KF-234 PG2
PowerG Wireless 2-Way Keyfob
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
KF-234 PG2 is a miniature PowerG 4-button (6-function) keyfob, designed for use with PowerG control panels.
Transmission is initiated by pressing any one of the four recessed pushbuttons. Upon pressing a specific button, the KF-234 PG2 transmits a
PowerG message associated with the button that was pressed and identifiable by PowerG control panels.
A red LED lights during transmission. When an identified command
is received by the PowerG control panel, it acknowledges the
command. Upon acknowledgement, the green LED lights and a
happy beep is heard to indicate successful completion of the
command or the red LED lights and a sad beep is heard to indicate
that the control panel cannot perform the command.
In addition, a battery report is transmitted with the outgoing message.
PowerG control panels are designed to identify this report and operate
a corresponding output, if required.
Each keyfob is supplied with a small key ring.

5. TESTING A NEW UNIT
Since the KF-234 PG2 is supplied with the battery already installed, the unit is practically ready to be tested.
A. Stand 3 m (10 ft) away from a target control panel (or wireless control panel) and press the ARM AWAY button (see Fig. 1).
Verify that the red LED lights upon transmission and that the green LED lights upon acknowledgement from the control panel.
B. Make sure that the control panel responds as programmed and as stated in the control panel’s instruction manual.
6. PRODUCT LIMITATIONS
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited range
(required by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are some limitations to be considered:
A. Control panels may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near their operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
B. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine whether there are sources of interference and to protect against faults.
