Enrolling the DSC PowerG PG9312 to the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid teaches you how to enroll the DSC PowerG PG9312 Outdoor Contact to a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus System. This is a wireless outdoor contact sensor that is great for use on fences, gates, barn doors, outdoor patio doors and more. It can be auto-enrolled with an IQ2+.

A DSC PowerG PG9312 can be used with any version of the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. However, the system must be running Firmware Version 2.4.0 or higher. This is because earlier versions of the system had a bug that made this particular sensor incompatible. Fortunately, Qolsys fixed this problem in Firmware Version 2.4.0. You will want to make sure the system is running at least that firmware if you plan to use the PG9312 with the system.

Most users will program the DSC PowerG PG9312 as an outdoor contact sensor using its internal reed switch. But the sensor can also be programmed to operate as a wireless transmitter for a single Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO) contact. Most contacts use Normally Closed wiring. But there are some Form C contacts that will also allow for a Normally Open wiring configuration.

The PG9312 is somewhat unique in that it will support either wiring type (NC or NO) when used as a transmitter. You must choose the corresponding selection when programming the sensor. Please note that the PG9312 can only be used for one function on an IQ Panel 2 Plus. That means you must choose between using it as a contact sensor with the magnet and reed switch, as a NC wired transmitter, or as a NO wired transmitter. The system will not let you use the PG9312 with multiple functions. This is because you can only program the sensor with one (1) zone.

As a PowerG Sensor, the PG9312 offers some impressive functionality. It can be used with an IQ Panel 2 Plus System from up to 2,000 feet away. It also uses military grade 128-bit AES encryption in all of its wireless communication. A unique aspect of the PG9312 is that it offers a larger than average magnet spacing gap when compared with most other contact sensors. On a non-metal surface, it's maximum magnet spacing gap is 1.75 inches. On a metal surface, it is 1.25 inches.
