Supervised Wireless PowerG Indoor Siren

The DSC PowerG Indoor Siren is a fully supervised, 2-way wireless sounder with a built-in strobe, double (front + back) tamper, and on-device link-quality LEDs so placement is quick and reliable. It supports distinct tones for burglary, fire, CO/gas, and flood events, plus optional entry/exit beeps and arm/disarm squawks. Typical battery life is up to 8 years.

Why Choose This with Smart Shield Systems


  • Fast, tidy installs: we use the siren’s LED signal test to lock in a GOOD/STRONG PowerG link before we mount it.

  • Proper event tones & strobe: we enable the right audible patterns and visual flash for each alarm type, per your panel and local code.

  • Pro integration: we enroll to your PowerG-capable system (e.g., IQ Panel / DSC Neo/Pro) and verify entry/exit beeps and arming squawks behave the way you want.


Key Features


  • 2-way PowerG with AES-128 encryption, adaptive FHSS, and supervised heartbeats.

  • Multiple sound types: burglary (1.4–3.2 kHz sweep), fire, CO/gas, and flood; optional entry/exit beeps and arm/disarm squawks.

  • Built-in strobe light (1-second pulse) for visual alarm confirmation.

  • Double tamper (front cover + wall/back) for added security.

  • Local diagnostics & placement test with GOOD/STRONG/POOR LED indicator.

Frequently Asked Questions


How loud is it, really?


The manual lists 109 dB minimum at 1 m (piezo) and ~85 dB at 3 m. We also validate loudness on-site after enrollment.


Does it have a strobe?


Yes—the built-in strobe flashes during alarms (pulsed about once per second).


Can it make different sounds for different alarms?


Yes—burglary, fire, CO/gas, and flood each have distinct tones. You can also enable entry/exit beeps and arm/disarm squawks from the panel.


How is battery life so long?


It uses four 3.6 V lithium cells designed for long-life security devices; the guide specifies up to 8 years under typical conditions. Low-battery is reported to the panel.


Will it work with my Qolsys IQ Panel?


Yes—PG9901 is commonly used with Qolsys IQ panels that support PowerG; we’ll enroll and test it during install.


Want a louder, smarter in-home alert?


Smart Shield Systems will mount and enroll your PG9901/PG8901/PG4901 siren, optimize its location using the signal test, and program tones/strobe to your preference—so critical alarms are impossible to miss.
