Safety

ESD Precaution

Please note that while the B450 comes in a plastic case, and is protected from ESD, the plug­in cellular communicator (B44x) does not. All plug-in cellular communicator components may
potentially be exposed to finger touches - therefore extra attention must be paid to ESD
(electrostatic discharge) precaution. Make sure there is no static interference when using the
board. Appropriate ESD protections must be taken and wearing electrostatic equipment is
recommended, such as anti-static wrist strap.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure.
Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

Warning!

Failure to follow these instructions can result in a failure to initiate alarm conditions. Bosch

Security Systems, Inc. is not responsible for improperly installed, tested, or maintained

devices. Follow these instructions to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment.

Notice!

Inform the operator and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before installing the

module in an existing system.

Disconnect all power to the control panel before installing the module.

Module overview

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

The B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface bus address switch determines the bus
address of the device. When required, configuration of the module is managed through the
control panel, a local USB connection, or using SMS.

Bus address settings overview

The address switch determines the bus address for the B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator
Interface. The control panel uses the address for communications. Use a slotted screwdriver
to set the address switch.

Notice!

The B450 reads the bus 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 bus address setting to be used for bus communication.

Bus address label

Use the bus address label to select the desired setting on the bus address switch, depending
on your control panel.

Mount the module in the enclosure

Notice!

If you are not using the interconnect cable, it is recommended to wire the B450 module to

the compatible control panel via the terminal strip prior to mounting the B450 into the

enclosure. Failure to do so will complicate the mounting procedure.

Mount the B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface using the interior wall of the
enclosure’s 3-hole mounting pattern and the supplied mounting screws.

Notice!

UL requirement

Mount the module in the control panel enclosure, or in a UL listed enclosure. For Commercial

Burglary applications, house all communicators in tampered enclosures.

All communicators shall be housed in tampered enclosures. If the unit is used in a commercial
burglar environment, and is enclosed in a commercial enclosure, that enclosure must be
tampered.
If the installation is a local or police station connection, then the B450 must be mounted
inside an attack resistant enclosure.

Installing in a control panel enclosure

Install the B450 on the inside enclosure wall that also contains the supported control panel.
The control panel powers the B450 via the terminal block or bus connection.

Installing in a separate enclosure

Install the B450 on the inside wall of a separate enclosure. The control panel in a nearby,
separate enclosure powers the B450 via the terminal block or bus connection.

Installing in a separate enclosure with separate power supply

Install the B450 on the inside wall of a separate enclosure that also has a separate external
power supply such as the B520 Auxiliary Power Supply Module.

Mount and wire the tamper switch (option for SDI2 bus only)

When the tamper input 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.

You can connect an enclosure door tamper switch for one module in an enclosure.
Installing the optional tamper switch for use with a B450:

1. Mount the tamper switch into the enclosure’s tamper switch mounting location.

2. Plug the tamper switch wire onto the module’s tamper switch connector. For the tamper
switch connector location, refer to Module overview, page 7.

3. Verify the B450 module is configured with tamper enabled ON within the SDI2 supported
control panel.

Install and mount the plug-in communicator antenna

Installing and mounting the magnetic antenna:

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

Notice!

If you are experiencing a weak signal, place the antenna on top of a metal surface that has a

radius of 10.16 cm (4 in) for optimal performance.

2. Route the antenna cable through a knock-out in the enclosure wall.

3. Connect the antenna cable to the module.

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

5. Secure the extra antenna cable length inside the enclosure.

Notice!

When wiring the connections between the option bus terminal strip and the B450, verify the

terminal position of the colored wires as they may be in a different orientation (option bus =

R, B, G, and Y) and (B450 = R, Y, G, and B).

Configuration

Notice!

Power up the system prior to the configuration workflows described in this chapter.

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

Configuration for SDI2 control panels

Perform the following to configure the B450 to supporting SDI2 control panels.

Notice!

By default, when connecting a field replacement B450 to an existing SDI2 control panel, the

control panel overrides some of the module settings such as; TCP/UDP Port Number, AES

Encryption, Tamper, Panel Programming, IPv4 DNS Server IP Address, Alternate IPv4 DNS

Server IP Address, and TCP Keep Alive Time. To keep custom module settings when you

connect a module to a configured control panel, you must disable Panel Programming prior to

connecting to the SDI2 bus. This is accomplished by using either USB, or SMS configuration.

If the SDI2 control panel is not defaulted, the control panel sends the network configuration

parameters to the B450.

Address-only configuration conditions

An SDI2 control panel automatically configures a newly connected module.

1. If the control panel is not at factory default, it transfers the configuration settings in the
control panel to the B450.

2. Verify that the address switch is set to the correct address for the control panel (SDI2
control panels use address 1 or 2). If the switch is not set to the correct address, power
down the system, set the correct address, and then power up the system.

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

The control panel stores the module settings and automatically programs a defaulted module
when connected. If manual module programming is required, use USB or SMS configuration to
set the Panel Programming parameter to Disabled before installing.

Configuring and viewing status from RPS

Configuration

For SDI2 control panels, the networking related parameters in the Networking parameters in
RPS table can be configured through the panel or RPS. When cellular specific parameters need

to be modified, refer to the USB or SMS configuration sections within this installation and
operation guide for programming workflows and operation.

The B450 parameters within RPS can be found under the SDI2 Modules section. Refer to the
chart below for RPS selections:
