DSC PGP9979

The DSC PGP9979 is a fully wireless PowerG+ heat detector designed for locations where traditional smoke detection may not work well—like kitchens, garages, attics, or utility rooms. It senses both fixed temperature (135 °F / 57 °C) thresholds and rapid rate-of-rise heat so it can respond to a fast increase in temperature as a sign of fire.

Because it uses PowerG+ two-way communication, the detector sends regular supervision signals, battery level updates, and tamper alerts to your control panel. It supports advanced features like dealer lock-down and two-factor authentication during enrollment, adding security to your installation. Its battery design supports up to six years of operation under normal use, reducing maintenance frequency.

The PGP9979 is compatible with modern PowerG+ panels—such as IQ Panel 4, IQ Hub, and IQ Pro (with proper firmware)—and can also operate in legacy mode on panels without full PowerG+ support. Installation is straightforward: mount the detector in an optimal location, enroll it to your panel, and test the heat sensor activation. With its sleek design and enhanced functionality, the PGP9979 is a robust choice for heat sensing in monitored security systems.
