Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your PGST security system.
- Battery Monitoring: The system features a low battery alarm for wireless sensors. When a door magnet or infrared sensor's voltage is low, it sends signals to the host, which then pushes information to your app. Replace batteries promptly when alerted. The main control panel includes a Lithium Polymer backup battery.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the control panel and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Firmware Updates: Check the Smart Life app periodically for any available firmware updates for your system to ensure you have the latest features and security enhancements.
