Safety instructions Read the safety information before you install the equipment. Important: This equipment must be installed by a skilled person only. A skilled person is an installer with appropriate technical training. The installer must be aware of potential hazards during installation and measures available to minimize risks to the installer and other people.
Introduction The IQ Hardwire PowerG Wired to Wireless Converter converts existing hardwired zones to PowerG wireless zones. There are two models, the PG8HRDW8 and PG9HRDW8, and each provide eight hardwired zones and four programmable outputs. This document describes how to mount the enclosure, wire zones, connect the battery, enroll devices, and troubleshoot.
Technical Specifications The following table outlines the electrical ratings of the components of the IQ Hardwire PowerG Wired to Wireless Converter. Table 2: Technical specifications Type Description DC input voltage and current Use the provided external power adapter with the following ratings.
Page 8
Table 2: Technical specifications Type Description Bell circuit voltage and current 11.3 VDC to 12.5 VDC, maximum current 700 mA continuous. For EN50131 Grade 2 applications, the voltage rating is 9.6 VDC to 13.75 VDC. Note: The bell output supports continuous burglary alarms, T3 fire alarms, and T4 CO alarms.
Installing the module This section describes how to mount the enclosure, install the battery, and wire the system. The enclosure has three breakaway tabs that you can use for wiring access during installation. There are also two slots for the battery strap to pass through. For more information, see the highlighted areas in Figure 1.
Mounting the module This section describes how to mount the enclosure and the external power adapter. Mounting the enclosure To mount the PG8HRDW8 and PG9HRDW8 enclosure, complete the following steps: Use the four ST 6X1/2 type 25 Phil screws provided to secure the enclosure to the wall. For more information, see the highlighted areas Table in Figure .

Figure 2: Mounting locations Callout Description PC Link connection. Note: Pin one is on the right. When you connect to the PC Link, make sure that the PCB side of the PC Link connector aligns with the white line on the module PCB, and use only the four pins on the right.

Callout Description Status LED Power adapter - plug-in adapter model shown, when using adapter with cord connected use the mounting tabs to attach adapter to the wall. Use the following table to determine the distance and gauge for the secondary wiring. Table 3: Wiring distance and gauge Distance (m/ ft) Gauge (AWG)
Wire the device to any COM terminal. Note: For UL and ULC installations, do not use normally open or normally closed loops. The following figure shows you how to wire normally closed loops. The image on the left shows two normally closed contacts with no end-of-line resistor, and the image on the right shows one normally closed contact with no end-of-line resistor.
For fire detection installations that use smoke detectors, powered or non-powered heat detectors, or CO detectors, use the wiring configuration on the right hand side of Figure 4. These devices use separate AUX2 output for power. Make sure that the voltage range of the AUX2 output is compatible with the input voltage range of the detector you are using.
Note: Any zone programmed for fire or 24 hour supervisory must be wired with a SEOL resistor regardless of the type of zone wiring supervision selected for the panel. If you change the zone supervision from DEOL to SEOL, or from NC to DEOL, turn off the system completely and then turn on the system for correct operation.

Note: If the device requires a current greater than the rated value of the PGM output, a relay and an approved power supply are required. To wire the LED indicator, see Figure 6. Figure 6: LED indicator wiring Callout Description AUX terminals PGM terminals LED indicator...

Table 9: 2-wire smoke detector initiation circuit Item Specification Maximum number of detectors per loop 18 without sounders Maximum ripple 45 mV Resting voltage and time 0.2 VDC/ 5 seconds Loop resistance 24 Ω maximum Minimum standby impedance 1250 Ω nominal Maximum alarm impedance 707 Ω...
Callout Description 5600 Ω single end-of-line resistor 100 Ω alarm initiating loop RM-1 or RM-2 power loop supervisory relay, 12 VDC, 35 mA. Module zone input Note: You can manually configure PGM2 as a 2-wire smoke loop in panel programming. If you configure any zone input as a fire zone, PGM2 is automatically set as a 4-wire smoke detector, and acts as a power reset.
Figure 11: Installing the battery Wiring the module This section describes how to wire the external power supply and battery. For more information, see Figure . PG8HRDW8 and PG9HRDW8 IQ Hardwire PowerG Wired to Wireless Converter Installation Manual...
Wiring the power supply To wire the external power supply, complete the follow steps: On the power supply, secure the wires to the terminals. Insert the cable through the back of the enclosure. Connect the wires to the 18 VDC terminals on the PCB. Wiring the battery To wire the battery, complete the following steps: Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminals on the PCB and the battery.
Wiring a keypad/HSM2108/HSM2300 For v1.2 and higher, you can wire a maximum of four keypads to the PG8HRDW8 or PG9HRDW8 and a maximum of four HSM2108 and one HSM2300 modules. These modules should be connected to the Corbus. Note: For UL residential fire applications, ensure there are no mixed fire or burg devices on each zone expander AUX output or power supply AUX output.

Fire Alarm or CO Alarm Bells Silenced You can silence Fire alarms or CO Alarms by entering a valid access code. The message "Fire Alarm/Bells Silenced" or "CO Alarm/Bells Silenced" is displayed on the LCD keypad connected to the corbus. The message will not be cleared until all the fire zones zones are restored on system.
Enrolling the module Before you enroll the module, ensure that all hardwired zones, PGM, AUX, and BELL are wired to the module. To enroll the module, complete the following steps: Enable enrollment through panel programming. For more information, refer to the Qolsys IQPanel2/IQPanel4 Installation Manual.
Enrolling wired zones automatically When you successfully enroll the module to the control panel, eight hardwired zones are added to the control panel. The zones display on the control panel with the same ID as the module and zone label as the corresponding hardwired input. Enable and configure each zone input and PGM using the zone configuration options on the control panel.
Enrolling a keypad/zone expander/power supply To enroll a keypad on to the module, complete the following steps: Select Settings > Advanced Settings > Installation > Devices > Security Sensors. To automatically enroll all keypads and modules that are correctly wired to the module, select Auto Learn.
