General installation

Phases of installation

The installation of the RADION system is achieved by following the sequential process as
defined in this chapter. Overall, there are four main phases;
– Planning
– Physical installation of the devices
– System enrollment/configuration
– System testing (walk test, pattern test)
It is essential that these steps or phases are adhered to in the order mentioned above for
proper functionality and operation.
When installing a RADION system, you must plan your installation based on the control panel
and RADION device specifications, and the radio-frequency signal strength (RFSS) between
devices, receivers, and control panels.

Installation considerations

– RADION devices are intended only for indoor, dry applications.
– Mount RADION devices on flat, rigid surfaces. Some devices can be optionally corner

mounted as indicated in the installation instructions.

– Avoid mounting RADION devices in areas with large, metallic objects, electrical panels, or

electric motors. They might reduce the radio-frequency (RF) range of a RADION device.

– Avoid installing the devices where excessive humidity, moisture, or temperatures outside

of the acceptable operating range exist.
– Wire all objects according to their specifications.
– RADION devices use batteries of varying types. When installing batteries, observe safety

and polarity recommendations as indicated in the documentation for those products.

Figure 2.2: Insert for the bill trap

Wall tamper switch installation

RADION transmitter devices contain a feature that activates the wall tamper switch located on
the base of the device. In order to properly install the device, you must consider the following:
– To properly install a device with active wall tamper functionality, insert a screw in the

designated screw slot location.

– Failure to insert a screw into the wall tamper slot prevents the wall tamper feature from

generating a tamper signal when the transmitter is pulled away from a wall.

Magnet cover installation

During the installation of the plastic magnet cover, the cover is not designed to be separated
from the base after the base and cover are snapped together. Damage to the plastics may
occur if separated.

Complete installation

Testing the entire RADION system can only be achieved by performing an area wide test
through the control panel and corresponding keypad(s). This is achieved by performing an
overall service walk test. Refer to your control panel documentation for system-walk, or other
system-wide testing procedures.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Reference Guide 2015.10 | 08 | F.01U.261.834

8 en | General installation RADION receiver SD

To ensure proper operation of the RADION devices, test the basic functionality of the device
locally. Depending on the RADION device to be tested, perform the following procedures for
functionality:
– When testing the receiver, power up the compatible control panel in which the receiver is

connected to and observe the LED behavior on the receiver.
– Local walk testing can be performed on the motion detectors as defined in the tritech

and PIR chapters of this guide.
– Magnet testing can be performed by opening or closing the door/window in which the

magnet is installed on.

2.6

Maintenance

It is recommended to check the battery of each device annually. This will ensure proper
operation and functionality of the devices.

Battery Life Extension feature (PIR and TriTech)

In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmitted only after three (3) minutes have
passed since the previous alarm restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF
transmissions in high traffic areas, thereby extending battery life.

3.3.1

B810 installation

Use the provided anchors and screws to mount the receiver in locations accessible for future
maintenance. Mount the receiver onto a wall.
For best receiver reception results, place the receiver in a central location among the
transmitters. For optimal communication results in situations where there is a long distance
between the transmitting device and the system receiver, it might be necessary to install
repeaters.

Notice!

Mount the receiver in a location away from metal objects. Metal objects (duct work, wire

mesh screens, boxes) reduce RF range.

B810 configuration

RADION Wireless System operates on a radio frequency of 433.42 MHz.

Configuring the address switch

The address switch determines the receivers numeric address value which the receiver will
use to report receiver status information to the control panel. Set the address to the receiver
prior to installation. Address 1 through 4 are valid address settings for the receiver. Use a
slotted screwdriver to set the address switch.

Address settings

The receiver address switches provide a single-digit setting for the receiver’s address. The
receiver uses addresses 1 through 4. Addresses 0 and 5 are invalid and will cause the receiver
to enter into an SDI2 communication error state. This causes the receiver to be unrecognized
by the control panel. The receiver uses Address 9 to reset itself when the keyfob becomes
inoperable. Refer to the Notice below and procedure regarding the synchronization of the
keyfob with the receiver.
Refer to your control panel documentation for information on the valid addresses for that
control panel. The figure below shows the address switch setting for address 1.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Reference Guide 2015.10 | 08 | F.01U.261.834

Figure 3.1: Address switch set to 1

Notice!

Inoperable RADION keyfob

If the RADION keyfob no longer operates as originally programmed, try resetting the receiver.

RF IDs remain active if previously enrolled, and will not have to be re-enrolled when resetting

the receiver.

Failure conditions

The following conditions describe the state of the keyfob when it no longer arms/disarms the
security system:
– The keyfob is correctly programmed in the control panel, and
– The receiver LED flashes when the keyfob is activated, but
– The expected action (arm/disarm) does not occur at the control panel.

Synchronizing the keyfob with the receiver

Perform the following steps to reset the receiver and restore arming/disarming functionality
for the keyfob.
Resetting the receiver:

1. Power off the receiver (or remove the receiver from its base).

2. Set the receiver address switch to 9.

3. Power on the receiver (or re-attach the receiver to its base).

4. LED indicates the firmware version. The LED turns on steady for a short time to reset the
receiver, and then turns off. Replace the receiver if the LED continues to flash.

