PGST door sensor: how it works
The PGST door sensor uses magnetic detection technology: when a door or window opens, the gap between the detector and the magnet breaks the magnetic field, triggering an immediate wireless signal to the PGST alarm panel. The panel then activates the siren and sends notifications to programmed emergency contacts.
At each arming cycle, the panel automatically checks all connected door sensors. If any entry point is open when you arm the system, you are notified before the arming process completes.
PGST door sensor: features and specifications
Wireless and battery-powered with ultra-low consumption, the PGST door sensor requires no wiring. It is compatible with all PGST alarm panels (PG103, PG106, PG107, PG108) and works on all types of openings: doors, windows, sliding panels, and glass doors. Available in white for a discreet integration into any interior.
The sensor reports its battery level to the alarm panel, so you are always notified in advance when a battery replacement is needed.
PGST door sensor: installation
Mount the detection body on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving part (door or window leaf). The sensor can be installed vertically or horizontally. Screw mounting is recommended for durability, though strong double-sided tape can also be used. Always perform a range test before finalising the installation to ensure reliable signal reception by the alarm panel.

FAQ — PGST door sensor
Is the PGST door sensor compatible with all PGST alarm panels?
Yes. The PGST door sensor is compatible with all panels in the PGST range: PG103, PG106, PG107, and PG108. Pairing is done during the initial setup of the alarm system.
Can the door sensor be installed on a sliding window or glass door?
Yes. The sensor works on any type of opening, including sliding windows and glass doors, as long as you can mount the detector on the fixed frame and the magnet on the moving part.
How do I know when to replace the battery?
The PGST door sensor transmits its battery level to the panel. When the level becomes critical, an alert notifies you that a replacement is needed, ensuring continuous monitoring without interruption.
Can the door sensor work without an alarm panel?
No. The PGST door sensor must be paired with a PGST alarm panel to function. The panel processes the signal and triggers the siren and notifications. The sensor alone has no standalone alert function.
Also in the PGST range
Combine the door sensor with the PGST infrared sensor for full indoor detection. Connect everything to the PGST PG103 alarm panel. Add the PGST indoor siren for immediate audible deterrence.
