3. Setup Guide

3.1 Physical Installation

The PGST A107F system is designed for easy DIY installation. The main control panel and sensors can be mounted using screws in key areas of your home, such as near doors, windows, or in rooms requiring motion detection.

• Control Panel: Mount the control panel in a central location, preferably near a power outlet and within Wi-Fi range.
• Door/Window Sensors: Install these sensors on doors and windows. Ensure the two parts of the sensor are aligned and close to each other when the door/window is closed.
• PIR Motion Sensors: Position motion sensors in areas where intruders are likely to pass, avoiding direct sunlight or heat sources that could cause false alarms.
• Siren: Place the siren in a location where its sound can be heard effectively throughout the property.
• SOS Button: Keep the SOS button in an easily accessible location for emergencies.

3.2 Network Configuration

The system supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks only. It does not support 5G Wi-Fi. A 4G GSM card can also be used for cellular communication.

4. Operating the System

4.1 Arming and Disarming

The system can be armed or disarmed manually via the control panel, remote controls, or the smartphone application. You can also set schedules for automatic arming and disarming.

Figure 4.1: Four panels showing scheduled arming and disarming scenarios: automatic disarm upon waking up (7:00), automatic arm when leaving out (8:00), automatic disarm upon returning home (18:00), and automatic arm when sleeping (22:00).

4.2 Real-time Notifications

When motion is detected or a sensor is triggered, the system sends real-time notifications directly to your smartphone via the connected application. This allows you to monitor your home's security status remotely.

4.3 SOS Function

Activating the SOS button immediately sends a distress signal. This signal is transmitted to pre-designated emergency contacts, such as family members or local authorities, ensuring a rapid response.

4.4 Voice Control

The system supports voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. You can arm or disarm your system using voice commands.

4.5 Preset Alarm Calls

The system allows you to preset up to five alarm call numbers. If an alarm is triggered, the system will dial these numbers in sequence until a connection is made, ensuring that alarm notifications are not missed.

5. Maintenance

5.1 Sensor Battery Replacement

The wireless sensors are powered by batteries. The system is designed to alert you when a sensor's battery is low. Upon receiving a low battery notification, replace the battery in the affected sensor promptly to ensure continuous protection.

6. Troubleshooting

• Wi-Fi Connectivity Issues: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The system does not support 5G Wi-Fi. Verify the Wi-Fi signal strength at the control panel's location.
• SIM Card Not Working: If using a 4G GSM card, ensure it is properly inserted and activated with a compatible carrier. Some carriers may have specific requirements or limitations.
• No Alerts During Power Outage: The system relies on a continuous power supply and Wi-Fi for full functionality. For continued operation during a power outage, a 4G GSM card can provide cellular backup for alerts, though this may incur carrier fees.
• Setup Difficulties: If you encounter difficulties during setup, refer to the detailed instructions in the app or contact customer support for additional operational videos.
• Sensor Not Responding: Check the battery level of the sensor. Ensure the sensor is within range of the control panel and that there are no obstructions interfering with the wireless signal.
