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 4.8
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 5 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 4.12
Partitioning.
2. Setup partition association for each
device: see section 4.4.2 Adding New
Wireless Devices.
To understand more about partitioning:
see APPENDIX E. Working with Partitions
and APPENDIX B. in the User's Guide.
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 4.4.7 Defining Configuration
Defaults for "Device Settings".
2. Enroll or pre-enroll devices: see section
4.4.2 Adding New Wireless Devices.
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.
Enable and configure SirenNet for each
smoke detector: refer to the SMD-426 PG2
/ SMD-427 PG2 Installation Instructions.
Reporting to Private
Users and/or
Monitoring Station by
SMS and IP
communication
The PowerMaster 360 system can be
programmed to send notifications of alarm
and other events to 4 SMS cellular phone
numbers and to report these events to the
Monitoring Station by SMS or IP
communication.
To configure notifications to Private
phones: refer to the PowerMaster 360
User's Guide, Chapter 4, section B.12
Programming Email, MMS and SMS
Reporting.
To configure reporting to the Monitoring
Station: see section 4.6.3 Configuring
Events Reporting to Monitoring Stations.
Quick installation with
link quality indication
With PowerG devices, there is no need to
consult the control panel when mounting a
wireless device, because PowerG devices
include a built-in link quality indicator.
Choosing the mounting location is a quick
and easy process.
To choose the ideal location to mount a
wireless device, see Chapter 2 Choosing the
Installation Location.
