1. INTRODUCTION
PowerMaster is a PowerG-enabled professional all-in-one wireless security, fire and safety system supporting advanced
applications and Visonic's PowerG™ Two-Way, Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) and Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS) wireless technology. This offers unmatched wireless robustness, superior range and long battery life; a
perfect and user friendly solution for both monitoring service providers and professional installers.
The system consists of the PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel that does not include a built-in keypad and that operates
in conjunction with a wireless keypad display device (KP-250 PG2). The control panel accommodates all control
circuitry and operation software for a programmable 64-zone alarm system, while the keypad display unit enables the
installer and the user to enter their commands and provides visual and audible feedback.
This manual refers to PowerMaster-33 G2 v18 and above. The most updated manuals can be downloaded from the
Visonic Web site http://www.visonic.com.
Note: "Pmaster" is used as an abbreviation for "PowerMaster".
The system is supplied with 3 instruction manuals:
PowerMaster-33 G2 Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation.
KP-250 PG2 Installer’s Guide -– for use of system installer during KP-250 PG2 installation and PowerMaster-33 G2
configuration.
KP-250 PG2 User’s Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for
the master user of the system, once installation is completed. Hand over this manual to the master user of the system.

2. CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
To ensure the best possible mounting location of the PowerMaster control panel, the following points should be
observed:
The selected location should be approximately in the center of the installation site between all the transmitters,
preferably in a hidden location.
In close proximity to an AC source
In close proximity to a telephone line connection (if PSTN is used)
Where there is good cellular coverage, if GSM-350 PG2 is used
Far from sources of wireless interference, such as:
o Computers or other electronic devices, power conductors, cordless phones, light dimmers, etc.
o Large metal objects (such as metal doors or refrigerators)
Note: A distance of at least 1 meter (3 ft) is recommended.
When mounting wireless devices:
Make sure that the signal reception level for each device is either "Strong" or "Good", but not "Poor".
Wireless magnetic contacts should be installed in a vertical position and as high up the door or window as possible.
Wireless PIR detectors should be installed upright at the height specified in their Installation Instructions
Repeaters should be located high on the wall in mid-distance between the transmitters and the control panel.
WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the control panel should be located at
a distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Customer Premises Equipment and Wiring
Note: The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company.
Connection to telephone company provided coin service is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present on the
phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X manufactured by
Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm reporting without
breaking the internet connection.
