The PG9WLSHW8 PowerG Wired‑to‑Wireless Converter is a versatile module designed to bring traditional hardwired security sensors into modern Qolsys PowerG (915 MHz) alarm systems. It accepts up to eight wired zones—such as door/window contacts, motions, glassbreaks, and life‑safety devices—and transmits them to the panel using long‑range, encrypted PowerG communication. The module also supports wired sirens, programmable outputs, and auxiliary power for connected devices, making it ideal for system takeovers or expanding existing installations. By bridging legacy wiring with advanced wireless technology, the PG9WLSHW8 allows homeowners and installers to preserve reliable hardwired equipment while upgrading to the enhanced features and convenience of a Qolsys PowerG‑enabled panel.
