What this device does in the system

Reports intrusion, life-safety, or status conditions to the host panel — faults appear as zone or module troubles, not always on the device itself.

Before you install or replace one

  • Confirm exact model number on the label matches the install manual.
  • Verify host panel or system family — Keybus, Corbus, Combus, PowerG, MX, or 433 MHz are not interchangeable.
  • Check device limits on the panel/receiver before adding zones, sirens, or credentials.
  • Include current draw in power budget calculations for modules, receivers, and keypads.
  • For wireless: test RF at the mounted location, not only on the bench.

Troubleshooting

Quick diagnostic flow

  1. Confirm model on label matches PGPx934P PowerG Indoor PIR Cam Installation Manual.
  2. Verify host system in compatible-peripherals.md.
  3. Read active panel trouble ([*, 2]) — note zone vs module vs low battery.
  4. Check power and supervision at the panel/receiver before replacing the device.
  5. For wireless: test signal and enrollment at install location.
  6. For wired: verify EOL, polarity, and zone type programming.
