Professional installation of the Hikvision DS-PWA32-KG AXHub 433 MHz wireless security system requires systematic physical positioning, multi-path communication setup, and peripheral sensor enrollment. Engineered for residential, retail, corporate branch, and light industrial facilities, the system supports up to 32 wireless alarm inputs, 32 wireless outputs (including 4 wireless output expanders), 8 keyfobs, and 2 wireless sirens.
Control Panel Mounting and Power Provisioning
The DS-PWA32-HG central control panel features a compact 155 mm x 155 mm x 35 mm PC + ABS thermoplastic enclosure in white finish. Mount the unit indoors on a flat, vibration-free vertical surface within an operating temperature range of -10 °C to +55 °C and non-condensing relative humidity between 10% and 90%.
Secure the backplate using appropriate wall anchors to engage both the front and rear tamper protection mechanisms. These dual tamper switches instantly register any unauthorized casing detachment or forced removal from the mounting substrate. Connect the supplied external 5 VDC, 10 W power adapter to the terminal port; operating power consumption remains below 5.6 W under standard load. Ensure the integrated 3.8V 4520 mAh lithium backup battery (they are not included) is connected to sustain up to 12 hours of auxiliary standby operation during AC power interruptions.
Network Configuration and AP/STA Mode Commissioning
The AXHub provides multi-path communication redundancy via a self-adaptive 10M/100M RJ45 Ethernet port, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), and a cellular GPRS module. Field commissioning can be executed via the Hik-Connect mobile application or client management software:
- Wi-Fi Provisioning via AP/STA Switch: Shift the on-board hardware DIP switch to AP mode. The integrated 1.5W speaker delivers audible voice prompts confirming access point broadcasting. Connect a mobile device to the panel's broadcast SSID, launch Hik-Connect, and assign target Wi-Fi network credentials.
- Network Switchover: Once network parameters are transferred, immediately switch the DIP switch back to STA mode. The hub will reset its wireless interface and connect to the local WLAN router.
- Cellular Setup: If utilizing GPRS reporting, ensure the installed SIM card has PIN authentication disabled and the carrier's APN settings are configured to prevent link dropout.
Peripheral Enrollment and Sensor Mounting
Peripherals communicate with the control panel via two-way 433 MHz radio frequency transmission utilizing 2GFSK modulation and AES-128 bit data encryption over line-of-sight distances up to 800 m. Devices are registered by scanning the product QR code in the Hik-Connect interface or by activating the peripheral's one-touch pairing button.
| Kit Component | Mounting Guidelines | Coverage / Technical Parameters | Operating Power |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS-PD2-P10P-W PIR Motion Detector | Surface or corner wall mount at a recommended height of 1.8 m to 2.4 m | 10 m detection range, 85° detection angle, animal immunity up to 24 kg | Powered by 1 × 3.0V CR123A battery (they are not included) |
| DS-PD1-MC-WWS Magnetic Contact | Door/window frame alignment; affix sensor to frame and magnet to moving leaf | Two-way RF transmission up to 800 m (open area) with tamper alert | Cell-powered unit (they are not included) |
| DS-19K00-Y Wireless Keyfob | Handheld / portable arming and disarming transmitter | 433 MHz frequency with RF transmission distance up to 300 m (open area) | Powered by 1 × 3.0V CR2032 battery (they are not included) |
System Verification and ARC Protocol Integration
Following hardware deployment, verify signal continuity using the panel's wireless signal quality indicator. The system supports on-board Intruder Verification as a Service (IVaaS) for up to 2 IP camera channels via ONVIF protocol, capturing automated 7-second video verification clips (5 seconds pre-alarm and 2 seconds post-alarm). Configure digital reporting channels to Central Monitoring Stations (CMS / ARC) using the integrated SIA-Contact ID protocol over Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or GPRS to ensure compliance with EN 50131 Grade 2 requirements.
