14 en | Points	Control Panels

3 Points

3.1 What is a point?

The term point refers to a detection device, or group of devices connected to your security system. Points show individually at the keypad with their names. The point name can describe a single door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an area such as Upstairs or Garage. There are two basic types of points, controlled and 24-hour.

3.2 Controlled points

Controlled points respond to alarm conditions depending upon whether the system is turned on (armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and turn your system off. There are two types of controlled points, part points and interior points.

3.2.1 Part points

Part points often include the exterior doors and windows of the building (the perimeter). When you turn your system Part On, you only turn on (arm) the part points.

2015.09 | 04 | F.01U.307.371

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Control Panels	Points | en 15

3.2.2 Interior points

These points often include interior forms of burglary detection devices, such as motion sensors or interior doors. When you turn your system All On, you turn on (arm) both part points and interior points.

3.3 24-hour points

24-hour points are always on (armed), even when your security system is turned off (disarmed). There are two types of 24-hour points, fire points and non-fire points.

3.3.1 Fire points

Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices. They are always on (armed) and cannot be turned off (disarmed). You can clearly distinguish fire points from other non-fire points at the keypad.

3.3.2 Non-Fire points

Non-fire 24-hour points are always on (armed) and you cannot turn them off (disarm). Panic buttons, hold up buttons, low temperature sensors, and water sensors are examples of devices that are typically monitored by non-fire 24-hour points.

16 en | Areas	Control Panels

4Areas

4.1What is an area?

An area is a number of points that are grouped together so that you can control them together as one unit. For example, if a security system protected a building with three sections – an office, a laboratory, and a cafeteria – the points in each of those sections could be grouped together as an area. With each section being its own area in your security system, you can turn them on (arm) and off (disarm) individually, in groups (office and laboratory, for example), or all together.

Control Panels	Warning displays and tones | en 17

5 Warning displays and tones

The keypad emits several distinct tones and shows text to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens may also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of the premises alert neighbors to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters.

The keypad has status icons that show the status of the system. For more information, refer to the status icons overview section.

5.1 Keypad quiets for keystrokes

Pressing any key on the keypad lights the keys and quiets any warning tones. If you do not press another key within 20 seconds, the keypad lights go out and the warning tones resume.

5.2 Silence the alarm tone

The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time before it automatically shuts off. To silence the alarm before the time expires, simply enter your personal passcode and press [ENTER].

5.3 Entry delay tone and display

When you enter a system that is on (armed) through a point programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits the entry delay tone as a reminder to turn off the security system.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

2015.09 | 04 | F.01U.307.371

18 en | Warning displays and tones

Control Panels

Failure to turn off your security system before the entry delay time expires might sound the burglary tone and could result in an alarm report being sent to your security company.

Your security company programmed the entry delay times for you:

My entry delay time is: _______________________________

5.4 Exit delay tone and display

When you first turn on (arm) your system (using your keypad or keyfob), the keypad emits the exit delay tone, shows Exit Now!, and counts down the exit delay time. The tone pulsing rate increases during the last 10 sec of exit time.

If you exit and re-enter before exit time expires, the exit delay timer restarts the countdown. The restart only applies once.

Your security company programmed the exit delay times for you:

My exit delay time is: _______________________________

5.5 Keypress tones

The keypad sounds the keypress tone (a short beep) when you press any key. Use the Settings menu to enable/disable the keypress tone.

5.5.1 Invalid entry (error tone)

The invalid entry tone follows the keypress tone when the keypress completes an invalid entry.

Some entries require one keypress. Other entries require a series of two or more keypresses.

20 en | How the system reports events	Control Panels

6 How the system reports events

Your security system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your security company. In the event your security system fails to communicate, the keypad sounds the trouble tone and the keypad shows a communication failed message. Notify your security company of the communications failure.

If your telephone, internet, or cellular service is interrupted, your security system cannot send reports to the security company unless an alternate means of transmitting the reports exists.

For telephone communication, your security company can program your security system to automatically disconnect the telephones when sending reports to the security company. Once the report finishes, the security system returns the telephones to normal operation (check with your security company).

Consult with your installer to determine if your security system is configured with a communicator delay. A communicator delay aborts reports to your security company if the control panel is disarmed within 30 to 45 seconds after a burglary alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type alarms are always reported without a delay.

