DSC PGPHOST9 - Power G Transceiver Module Host function supports 128 wireless zones compatible with NEO, PRO panel
- SKU PGPHOST9
General Information
Description
The PowerG+ Host module is the core of high-performance wireless expansion. Its main function is to act as a bridge between the control panel and peripheral devices, offering commercial-grade stability. It is the ideal solution for upgrading Legacy systems to next-generation technology without the need for rewiring, allowing a smooth transition to smart automation.
Features:
- Expand your protection: Supports up to 128 wireless zones and 32 wireless key fobs (depending on the panel).
- Smart automation: When used with IQ Pro, it enables the use of PowerG Automation devices, IQ Hardwire PowerG, and IQ Remote-PG for a complete experience.
- Full compatibility: Works with DSC PowerSeries Neo and PowerSeries Pro in backward compatibility mode, ensuring seamless integration.
- Borderless range: Compatible with PowerG repeaters (PG9920/PGP9920) to extend coverage where you need it.
- Guaranteed reliability: All wireless detectors are supervised to maintain communication integrity.
- Industry-leading certification: Meets the ULC-S304-16 standard for commercial wireless intrusion systems.
Important: PowerG+ compatible panels are IQ Panel 4 / IQ4 NS / IQ Hub firmware version 4.6.0 or higher. PowerG+ features will not be available on registered devices that are not PowerG+ compatible, nor on panels that do not have a PowerG+ compatible version such as PowerSeries Neo version 1.37+ and PowerSeries Pro version 1.2+.
PowerG+ Compatibility
Advanced PowerG+ features are only available on Qolsys IQ Panel 4, IQ4 NS, and IQ Hub panels with version 4.6.0i or higher.
What about PowerSeries Neo, Pro, and Qolsys (older models and versions older than 4.6.0i)?
- They do work with PowerG technology, but they do NOT have PowerG+ features.
- Usage in these panels is traditional: They maintain standard PowerG communication, but without advanced improvements.
