PowerG Door Alarm Sensor

If you have a PowerG Alarm System, then you will most certainly want to get some PowerG Door Alarm Sensors. These devices let your system know when a door has been opened. Most can also be used as window sensors if needed. There are many great aspects of DSC PowerG Door Alarm Sensors. This helps make them some of the best sensors to choose if you have a compatible alarm system.

The PowerG Sensors operate at 915 MHz. The system will need a compatible wireless receiver to support these sensors. Some systems that include a PowerG Wireless Receiver include the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus and the DSC PowerSeries NEO Systems. The PowerG Sensors can be auto-enrolled with a compatible system using the enrollment button on the device.

The process for learning-in the sensor will depend on the panel that is being used. You will then need to configure the settings for the zone. This will determine how the system responds when the PowerG Door Alarm Sensor is faulted. You can also manually enroll the sensor if desired. But we recommend auto-enrolling sensors whenever possible, as it is the best way to ensure that the sensor is communicating properly.

PowerG Door and Window Sensors function much like any other wireless contact. These products consist of two components, these being the sensor and the magnet. The sensor is mounted on the door frame, and the magnet is installed on the actual door. For best results, the magnet should be within a half-inch of the sensor when the door is closed. The magnet will separate from the sensor when the door is opened. This will release a reed switch inside the sensor. The sensor will then know to alert the system to the open door.

The PowerG Wireless Sensors have many fantastic features. For one, they offer some of the best wireless signal range in the entire industry. Depending on the panel, a PowerG Sensor can communicate from up to 2 kilometers away when used in open air. All communication uses 128-bit AES encryption. This makes these sensors nearly impossible to hack or wirelessly takeover. This is important for users who are afraid that an intruder may try to hack their equipment.

Most PowerG Sensors also feature signal quality indicators that are conveniently displayed on the outside of the device. These sensors generally have a battery life of five to six years depending upon usage. The battery can be easily replaced when needed. End users will appreciate the sleek, slim designs of these contacts. When mounted on a white surface, they are practically invisible. All things considered, these are some of the best wireless contacts that you can use with your system.
