PowerG Wireless Repeater

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems

• Signal you can trust: we use the repeater’s link-quality test (GOOD/STRONG) to verify placement and range before we finish.

• Pro power & backup: we wire the 9 VAC supply, confirm battery charge/backup (~48 hrs), and document AC-fail notifications.

• Clean system integration: we enroll to your panel, confirm supervision/low-battery/tamper/AC-fail service messages, and label coverage zones.

Key Features

• Extends overall wireless range for PowerG devices; relays messages back to the panel.

• LED indications for power, activity, and installation performance diagnostics.

• Front & back tamper; compact housing.

• 48-hour rechargeable backup (Ni-MH 4.8 V, 1300 mAh) keeps coverage during outages.

• On-device placement test with GOOD/STRONG signal requirement (UL/ULC: STRONG).

Compatibility Notes

• Works with PowerG-capable panels (DSC PowerSeries Neo/Pro, iotega, etc.).

• Qolsys IQ Panel 4 / IQ Pro: officially supports PG9920; up to 8 repeaters may be enrolled. Note: PowerG signals are single-hop (you can’t repeat a repeater).

Popular Use Cases

• Large homes & warehouses: bridge long distances or dense construction between wings/floors.

• Outbuildings & garages: bring far-edge sensors into reliable range without pulling wire.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you place it correctly?

We mount it high, near an outlet and away from large metal/RC walls, then run the placement test—only GOOD/STRONG results are acceptable (UL/ULC: STRONG).

What happens during a power outage?

The internal Ni-MH pack provides about 48 hours of backup. The system also receives AC-fail and low-battery messages.

Can I chain multiple repeaters to extend farther?

No. PowerG allows a single repeat hop—panel → repeater → device. You can enroll multiple repeaters, but each device can only be repeated once.

How many can my panel support?

IQ Panel 4 lists a limit of 8 PG9920 repeaters (software-dependent). We size and place only what’s needed.

Want stronger, farther PowerG coverage?

Smart Shield Systems will survey your site, place and enroll the PG9920/PG8920/PG4920, verify signal and supervision, and document AC/backup behavior—so every sensor reports in, every time.
