1. INTRODUCTION 
PowerMaster-10 and PowerMaster-30 are PowerG-enabled professional all-in-one wireless security, fire and 
safety systems supporting advanced applications and Visonic's new revolutionary 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. 
PowerG Main Benefits and Features: 
  Two-way communication ensures there are no lost alarms and saves battery life by eliminating 
unnecessary re-transmissions 
  Multiple channels (up to 50) and frequency hopping technology overcomes interferences to wireless 
communication 
  Transmission range is by far greater than the industry standard (2000m, 6000ft), enabling repeater-
free installations even in large premises 
  Message collisions are eliminated by using the same technologies used in WiMAX, GSM and 
Bluetooth 
  Devices dynamically start and stop using available repeaters according to need 
  Smart mechanism enables adjacent systems to co-exist without disturbing one another 
  Short keep-alive period provides reliable supervision of any vandalism attempts or device failure  
  Communication is protected by the proven AES-128 encryption algorithm to protect against  
sophisticated intruders  
  5-8 years battery life for all peripherals
