DSC PowerG PG9862 Wireless Ceiling-Mount PIR Detector

The DSC PowerG PG9862 is a wireless ceiling-mounted PIR motion detector that provides 360-degree coverage for small and midsize rooms. Its low-profile design helps protect open areas where wall-mounted detectors would leave difficult angles or create unnecessary visual impact.

Key features

• 360-degree passive infrared motion detection
• Coverage up to approximately 32.8 feet in diameter under specified mounting conditions
• Designed for small and midsize rooms
• Two-way, encrypted PowerG wireless communication
• Modern, unobtrusive ceiling-mounted design
• Typical battery life of up to five years under manufacturer test conditions
• Low-battery and supervision reporting through the connected system
• Simple enrollment, installation, and maintenance

Recommended applications

• Offices, conference rooms, reception areas, and retail spaces
• Open rooms where central ceiling coverage is more practical than wall mounting
• Residential living areas and similar indoor spaces
• Locations requiring discreet 360-degree motion coverage

Panel compatibility

Confirm the control-panel model, firmware, PowerG frequency, and enrollment support before ordering. Similar model numbers can represent different devices or regional radio versions and are not automatically interchangeable.

Placement and testing

The published coverage assumes appropriate ceiling height and an unobstructed field of view. Beams, shelving, partitions, hanging fixtures, HVAC movement, direct sunlight, and rapidly changing heat sources can affect performance. Final placement should be walk-tested throughout the intended detection area, with alarm, supervision, and low-battery reporting verified at the panel.

Model correction

This detector’s correct DSC model number is PG9862. The former product title and URL incorrectly transposed the digits as PG8962; the corrected listing now uses the manufacturer’s model designation.
