Bosch B450 Installation Guide

1 | Overview

The B450 Bus Communicator Interface Module (wired to a compatible control panel) is a four-wire powered SDI2, SDI, or Option bus device that provides two-way communication over commercial cellular networks using a plug-in communicator.

The B450 on-board rotary switch determines the bus address of the device. Configuration of the B450 is performed via USB or SMS. On SDI2 control panels configuration can also be done on the keypad or through Remote Programming Software (RPS).

2 | SDI2 address settings

The address switch determines the bus address for the B450 module. The control panel requires the address for communications. Use a slotted screwdriver to set the address

switch.

NOTICE!

The module reads the address switch setting only during power up. If you change the switch after you apply power to the module, you must cycle the power to the module in order for the new setting to be enabled.

2.1 | Set the B450 address

The B450 address switch determines the bus address of the device. Set the address switch per the control panel configuration. If multiple B450 devices reside on the same

system, each B450 module must have a unique system address, and cannot share the same address value. Figure 2.1 shows the address switch settings for address 01. Refer to Table 2.1 for panel-specific settings.

3 | Installation

Perform the following steps to install the B450.

3.1 | Insert the module into the B450

Insert the communication module into the slot of the B450, depending on your communication module (one with a SIM card, or one without). Refer to Figure 3.1.2.

Figure 3.1.2: Inserting the communication module

1 ― SIM card

2 ― B44x cellular communication module (available separately)

3 ― B450

3.2 | Install the module

Mount the B450 into the enclosure’s 3-hole mounting pattern using the supplied mounting screws, and secure the antenna onto the enclosure. Mount the B450 into the interior side of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 3.2.

Figure 3.3: Installing the module

Callout ― Description

2 ― Enclosure

3 ― Mounting screws (3)

4 ― B44x plug-in cellular communicator antenna (routed through any knock-out)

5 ― B44x plug-in cellular communicator antenna cable (connected to the communication module)

3.3 | Wire to the control panel

When wiring a B450 to a control panel, you can use either the module’s terminal strip labeled with PWR, A, B, and COM or the module’s interconnect wiring connectors (wire included).

Interconnect wiring parallels the PWR, A, B, and COM terminals on the terminal strip. Figure 1.1 indicates the location of both the terminal strip and the interconnect connect connectors on the module.

NOTICE!

UL requires that for security installations, the B450 module be installed in a UL Listed enclosure with a tamper.

NOTICE!

Remove power to the control panel prior to wiring a B450 module to the control panel using either the terminal strip wiring or interconnect cable to wire to the control panel. Do not use both.

1 ― Control panel (B5512 shown)

2 ― B450 module

3 ― Terminal wiring strip

4 ― Interconnect wiring (P/N: F01U079745) (included)

4 | Configuration

You can configure the B450 using one of the methods described in this section for your control panel type.

4.1 | Plug and play configuration

When installing under the following conditions, the B450 needs no further configuration to communicate:

––AES Encryption is not required.

––Low signal delay can be no more than 200 sec.

4.2| Configuring with SDI2 control panels

An SDI2-compatible control panel automatically configures a connected module.

1.Power off the compatible control panel.

2.Set the address switch to the correct address for the control panel (SDI2 control panels use address 1 or 2).

3.Connect the module to the control panel bus and apply power.

4.Program the control panel communication settings using RPS or the keypad.

4.3 | Configuring with SMS

The B450 supports configuration by SMS. You can send SMS via mobile phone to the B450. For more information, refer to the

B450 Installation and Operation Guide.

NOTICE!

Power up the B450 with the address switch set to the desired bus. When ready to program using SMS, turn the switch to position 0. When done

programming, turn the switch back. Failure to return the address switch to the previous setting will result in a troubled condition.

4.4 | Configuring with USB

The B450 supports configuration by USB. Before you can access the USB interface, you must install the RBUS1CP.inf file on the target PC or laptop. The RBUS1CP.inf file is available on the supplied CD-ROM.

NOTICE!

Power up the B450 with the address switch set to the desired bus. When ready to program using USB, turn the switch to position 0. When done

programming, turn the switch back. Failure to return the address switch to the previous setting will result in a trouble condition.

4.4.1 | Install a communication program

To use USB connection from a computer to the B450 to configure the B450, you must use a terminal emulator software program such as Tera Term, located on the included B450 CDROM.

4.4.2 | Connect via USB cable

Insert one end of the USB cable into the PC or laptop, and insert the other end into the B450 USB port.

NOTICE!

USB connection via the USB cable is only used for temporary configuration programming.

4.4.3 | Log into USB interface

Log into the USB interface and make your selections. For more information, refer to the B450 Installation and Operation Guide.

5 | LED descriptions

The B450 Module includes the following on-board LEDs to assist with troubleshooting issues (refer to Figure 1.1 for the location of the LEDs):

–Heartbeat (system status). Refer to Table 5.1.

–RX/TX communication. Refer to Table 5.2

Flash pattern	Function
Flashes once every 1 sec	Normal State: Indicates
	normal operation state.
3 quick flashes every 1 sec	Communication Error
	State: Indicates a bus
	communication error with
	the control panel.
On Steady	Trouble State: Indicates a
	trouble condition exists.
	Examine the other LEDs
	to determine the trouble
	condition.
Off	LED Trouble State: Module
	is not powered, or there is a
	failure in the module. Check
	for proper installation.

Table 5.1: Heartbeat LED Descriptions

NOTICE!

When the tamper is shorted, the firmware version flashes, then the B450 LEDs are disabled to conserve power. To see the troubleshooting LEDs, open the tamper circuit or jumper.

Flash pattern	Function
RX (Receive) Flashing	Occurs when the module
	receives a message from
	over-the-air.
TX (Transmit) Flashing	Occurs when the module
	receives a message to send
	out over-the-air.

Table 5.2: RX/TX LEDs Description

6 | Show the firmware version

To review the firmware version using an LED flash pattern, tamper the B450.

Refer to Section 5 for flash patterns.

To tamper the B450, do one of the following:

––If the optional tamper switch is installed:

With the enclosure door open, close the tamper switch.

––If the optional tamper switch is NOT installed: Momentarily short the tamper pins (use a jumper or screwdriver).

When the tamper switch is activated (open to closed), the heartbeat LED stays OFF for 3 sec before indicating the firmware version. The LED pulses the major, minor, and micro digits of the firmware version, with a 1 sec pause after each digit. The following is an example: The version 1.4.3 would be shown as LED flashes:
