Device Configuration  Device parameters and related system 
behavior can be configured from the control 
panel or from a remote location. 
Each PowerG device has its own settings 
which can be configured through the control 
panel by entering the "DEVICE SETTINGS" 
menu. 
Note: The minimum configuration of the 
system includes one detector. 
To configure devices from the control 
panel: see Chapter 5 Programming and also 
the individual device's Installation 
Instructions. 
To configure devices from a remote 
location: refer to the PowerManage User's 
Guide Chapter 3 Working with Panels and to 
the Remote Programmer PC software User's 
Guide, Chapters 6 and 7.
 
Diagnostics of the 
control panel and 
peripherals 
You can test the function of all wireless 
sensors deployed throughout the protected 
area, to collect information about the 
received signal strength from each 
transmitter and to review accumulated data 
after the test. 
To perform diagnostics and to obtain 
signal strength indication: see section 5.9 
Diagnostics
 
Conducting periodic 
tests 
The system should be tested at least once a 
week and after an alarm. The periodic test 
can be conducted locally or from a remote 
location (with the assistance from a non-
technical person in the house). 
To conduct a walk test locally: see 
Chapter 6 Periodic Test 
To conduct a walk test from remote 
location: refer to the Remote Programmer 
PC software User's Guide, Chapter 6 Data 
Details Tables.
 
Partitions  The partitioning feature, when enabled, 
divides your alarm system into distinct areas 
each of which operates as an individual 
alarm system. Partitioning can be used in 
installations where shared security systems 
are more practical, such as a home office or 
warehouse building.  
1. Enable partitioning: see section 5.14 
Partitioning 
2. Setup partition association for each 
device: see section 5.4.2 Adding New 
Wireless Devices or Wired Sensors 
To understand more about partitioning: 
see APPENDIX B. Working with Partitions 
and APPENDIX A. in the User's Guide. 
Two-way voice 
communication

The PowerMaster system enables voice 
communication with Monitoring Stations 
To enable and configure two way voice: 
see section 5.6.4 Configuring Events 
Reporting to Monitoring Stations
 
Device configuration 
templates 
The default parameters with which a new 
device is enrolled into the system can be set 
before you enroll devices. This default 
template saves time on device configuration. 
1. Define enrollment defaults for devices: 
see section 5.4.6 Defining Configuration 
Defaults for "Device Settings" 
2. Enroll or pre-enroll devices: see section 
5.4.2 Adding New Wireless Devices or Wired 
Sensors
 
SirenNet - distributed 
siren using Smoke 
detectors 
All PowerG smoke detectors are able to 
function as sirens, alerting on any of 4 types of 
alarm in the system: fire, gas, burglary and 
flood. 
Note: For UL installations, smoke detectors 
alert only upon fire alarm in the system. 
Enable and configure SirenNet for each 
smoke detector: refer to the SMD-426 PG2 
/ SMD-427 PG2 Installation Instructions
 
Integrated Siren built 
into the panel 
The control panel has a high-powered built-in 
siren that sounds in case of alarm, enabled by 
default. 
To define whether or not the control 
panel's siren will sound upon alarms: see 
section 5.5.5 Configuring Sirens Functionality
 
Wired Siren outputs  The control panel can operate a wired siren 
and strobe devices 
Install and connect wired siren: see 
section 4.7 Optional Expander Module 
Mounting
