B465 Universal Dual Path Communicator
www.boschsecurity.com
u Compatible with any control panel using Contact ID,
SIA, Pulse 3/1 or Pulse 4/2 communication formats
(auto detecting)
u No control panel reprogramming required to install
The B465 Conettix Universal Dual Path Communicator
converts the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN)
digital dialer, or dry contact outputs from an intrusion/
fire control panel to an IP signal for transmission over
the Ethernet or cellular network. The B465 Conettix
Universal Dual Path Communicator is UL 864 10
th
Edition approved per NFPA 72 version 2013.
The module can use its built-in Ethernet connection,
and/or an optional Conettix plug-in cellular module
(B440/B441/B442/B443) to send reports to the
central station receiver.
Automation programming for the supported control
panel remains unchanged with the installation of the
B465 module, thus simplifying the installation process
This allows for a smooth transition from the PSTN
realm into IP. All messages generated internally by the
B465 are shown in Contact ID format at the central
station.
The module can be powered from a 16.5 VAC
transformer or 24 VDC power supply.
u Supports Ethernet directly and optional plug-in
cellular communication technologies in single, or
multi-path configurations
u Supports four configurable inputs and three
configurable outputs
u Approved for Commercial Fire/Burglary applications
as sole, primary, or secondary communication path
System overview
The B465 simulates dial tone and line voltages when
the digital dialer has a report to send. The module
simulates a PSTN connection to the central station.
The module decodes the control panel’s PSTN dialer
report and sends the decoded reports by IP
connection using Bosch’s Conettix Protocol to the
Conettix D6600, D6100IPv6, or D6100i
Communication Gateway/Receiver (referred to as the
receiver). When the receiver acknowledges receipt of
the message, it sends an acknowledgement report to
the module which in turn sends an acknowledgement
to the connected control panel. This process maintains
true end-to-end security.

Functions
PSTN inputs (2)
When the control panel’s PSTN dialer sends a
message, the module simulates a PSTN connection to
the central station. The module connects to the host
control panel through either one or both of the Phone
Line inputs. Both Panel Line 1 and Panel Line 2 of the
module run 28 VDC and support Contact ID (4 and 10
digit account codes), Pulse 3/1, Pulse 4/2, and SIA
communication formats. The B465 is setup to auto
detect the communication format which eliminates
programming steps.
IP Communication options
The module uses the on-board Ethernet connector,
and/or optional B440 Conettix Plug-in Communicator,
Cellular (3G), B441 Conettix Plug-in CDMA Cellular
Communicator, B442 Conettix Plug-in GPRS Cellular
Communicator, or B443 Conettix Plug-in HSPA+
Cellular Communicator to communicate with a
Conettix D6600, Conettix D6100i or a Conettix
D6100IPv6 Communications Receiver/Gateway. Using
Conettix IP communication protocol offers a secure
path that includes anti-replay/anti-substitution
features and provides enhanced security with up to
AES 256-bit encryption.
The module supports Domain Name System (DNS) for
central station communication. DNS provides ease of
use, eliminating the need to use static IP addresses as
your reporting destination, and accommodates a
simple solution for central station disaster recovery.
Direct wire inputs
The B465 provides four on-board inputs. Each input
functions independently and does not interfere with
the operation of the others. The module monitors the
input loops for normal, shorted, or open conditions
between an input terminal and any of the input
common terminals. Inputs are disabled by default so
no EOL resistors are required until activated.
These four inputs on the B465 connect to dry contact
outputs on the control panel and generate Contact ID
reports instead of using a phone line connection/or in
addition to using the control panel phone connection.
The available functions are:
• Panel System Trouble
• Panel AC Fail
• Panel Battery Trouble
• Fire Alarm
• Fire Trouble
• Burg Alarm
• Burg Trouble
• Fire Supervisory
Each input allows the use of dry contacts or powered
outputs up to 30 VDC if needed. The inputs use 2.2K
EOLs to monitor the dry contact outputs when
connected to dry contacts. The inputs recognize the
following thresholds when using dry contacts: 2.0 to
3.0 VDC = Normal, 3.7 to 5.0 VDC = Open, 0.0 to 1.3
VDC = Short.
Outputs
Includes three programmable output relays rated at 30
VDC, 0.1 A. These outputs can be used to show the
status of the B465 or they can be connected to the
control panel zone inputs for reporting B465 system
faults. The three outputs consist of RELAY 1, RELAY 2,
and RELAY 3.
• RELAY 1 is active (energized) once the B465 is
running. If the B465 detect a problem or loses power,
RELAY 1 de-energizes, which can be used to indicate
a system trouble on the local control panel's zone
inputs, if required. Depending on the configuration
required to create a system trouble on the control
panel, the installer needs to use either the NO and
COM or the NC and COM connections. Refer to the
control panel manual for the required zone
configuration to obtain the proper input response.
• RELAY 2 is a normally open (NO) relay with contacts
that close when the desired function programmed is
detected.
• RELAY 3 is a normally open (NO) relay with contacts
that close when the desired function programmed is
detected.