Control Panels

How the system reports events | en 21

Consult with your installer to determine if your security system is configured with a cancel feature. If you silence a non-fire alarm before the alarm sound timer expires, your security systems sends a cancel report to your security company.

Consult with your installer to determine if your security system is configured with a swinger shutdown feature for non-fire alarms and trouble events. After a programmable number of alarm or trouble events, your security system automatically bypasses points.

If your telephone service includes the call waiting feature, your security company can configure your security system so that call waiting does not interfere with alarm reporting. Be sure to notify your security company if you enable call waiting. A system that is configured for call waiting cannot report alarms correctly when call waiting is disabled. If you disable call waiting after your system has been configured for it, be sure to notify your security company.

22 en | Alarm events	Control Panels

7 Alarm events

The system produces several types of events.

7.1 Priority of events

If more than one event occurs, the system sorts them into one of six groups. The groups are (highest priority first): Fire Alarms, Gas Alarms, User Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, and Non-Fire Troubles. The group with the highest priority scrolls first. The descriptions and instructions that follow describe the tones and displays for each group, and explain how to silence the tones.

7.2 Fire alarms

Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates, the keypad emits a unique pulsating fire tone.

Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the steady burglary tone, the pulsating gas tone, and the pulsating fire tone. The tone sounds for the duration set by your security company.

The display shows the point text of the first point that went into

fire alarm. Press /[NEXT] to manually show additional points (if any) that went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the newest.

2015.09 | 04 | F.01U.307.371

Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Control Panels	Alarm events | en 23

7.2.1 Silence fire alarms

Enter your passcode to silence fire alarms. If the system is on (armed), silencing the fire alarm also turns the system off. The system now shows Alarm Silenced, and then the number of points in alarm, and the names of all the points in alarm, in the order of occurrence.

Your security company can program your system so that users cannot silence some fire alarms until the fire event clears. Your security company can program the system so that users cannot silence some fire alarms until the fire point has restored to normal (trouble conditions are corrected). The Alarm Silenced message continues to scroll as a reminder that you can still view the points in alarm by using the View Event Memory menu option.

If the fire point is still in alarm (faulted), the point goes to trouble after silencing. Some fire points need to be reset. You cannot clear fire troubles from the display. When fire points return to normal, the security system automatically clears the fire troubles from the display.

7.3 Gas alarms

Gas alarms are the second highest priority events. When a gas point activates, the keypad emits a unique pulsating gas alarm.

Evacuate all occupants and investigate for gas. Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the burglary tone, the pulsating gas tone, and the pulsating fire tone. The tone sounds for the duration set by your security company.

The display shows the point text of the first point that went into

gas alarm. Press /[NEXT] to manually show additional points (if any) that went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the newest.

7.3.1 Silence gas alarms

Enter your passcode to silence gas alarms. If the system is on (armed), silencing the gas alarm also turns the security system off (disarms the system). The system now shows Alarm Silenced, and then the number of points in alarm, and the name of all the points in alarm in the order of occurrence.

Your security company can program the system so that users cannot silence some gas alarms until the gas event clears. Enter your passcode to clear the scrolling point text from the display. The Alarm Silenced message continues to scroll as a reminder that you can still view the text of the points in alarm by using the

View Event Memory menu option.

2015.09 | 04 | F.01U.307.371

Control Panels	Alarm events | en 25

If the gas point is still in alarm (faulted) then the point goes to trouble after silencing. Some gas points need to be reset. You cannot clear gas troubles from the display. When gas points return to normal (trouble conditions are corrected), the security system automatically clears the fire trouble from the display.

7.4 User and burglary alarms

User alarms have the third priority. User alarms are user initiated alarms that include hold-up, panic, and medical alarms, for example. Medical alarms are not available on UL listed systems. A steady tone sounds for the time set by your security company.

Burglary alarms are the forth priority. When a burglary point activates while the system is on (armed), the keypad emits a steady burglary tone.

Ensure that all occupants know the difference between the steady user or burglary tone, the pulsating gas tone, and the pulsating fire tone. The tone sounds for the time set by your security company.

7.4.1 Silence user and burglar alarms

The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time before it automatically shuts off. To silence user and burglary alarms before the time expires, simply enter your personal passcode and press [ENTER].
