Bosch B443 Installation Manual

1 | Overview

The B443 provides IP communication over the GSM (GPRS/ EDGE/UMTS/HSPA+) digital cellular network by directly connecting the module to the control panel. The control panel can be conﬁgured to use B443 for alarm reporting, remote access and personal notiﬁcation messaging. The B443 module requires a SIM card with active cellular service to communicate. Bosch Cellular service and SIM cards are available in some countries. Consult your Bosch representative for details.

CAUTION!

Remove power to the control panel prior to installing or removing the module.

2.1 | Insert the SIM card

Inserting the SIM card:

1. Break away the SIM card from the plastic die-cut card.

2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM card holder on the module by sliding it into the card holder, verifying that the gold contact side of the SIM card is against the module. Refer to Figure 2.1.

2.2 | Install the antenna

Installing the antenna:

1. Place the magnetic antenna on top of the enclosure, or vertically on another metal surface.

2. Route the antenna cable through a knockout.

3. Connect the antenna cable to the module.

4. Secure the antenna cable to the inside of the enclosure.

2.3 | Install the module

The control panel communicates with and provides power to the module through the plug-in connection. Proper installation results in the necessary electrical and mechanical connection.

Installing the module:

1. With the module facing the control panel as shown in Figure

2.3, insert the support leg into the support hole labeled X.

2. Align the PCB metal contacts with the on-board connector.

3. Push the module into place. The retention clip snaps closed and secures the module in place.

2.4 | Module removal

To remove an installed module, hold the plug-in module retention clip open with one hand while grasping the top corners of the module support handle with your other hand. Pull the module out.

3 | Diagnostic LED descriptions

At power up, all module LEDs activate for several seconds, indicating proper insertion. The Signal LEDs then turn oﬀ until the module registers on the cellular network. Registering a new module might take up to 3 minutes.

Check the LED display to ensure a good signal strength level, and adjust the antenna location as required. The signal strength LEDs momentarily turn oﬀ to indicate the module has measured and updated the signal strength status. Refer to Table 3.1.

Flash pattern Function

Red Indicates an

unacceptable signal strength level.

Yellow Indicates a marginal

signal strength level.

Green (1 light) Indicates a good signal

strength level.

Green (2 lights) Indicates a very good

signal strength level.
