Description
PGP9976 PowerG+ Wireless Smoke and Heat Detector
The PGP9976 PowerG+ Wireless Smoke and Heat Detector provides dependable fire detection by combining wireless smoke sensing with supplemental fixed-temperature and rate-of-rise heat detection. Designed for compatible PowerG+ security systems, this advanced detector helps identify both the presence of smoke and rapidly developing temperature conditions that may indicate a fire emergency.
An integrated piezoelectric sounder delivers an audible local warning when an alarm condition is detected. With long battery life, battery-level reporting and streamlined enrollment features, the PGP9976 offers a modern wireless fire detection solution for professionally installed residential and light commercial security applications.

Multi-Criteria Fire Detection
The PGP9976 combines smoke detection with two forms of supplemental heat sensing. The fixed-temperature sensor responds when surrounding temperatures reach a specified alarm threshold, while the rate-of-rise sensor monitors for rapidly increasing temperatures that may signal a developing fire.
By monitoring both smoke and heat conditions, the detector provides an additional layer of fire awareness while supporting a clean, wireless installation with no signal wiring required between the detector and compatible control system.
Long Battery Life and Reporting
With up to six years of battery life under normal operating conditions, the PGP9976 helps reduce routine battery replacement requirements. Battery-level reporting allows the connected security system and service provider to monitor battery status and identify when replacement may be required.
Secure Professional Enrollment
Dealer Lockdown and two-factor authentication enrollment features are designed to support secure device installation and system management. Battery pull tabs further simplify initial activation during professional system deployment.
