DSC PG9307 PowerG Wireless Recessed Door Contact

Overview

The DSC PG9307 is a wireless recessed door contact operating on the PowerG 915 MHz frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) protocol with 128-bit AES encryption. It uses a magnetic reed switch with a 25 mm (1.0 in) gap distance and is designed to be flush-mounted inside the door and frame, making it completely concealed when the door is closed.

Deployment scenarios

The PG9307 is ideal for high-end residential and commercial installations where visible security hardware is not acceptable. Flush recessed mounting hides the contact entirely within the door and frame. The PowerG protocol provides a wireless range of up to 2 km (6,500 ft) in open air, significantly exceeding conventional 345 MHz wireless systems. Available in white and brown to match door frame materials.

Communication and security

PowerG 915 MHz FHSS protocol with 128-bit AES encryption provides secure, interference-resistant communication. Periodic supervisory check-in signals confirm the device is online. Front and rear tamper protection detects removal attempts.

Installation notes

Dimensions are 76 x 19 mm diameter (3.0 x 0.75 in). Requires drilling into the door and frame for flush mounting. Powered by a single CR123A lithium battery with up to 8 years of life. Operating temperature range is -10 C to 55 C (14 F to 131 F).

Karl Wilson

The PG9307 is the premium door contact in the PowerG lineup. I specify it for custom homes and upscale commercial lobbies where the architect or owner will not accept visible surface-mount contacts. The 2 km open-air range on PowerG also provides substantial range margin in large buildings.

Technical Highlights:

• Concealed installation: Flush-mounted design is invisible when the door is closed, ideal for aesthetic-sensitive environments
• 8-year battery life: CR123A lithium battery provides extended service intervals that reduce maintenance costs

Deployment Considerations:

• Use the correct drill bit diameter specified in the installation guide since an oversized hole will compromise the magnetic gap alignment
• The 25 mm gap distance is adequate for most standard door frames but verify the door-to-frame gap on site before specifying recessed contacts

For standard installations where aesthetics are not a concern, the surface-mount PG9303 is easier to install and costs less. Reserve the PG9307 for applications where concealment is a stated requirement.
