Installation
This equipment is designed to be installed by qualified
service persons only. Place the device above the door
or window on the fixed frame and the magnet on the
movable part of the door or window. Do not place the
magnet more than 44.5 mm (1.75 in) from the marked
side of the device.
To monitor outdoor areas, you can mount the PGx312
on a curved surface, such as a fence pole or similar.
Note:
lOnce the battery cover is removed, a tamper mes-
sage is transmitted to the panel. Subsequent
removal of the battery prevents transmission of the
TAMPER RESTORE alert, leaving the receiver in
permanent alert. To avoid this, press the tamper
switch when you remove the battery.
lIt is recommended to wait about 1 minute after bat-
tery removal before inserting the new batteries.
Caution! Risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by
an incorrect type. Dispose of the used battery according
to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Attention! Some models have a back tamper switch
behind the device. As long as the device is seated firmly
within the bracket, the switch lever will be pressed
against a special break-away bracket segment that is
loosely connected to the bracket. Be sure to fasten the
break-away segment to the wall. If the detector unit is
forcibly removed from the wall, this segment will break
away from the bracket, causing the tamper switch to
open.
Local diagnostics test
A local diagnostic test establishes the signal strength of
a device in its current position during the installation pro-
cess. To perform this mandatory test, complete the fol-
lowing:
1. Separate the decorative cover from the device and
unscrew the battery cover. See steps 1 to 3 of
Mounting the PGx312.
2. Press the tamper switch once and release it.
3. Open the door or window and verify that detection
is indicated by a red LED flash.
After two seconds, the LED flashes three times in
one of three colors to indicate the signal strength.
LEDresponse Reception
Green LEDflashes Strong
Yellow LED flashes Good
Red LEDflashes Poor
No flashes No communication
Table 1: LEDreception response
Important! Reliable reception must be assured. There-
fore, "poor" signal strength is not acceptable. If you
receive a "poor" signal from the detector, relocate it and
re-test until a "good" or "strong" signal strength is
received (in regions requiring UL-compliant installation,
only “strong” signal strength is permitted).
Note:
lFor UL, only strong signal strength is acceptable.
lFor detailed diagnostics test instructions, refer to
the control panel Installer Guide.
lAfter this step, reattach the battery cover.
lThe LED light is off in normal conditions.

Wiring the auxiliary input
Note:
lFor UL installations, the device connected to the ini-
tiating circuit must be located in the same room as
the transmitter.
lFor UL installations, connect to UL listed res-
idential burglar alarm accessories only.
lFor ULC installations, connect ULC listed products
only to the auxiliary wiring input.
lAn alarm message transmits once the loop is
opened or short circuited.
To connect this device with another nearby device by
auxiliary input, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the jacket at the end of the cable to
expose the wires within.
2. Perforate the silicon gasket with a 0.8 mm
(1/32 in.) pin.
3. Pass each wire through an entry hole and out the
opposite side.
4. Remove the insulation from the end of each wire.
5. Connect each wire to the relevant terminal, ref-
erencing Auxiliary Wiring Options.
6. Screw the terminal closed using a flat head screw-
driver.
Note:
lUse a 22 AWG AUX cable (3.0 mm, 0.12 in. jacket
diameter) for this installation.
lUse a cable shorter than 3 m (10 ft) for the AUX
connection.
lSeal the auxiliary wiring gasket with RTV Silicone
adhesive sealant.
Auxiliary wiring options
You can add more devices to the circuit of the PGx312
for NC, NO, EOL, or DEOL applications. Each applic-
ation type is as follows:
NC Exclusively use series connected NC sensor con-
tacts if the auxiliary input of the PGx312 is
defined as a normally closed (NC) type. An EOL
resistor is not required.
NO Exclusively use parallel connected NO sensor
contacts if the auxiliary input of the PGx312 is
defined as NO type. An EOL resistor is not
required.
EOL For EOL supervision, NCor NOsensor contacts
can be used. A 5.6kΩ EOL resistor must be wired
at the far end of the zone loop.
DEOL For DEOL supervision, only N.C. contacts should
be used. A 5.6kΩ EOL resistor must be wired at
the far end of the zone loop.

lThis feature is dependent on panel software ver-
sion.
lBegin the anti-mask calibration process when the
device and magnet are in the final installation pos-
ition. This must be the shortest distance between
the magnet and the device.
lFor the proper operation of the AM function, align
the magnet with the sensor decorative cover during
calibration. See Figure 5 for parallel and per-
pendicular magnet installation.
Pre-requisites:
lTo receive an alert for magnet interference, enable
the anti-masking configuration on the device set-
tings menu.
lComplete the anti-masking learning process after
enrollment (see Enrolling the PGx312) and with the
device and magnet in the final installation position.
To enable the anti-mask feature, complete the following
steps:
1. Position the device and magnet pointers to face
each other with reference to Range Coverage Dir-
ections.
2. Ensure the device and magnet are placed no more
than 5 mm apart on the Z plane. See Range Cover-
age Directions.
Note: During the anti-mask learning process, the
sensor and the magnet must be stable for 10
seconds.
3. Press and hold the enroll button for 6-8 seconds to
start the anti-mask learning process.
Note: Do not release the enrollment button while
the yellow LED is lit. Release the button after the
green LED lights at 6 seconds and before 8
seconds.
If successful, the green LED flashes three times. If
unsuccessful, the red LED flashes three times.
Note: If the door is open while the enroll button is
pressed, the anti-mask learning process is ignored.
Miscellaneous comments
DSC wireless systems are very reliable and are tested
to high standards. However, due to low transmitting
power and limited range (required by FCC and other
regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be
considered as follows:
A. Receivers may be blocked by radio signals occur-
ring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of
the digital code used.
B. A receiver responds only to one transmitted signal at
a time.
C. Wireless devices should be tested regularly to
determine whether there are sources of interference and
to protect against faults.
