the device. As longas the device is seatedfir mly
within the bracket, the switch lever will be pressed
against a special break-away bracket segment that is
loosely connected to thebracket. Be sure to fasten the
break-away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is
forcibly r emovedfrom thew all, this segment will break
away from the bracket, causing the tamper switch to
open.

Local diagnosticst est

A local diagnostic test establishes thesignal strength of
a device in its currentposition during the installation pro­cess. To perform this mandatory test, completethe fol­lowing:

1. Separatethedecorative cover from thedevice and
unscrew the battery cover. See steps 1 to 3 of
Mounting the PGx312.

2. Press thetamper switch onceandr elease it.

3. Openthe door or window and verify thatdetection
is indicated by a r ed LED flash.

After two seconds, the LED flashes three times in
one of three colors to indicatethe si gnal strength.

LEDresponse Reception

Green LEDflas hes Strong

Yellow LED flas hes Good

Red LEDflas hes Poor

No fl ashes No c ommunication

Table 1: LEDreception response

Important! Reliable r eception must be assured. There-

fore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you
receive a "poor" signal from thedetector, relocateit and
re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is

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

Note:

l For UL, only strong signal strength is acceptable.
l For detailed diagnostics test instructions, refer to

thecontrol panel Installer Guide.

l After this step, r eattach the battery cover.
l The LED l ight is off in normal conditions.

seconds.
If successful, the greenLED flashes three times. If
unsuccessful, the r ed LED flashes three times.
Note: If the door is open while the enroll buttoni s
pressed, the anti-mask l earning process is ignored.

Miscellaneous comments

DSC wir eless systems are very reliable and are tested
to high standards. However, due to low transmitting
power and limited range( requiredby FCC and other
regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be
consideredas follows:
A. Receivers m ay be blocked by radio signals occur­ring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of
thedigital codeused.
B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at
a time.
C. Wir eless devices should be tested r egularly to
determine whether there are sources of interference and
to protectagainst faults.
