WARNING!Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by
the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to oper-
ate the equipment.
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in res-
identialinstallations. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio fre-
quency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruc-
tions, may cause harmful interference to radio and television reception.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this device does cause such interference, which can be verified
by turning the device off and on, the user is encouraged to eliminate the inter-
ferenceby one or more of the following measures:
– Re-orient or re-locate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the distance between the device and the receiver.
– Connect the device to an outlet on a circuit different from the one that sup-
plies power to the receiver.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.

The term IC before the radio certification number signifies that the Industry
Canada technical specifications were met. This Class B digital apparatus com-
plies with Canadian ICES-003. This device complies with RSS-247 of
Industry Canada. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the
device. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-
003 du Canada. Ce dispositif satisfait aux exigences d’Industrie Canada, pre-
scrites dans le document CNR-247. son utilisation est autorisée seulement
aux conditions suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’util-
isateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique
reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonc-

Présen tation de PG9872/PG8872/PG4872
Le PGx872 est un détecteur PIR sans fil de présence/sécurité intel-
ligent pour plafond (mode sélectionné) qui crée une zone de couver-
ture de 360° pour détecter le mouvement des intrus en intérieur.
Le détecteur présente les caractéristiques suivantes:
lMode Détection de présence - actif 15 minutes après l'installation
(mise sous tension) puis ensuite seulement lorsque la centrale est en
mode À l'arrêt.
lMode Détection de sécurité - fonctionne comme un détecteur de
mouvement normal.
lLes indicateurs intégrés de qualité de la liaison évitent à l'in-
stallateur de devoir se trouver à proximité physique de la centrale
et réduisent le temps d'installation.
lL'appareil assure une fonction de signalement du niveau de tem-
pérature et de lumière aux systèmes d'alarme compatibles prenant
en charge les capteurs de température et de lumière.
lAuto-protection.
lTechnologie bidirectionnelle PowerG Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum FHSS-TDMA.
lL'algorithme avancé True Motion Recognition™ (breveté) fait la
distinction entre les mouvements réels d'un intrus et toute autre per-
turbation susceptible de déclencher de fausses alertes.
REMARQUE: Pour les installations certifiées, le détecteur ne doit
être utilisé qu'avec des unités de contrôle certifiées UL.
