Introduction - Visonic PowerMaster-33 G2 Installer's Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

PowerMaster® is a PowerG-enabled professional all-in-one wireless security, fire, and safety system. The
PowerMaster supports advanced applications and Visonic's PowerG™ Two-Way, Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) and Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) wireless technology. This offers unmatched wireless
robustness, superior range, and long battery life. It is a user friendly solution for both monitoring service providers and
professional installers.
The system consists of the PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel that operates in conjunction with a wireless keypad
display device (KP-250 PG2). The control panel accommodates all control circuitry and operation software for a
programmable 64-zone alarm system, while the keypad display unit enables the installer and the user to enter their
commands, and provides visual and audible feedback. The PowerMaster-33 G2 control panel has dual path
configuration: IP via Ethernet to the customer-premises gateway, and cellular modem (2G or 3G). The reporting is
done through IP as primary and cellular modem as secondary.
Depending on the configuration you require the PowerMaster-33 G2 can have one of the following modules installed:
•
Expander Module (LE)
This configuration allows the PowerMaster-33 control panel to operate two additional wired zones,
wired sirens, speech box, and one PGM.
•
Expander Module (EXP-33)
This configuration allows the PowerMaster-33 control panel to operate eight additional
programmable wired inputs/outputs (zones or PGMs).
The following table compares the LE and EXP-33 module characteristics:
