KF-234 PG2
Wireless PowerG 2-Way Keyfob
Installation Instructions
1. INTRODUCTION
KF-234 PG2 is a miniature PowerG 4-button (6-function) keyfob,
designed for use with the PowerMaster-10.
Transmission is initiated by pressing any one of the four recessed
pushbuttons. Upon pressing a specific button, the KF-234 PG2
transmits a PowerG message associated with the button that was
pressed and identifiable by PowerMaster-10 control panels.
A red LED lights during transmission. When an identified command is
received by the PowerMaster-10 control panel, it acknowledges the
command. Upon acknowledgement, the green LED lights and a
happy beep is heard to indicate successful completion of the
command or the red LED lights and a sad beep is heard to indicate
that the control panel cannot perform the command.
In addition, a battery report is transmitted
with the outgoing message. PowerMaster-
10 control panels are designed to identify
this report and operate a corresponding
output, if required.
Each keyfob is supplied with a small key
ring.
Operating power is obtained from an
internal 3V Lithium battery.

8. MISCELLANEOUS COMMENTS
8.1 Product Limitations
Visonic Ltd. wireless systems are very reliable and are tested to high
standards. However, due to their low transmitting power and limited
range (required by FCC and other regulatory authorities), there are
some limitations to be considered:
A. Control panels may be blocked by radio signals occurring on or near
their operating frequencies, regardless of the code selected.
B. Wireless equipment should be tested regularly to determine
whether there are sources of interference and to protect against
faults.
