PGP9976 - DSC Wireless PowerG + Combo Smoke/Heat Detector
DSC PGP9976 Product Description:
The DSC PGP9976 is a wireless PowerG + photoelectric smoke and heat detector with a fixed temperature and rate of rise heat detector. The PGP9976 is an advanced life-safety device designed to bring high-performance fire detection to modern PowerG-compatible wireless security systems.
Leveraging PowerG's long-range, high-security wireless technology, this combo detector delivers reliable, rapid detection of both smoke and heat, making it an ideal choice for residential and commercial environments where dependable early warning is critical. Its dual-sensor design combines the strengths of both smoke and heat detection photoelectric sensing that responds quickly to visible smoke from smoldering fires, and a fixed high-temperature heat sensor that detects rapid rises in temperature. This multi-criteria approach reduces the likelihood of false alarms while providing comprehensive coverage across a wide range of fire scenarios.
Built for compatibility with PowerG-enabled panels such as IQ Panel 5, IQ5 Hub, and other PowerG-capable control panels, the PGP9976 features encrypted wireless communication with strong interference resistance and extended range, even in challenging RF environments. The unit supports advanced diagnostic reporting and low-battery indicators, enabling the panel to notify users or monitoring services of maintenance needs before a problem becomes serious. With its tamper-resistant design and smart supervisory features, it ensures continual monitoring of device status, maintaining peace of mind that critical life-safety zones are being watched at all times.
The PGP9976 detector's compact, modern styling blends seamlessly into contemporary interiors, while its simple wireless installation makes it a perfect fit for both new systems and retrofit upgrades. Designed to meet stringent UL217 and UL521 standards for smoke and heat detection, the PGP9976 provides code-compliant protection that adheres to fire safety recommendations. Its dual-sensor capability enhances detection accuracy and responsiveness, delivering dependable alerts to occupants and monitoring centers at the earliest signs of fire hazards.
Whether installed in homes, offices, or mixed-use spaces, the DSC PGP9976 Wireless PowerG + Combo Smoke/Heat Detector provides an essential layer of safety that integrates effortlessly into smart, self-installed security systems. By combining robust wireless performance with sophisticated dual-sensor technology and compatibility with modern interactive monitoring platforms, it helps protect life and property with intelligence, reliability, and ease.
