Installation and Operating Instructions
Read this instruction sheet thoroughly before installation and use of the PG9936H
Introduction
The PG9936H is a wireless heat detector with a fixed temperature and rate of rise heat sensor
and an internal piezoelectric alarm.
The following versions are available:
Frequency (MHz) Version Region
915 PG9936H Middle East
Compatible Devices
This detector is compatible with UL Listed IQPanel2 Wireless Control Panels using PowerG
Technology.
HUSH/TEST BUTTON
For UL installations use this device only in conjunction with
compatible IQPanel2 wireless receivers. Transmissions occur
at approximately 915 MHz (912MHz to 919 MHz).
Operation
During normal operation, the green LED flashes every 60 seconds.
The detector goes into alarm when the heat level exceeds 135 ºF / 58 ºC and automatically
restores when the heat level falls below the threshold. The detector also goes into alarm when
the temperature rapidly increases over a short period of time. During an alarm, the LED flashes
once per second and the sounder emits the fire evacuation temporal 3 pattern.
Detector Trouble
If the detector has a general fault, the yellow LED blinks once every four seconds and emits a
chirp every 48 seconds. After four hours, the panel displays a fire trouble message.

Tamper
Removing the detector from the mounting plate initiates a “tamper” transmission. The tamper
condition is restored after the detector is mounted on the plate.
Wireless Transmissions
A supervisory message is transmitted at 128 second intervals. If the signal is not received, the
control panel determines that the detector is missing.
The detector transmits the following:
lAlarm / Alarm Restore -Transmitted at time of occurrence.
NOTE: During an alarm condition, the detector sends an alarm event to the control panel.
When the condition is restored, the detector sends an alarm restore event to the
panel and sets the alarm restore indicator. The red LED blinks once every four

seconds until the Alarm in memory is cleared. You can clear the alarm restore indic-
ator from the control panel or press and hold the test button for five seconds.
lTamper / Tamper Restore - (tamper switch activated) ten- second maximum delay on
restore before transmission.
lLow Battery - (battery voltage falls below threshold). Battery voltage is tested & transmitted
at the time of a supervisory or other transmissions.
lTrouble - (detector fault limit reached). Troubles are transmitted at the time of occurrence
(one trouble per supervisory interval).
Batteries
The wireless heat alarm is powered by three AAA Duracell Procell PC2400 or three AAA Ener-
gizer E92 batteries (included). The detector regularly checks for a low battery. If a low battery is
detected, the transmitter sends a message to the control panel, which displays the detector's ID
at low battery. In addition, the yellow LED of the detector blinks every twelve seconds. The
detector's sounder chirps every 48 seconds and the yellow LED continues to blink until the bat-
teries are replaced. Pressing the hush button silences the chirps for twelve hours if no other
trouble conditions exist. The batteries should be replaced with new batteries when the chirps
begin.
At low battery, the test button is disabled.
NOTE: If the alarm does not sound, contact the installer or dealer for service.
Battery Installation and Replacement
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used bat-
tery according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To replace batteries, complete the following steps:
1. Remove the detector from its mounting base by twisting the detector counterclockwise.
Carefully remove batteries by lifting from the “+” end using a flathead screwdriver and dis-
pose of them according to local regulations.
2. To ensure a proper power-down sequence, wait a minimum of 30 seconds before
installing new batteries.
3. Install three new AAA batteries, available from a local Duracell or Energizer dealer, in the
battery compartment. Install the batteries by inserting the “-” end first, then pushing the “+”
end down. If the batteries are incorrectly inserted, carefully remove and correctly re-insert-
ing them following the procedure described in step 1.

4. Re-install the detector on its mounting base by turning the detector clockwise until the mat-
ing marks align.
5. After the power-up sequence, the green LED blinks twice every 60 seconds to indicate
normal operation. If the batteries are not installed correctly, the detector will not operate
and the batteries may be damaged. If the detector does not power up, check that the bat-
teries are installed correctly and fully charged.
6. Test the detector as described in this document.
CONSTANT EXPOSURES TO HIGH OR LOW TEMPERATURES OR HIGH HUMIDITY MAY
REDUCE BATTERY LIFE.
Installation Instructions
The PG9936H wireless heat detector shall be installed and used within an environment that
provides the pollution degree max 2 and over voltages category II in non-hazardous locations,
indoor only. The equipment is designed to be installed by SERVICE PERSONS only;
(SERVICE PERSON is defined as a person having the appropriate technical training and exper-
ience necessary to be aware of hazards to which that person may be exposed in performing a
task and of measures to minimize the risks to that person or other persons).
2. Mount Detector Backplate
NOTE: The alarm device should only be installed by a competent engineer or technician.
Once a suitable location is found, mount the detector backplate. Install the mounting base on
the ceiling or on the wall (if local ordinances permit) using screw locations as required. Use the
two screws and anchors provided. Maneuver the base so the screws are at the elbow of the
screw slots and secure.

Owner's Instructions
Testing Your Detector
Follow the test procedure described here or contact your dealer or installer for testing
instructions. It is recommended to test the entire alarm system at least once a week to
verify the operation of all system functions.

Detector Unit Test
To test the detector only, press and hold the Test button for less than five seconds. The sounder
chirps to indicate that the unit is functioning properly. When the button is released, the chirping
ceases. If this does not occur, ensure batteries are the correct type, in good condition and are
installed correctly. To test the detector and the alarm panel together, press and hold the Test
button for more than five seconds. An alarm signal is sent to the control panel.
Detector Test
Before you test, complete the following steps:
1. Insert the battery and then mount the detector on the backplate.
2. After the battery is inserted, wait two minutes before testing. The detector enters into Local
Diagnostic Test mode for 15 minutes.
3. It is recommended to perform the Periodic Test and use either the Installer code (Installer
Diagnostic mode) or the User code (User Diagnostic mode) to test.
CAUTION: The diagnostic test cannot be performed when the tamper is open.
To perform a detector test, press and hold the Test button for two seconds. When the button is
released, the Red LED flashes, followed by two loud alarm beeps.
In test mode, the detector tests heat and battery functions.
If the detector is in diagnostic mode, the detector performs the diagnostic test as described
below.
Diagnostic Test
The following sequence of events occur during a diagnostic test:
A. The detector performs a link quality test.
Note: The detector must be in local or diagnostic mode to perform the link quality test.
In diagnostic mode, if you press the Test button for more than six seconds, an alarm mes-
sage is sent to the panel and a Temporal-3 alarm signal is sounded. After this sequence
is completed, the panel responds by sending an “Alarm in Memory” message to the
device.
B. At the end of the diagnostic test the LED blinks three times. The following table indicates
the received signal strength.
LED
Response
Green LED

Reception Strong Good Poor Paired, no
communication
IMPORTANT! Reliable reception must be confirmed. Therefore, "poor" signal strength is not
acceptable. If you receive a "poor" signal from the device, re-locate it and re-test until a "good"
or "strong" signal strength is received. For UL installations, the test results must be "strong." See
the alarm systems installation guide for detailed diagnostic tests.
Owner’s Maintenance
This detector is designed to require minimum maintenance. If the case is greasy, wipe gently
with a soft cloth slightly dampened with soapy water.
Never disassemble the detector; there are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. You
may only remove the backplate to replace batteries if not serviced by an installer. When
replacing the batteries, follow the instructions specified in the Installation Instructions.
Never paint the unit. Paint may interfere with the proper operation of the unit. If you are
planning renovations or repainting, take precautions to avoid dust, paint or chemical con-
tamination to the detector.

Heat Detectors: Heat detectors that are a part of this system may not properly alert occupants of a fire for a number of reas-
ons, some of which follow. The Heat detectors may have been improperly installed or positioned. Heat may not be able to
reach the heat detectors, such as when the fire is in a chimney, walls or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Heat
detectors may not detect heat from fires on another level of the residence or building.
Every fire is different in the amount of heat produced and the rate of burning. Heat detectors cannot sense all types of fires
equally well. Heat detectors may not provide timely warning of fires caused by carelessness or safety hazards such as smoking
in bed, violent explosions, escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children play-
ing with matches or arson.
Even if the Heat detector operates as intended, there may be circumstances when there is insufficient warning to allow all
occupants to escape in time to avoid injury or death.
Warning: Digital Security Controls recommends that the entire system be completely tested on a regular basis. However, des-
pite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, criminal tampering or electrical disruption, it is possible for this product to
fail to perform as expected.
Important Information: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Digital Security Controls could void the user’s
authority to operate this equipment.
