1. DESCRIPTION 
  
 
PGM-5  (see  Figure  1)  is  an  output  interface  module  designed  to 
provide  alarm,  trouble  events  and  status  signals  to  external devices 
such as long range wireless monitoring transmitters, CCTV systems, 
home-automation systems, LED annunciation panels, etc. 
The PGM-5 provides 5 solid state relay contact outputs and is designed 
to  be  used  as  a  plug-in  internal  add-on  module  with  PowerMax  Pro, 
PowerMaxComplete,  PowerMaxExpress,  PowerMaster-10  G2, 
PowerMaster-30 G2 and PowerMaster-33 G2 control panels. 
Note: The PGM-5 will be active only if the PGM-5 option was enabled 
in  the  factory  default  of  the  control  panel.  For  PowerMaster  control 
panels v18 and above, it is required to enable or disable the PGM-5 
via  the  Installer  Mode.  For  detailed  instructions,  refer  to  the 
PowerMaster Installer Guide. 
 
Figure 1 – PGM-5 Printed Circuit 
Outputs  1  to  4 provide  pre-set  signals  while  output  5 is programmable 
using DIP switches SW-3 & SW-4 – see Tables 1 & 2. 
Table 1 – Output Definitions 
Output  Event Type 
OUT 1  Burglar & 24Hr audible alarm (Bell time duration). 
Tamper & 24 Hr silent (2 sec. pulse) 
OUT 2  Panic (2 sec. pulse) 
OUT 3  Fire (Bell time duration).  
OUT 4  Arm / Disarm (actual status of the panel) 
OUT 5  See table 2 
Table 2 – OUT 5 Signal Setting 
SW-4  SW-3  Event Type 
OFF  OFF  General trouble (until restored) 
ON  OFF  General Low battery (until restored) 
OFF  ON  Gas or CO alarm (until restored) 
ON  ON  AC failure reported (until restored) 
The  outputs  can  be  set  to  either  normally  open  (N.O)  or  normally 
closed (N.C), according to the specific application, using DIP switches 
SW-1 (for outputs 1, 2, 3 & 5) and SW-2 for output 4 (Arm/Disarm) – 
see table 3.
