Security systems help to secure life, property, and investments
against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The keypad is an advanced
digital device that offers a variety of features not available with
other systems. Its highly visible, back-lit display and built-in
sounder alert you to a number of system events. Stylish design
and ease-of-use make it ideal for property protection.
Your security company can program the system to meet your
individual needs. Your property is given its own English language
description that appears in the display. Contact your security
company should problems be encountered during testing of the
system.

2 Keypads overview
2.1 Identify your keypad style
Take note of which keypad you own so that you can read the
appropriate instructions.
2015.09 | 04 | F.01U.307.371Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Control PanelsKeypads overview | en 13
2.2 Keypad cleaning
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean your
keypad (for example, microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner).
Spray the cleaner onto the cloth. Do not spray directly onto the
keypad.
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.307.371Bosch Security Systems, Inc.
Control PanelsPoints | 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.
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 PanelsWarning 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.
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.

Control PanelsWarning displays and tones | en 19
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.
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 PanelsHow 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.
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
(if any) that went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the
newest.

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.
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
(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.

Control PanelsAlarm 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].
For silent alarms, such as hold up alarms, no audible
alarm sounds.
