PGST SOS button: instant emergency alert
The PGST SOS button is a personal safety accessory designed for emergency situations. One press sends an immediate alert signal to the PGST alarm panel, which activates the siren and notifies your emergency contacts by phone call or SMS. It is wireless and communicates via radio directly with the panel.
PGST SOS button: key uses
Ideal for elderly people living alone, people with reduced mobility, or anyone who needs a rapid alert option at home. Its compact format means it can be worn around the neck or wrist, or placed in accessible locations throughout the home such as the bathroom, bedroom, or hallway.
PGST SOS button: setup
Pair the SOS button with your PGST alarm panel during initial setup. Once paired, no further configuration is needed. Perform a range test to confirm reliable signal reception from all planned locations. The battery level is reported to the panel to alert you when replacement is needed.

FAQ — PGST SOS button
Does the PGST SOS button work without an alarm panel?
No. The SOS button must be paired with a PGST panel (PG103, PG106, PG107, or PG108) to function. The panel processes the signal and triggers alerts.
Can I programme multiple emergency contacts?
Yes. The PGST panel allows you to programme multiple phone numbers to be called or notified when the SOS button is pressed. The number of contacts depends on your panel model.
Is the PGST SOS button waterproof?
Check the specifications of your chosen model for its water resistance rating. For bathroom use, verify the IP rating before installation.
What is the radio range of the PGST SOS button?
Range depends on the environment (walls, obstacles). Perform a range test from all intended locations before finalising placement.
Also in the PGST range
Pair the SOS button with the PGST PG103 alarm panel for complete home protection. Secure entries with the PGST door sensor. Add the PGST indoor siren for audible deterrence.
PGST SOS Button: Instant Emergency Alert at Your Fingertips
The PGST SOS button is a personal emergency call device that triggers an alert in under a second with a single press. Compact and lightweight, it can be worn on the wrist as a bracelet, around the neck, or placed in strategic locations around the home: bathroom, bedroom or kitchen. When triggered, the PGST panel sequentially calls the emergency numbers you have programmed and sends SMS alerts — without requiring an internet connection or Wi-Fi.
It is particularly suited to elderly people living alone, people with limited mobility, or anyone who wants a reliable means of calling for help quickly in the event of a fall, a medical episode or a security concern. The button works exclusively with a PGST control panel (PG103, PG106, PG107 or PG108) — it has no independent calling capability without one.
Frequently Asked Questions — PGST SOS Button
What is the transmission range of the SOS button?
The PGST SOS button communicates with the control panel via 433 MHz radio. In open air, the theoretical range reaches 100–150 metres. Inside a home with thick concrete or stone walls, the practical range is typically 30–80 metres depending on room layout and obstacle density. For multi-storey houses or large floor areas, position the control panel centrally to maximise radio coverage throughout all areas of the property where the SOS button may be used.
Can the alarm be triggered accidentally in a pocket?
The PGST SOS button is designed to minimise accidental triggering. The button is typically recessed or protected by a raised rim that prevents unintentional activation through casual contact. Some models require a sustained press of 2–3 seconds to trigger the alert, avoiding false alarms from brief accidental presses. If an accidental trigger does occur, most PGST panels allow a rapid cancellation via the keypad or app before the emergency calls are placed.
How long does the SOS button battery last?
The PGST SOS button runs on a very low-consumption battery. With normal use — a few test transmissions per month — battery life is typically 12–24 months depending on the model. The PGST panel continuously monitors the SOS button’s battery charge and sends you a notification alert when it approaches the critical threshold, giving you time to replace it before any failure occurs. It is recommended to test the button monthly to confirm it is functioning correctly.
PGST SOS Button: Instant Emergency Alert Always Within Reach
The PGST SOS button is a personal emergency alert device that triggers an alarm with a single press in under one second. Compact and lightweight, it can be worn on the wrist as a bracelet, hung around the neck, or placed at strategic points around the home: bathroom, bedroom, kitchen. When pressed, the PGST control unit sequentially calls the pre-programmed emergency numbers and sends SMS alerts — without requiring an internet or Wi-Fi connection.
It is particularly suited to elderly people living alone, people with reduced mobility, or anyone who may need to call for help quickly in an emergency — a fall, cardiac episode or moment of insecurity. The button works exclusively in conjunction with a PGST control unit (PG103, PG106, PG107 or PG108).
Frequently Asked Questions – PGST SOS Button
What is the transmission range of the SOS button?
The PGST SOS button communicates with the control unit via 433 MHz radio. In open terrain, the theoretical range is 100 to 150 metres. In a house with thick concrete or stone walls, the practical range is typically 30 to 80 metres, depending on floor plan and obstacle density. In multi-storey homes or large floor areas, position the control unit centrally to maximise radio coverage across all zones of the property.
Can the button be accidentally triggered in a pocket?
The PGST SOS button is designed to minimise accidental triggering. The button is typically recessed or protected by a raised rim that prevents unintentional activation through simple contact. Certain models require a press of 2 to 3 seconds to trigger the alarm, avoiding false alerts from brief inadvertent contact. In the event of accidental activation, most PGST control units allow rapid cancellation via the keypad or app before the emergency calls are placed.
How long does the SOS button battery last?
The PGST SOS button operates on a battery with very low power consumption. Under normal use — a few test transmissions per month — battery life is 12 to 24 months depending on the model. The PGST control unit continuously monitors the SOS button battery level and sends a notification when a critical threshold is reached, allowing you to replace the battery before protection is affected. A monthly test of the button is recommended to confirm it is working correctly.