5. Power off the receiver (or remove the receiver from its base).

6. Set the receiver address switch back to the original address setting.

7. Power on the receiver (or re-attach the receiver to its base).

8. Your system is ready for normal operation.

3.3.2

Base mounting installation

Some consideration and planning are required when locating a position to mount the base of
the receiver onto the desired surface. The base must be mounted in such a way that provides
plenty of accessible space to insert a flat-headed screwdriver, and remove the receiver cover
when maintenance and troubleshooting scenarios occur.
Because of the location of the opening mechanism on the side of the device, you will need
approximately 254 mm (10 in) of clearance on one side of the base to provide easy access to
the opening mechanism, and approximately 15 mm (0.6 in) of clearance on the opposite side
to compensate for the physical dimensions of the device cover. This should allow for adequate
space in which the device cover can be opened, and the cover removed, should the need
arise.
Other mounting considerations include;
– Minimum clearance above the location to compensate for the vertical sliding movement

to attach or remove the device from the base is: >30 mm (1.2 in).

Programming wireless points in the control panel

After completing the physical installation of the RADION system, you must configure the
RADION points in order to establish communication between the RADION system and the
supported control panel. This can be accomplished by using one of two methods:
– Using Remote Programming Software (RPS) on a supported laptop computer, or
– Compatible keypad devices to enable your points
A “point” can be a detection device, or a group of devices connected to your security system.

en | RADION receiver SD RADION receiver SD

16

The first step to enable communication is to verify that the RADION transmitter is
programmed into the supporting control panel. This is achieved by configuring a point source
index as wireless.
RFID programming from a supported keypad is achieved by two methods;
– Through the point source/RFID menu options, or
– Enroll point RFID for wireless points – which uses the “Auto-Learn” methodology.
The preferred method of entering in the RFID number would be to enter it in manually via the
keypad – point source/RFID, or RPS. Doing so gives you greater control and security, while
reducing the risk of incomplete RFID programming.
Not every scenario can be documented regarding various supporting panels and keypads. The
workflow listed below is a generic representation of the programming/enablement process.
Refer to the Points Menu Parameters section inside the Keypad Installer Menu chapter of the

B5512/B4512 and/or D9412GV4/D7412GV4 v2.xx Series Installation and System Reference
Guides, or Points – Point Assignments in RPS Help File for more information.

Point source/RFID programming

A point’s source gives a description as to the physical location of the point for installation and
service personnel. Perform the following to program a source:

1. Using either RPS, or a supported keypad, access the Program Menu, and select the
Points menu option.

2. Select the Source menu option

3. Select the point source of the device you are programming.

4. Change the point source to the “wireless” option.

5. Save changes.

6. Select the RFID menu option to edit the RFID of each RADION device.

7. Manually enter in the unique RFID as it appears on the RFID sticker in the illustration
below. ID’s beginning with a zero may not display in the keypad UI, or RPS

8. Save changes and exit the menu.

The control panel is now enabled to receive wireless communication information from the
RADION transmitter.

2015.10 | 08 | F.01U.261.834 Reference Guide Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

RADION receiver SD RADION receiver SD | en 17

Point indexes

Point indexes determine how points operate/respond to circumstances within a system.
Perform the following to program a point:

1. Using either RPS, or a supported keypad, access the Program Menu, and select the
Points menu option.

2. Select the point source of the device you are programming and select the wireless device
type. Ensure that it matches that of the physical device you are enrolling.

3. Assign the desired attributes of the point index (how the device will respond to various
circumstances).

4. Save changes and exit the menu.

Signal strength test (for repeaters)

Use the following procedure to test the frequency strength and range of the RADION system.

1. From the keypad, access the Wireless Menu, and select the Diagnostics menu option.

2. Select the RF Repeaters menu option.

3. Select the Signal menu option and choose the desired repeater. Various sub-categories
display including:
– Signal Strength
– Level
– Margin

4. When finished, exit the menu.

3.3.5

Enroll point RF ID for wireless points (Auto-learn mode)

A second option exists whereby new devices are discovered on the system. This option is
referred to as the “Auto Learn Mode” option. Auto Learn Mode is the process through which
the control panel identifies and enrolls new device RF ID’s that appear within the system. This
is achieved by the following:
– Keyfobs – when the keyfob buttons are pressed, then released.
– Motion detectors – when the battery is inserted, or if coverage pattern is disturbed by

someone walking through the coverage pattern field.

Notice!

The Auto Learn mode option is not recommended as the preferred method of entering in the

RF ID’s due to the potential of the RADION system picking up the first available RF ID it

detects. For optimal results, manually enter in the RF ID’s through the supported keypad, or

via RPS.

Enrolling a wireless point RF ID

Using a supported keypad, enroll the RF ID through the Wireless menu option. Use the
Wireless menu to add, replace, remove, and diagnose points and repeaters.
Perform the following to enroll in the RF ID:

1. From the keypad, access the Wireless Menu, and select the Points menu option. If
adding a repeater, select the Repeater menu option.

2. Select the option for enrolling a point RFID.

3. When asked, select the point source you are enrolling).

4. Initiate activity for the desired device (walk through the coverage pattern if enrolling a
motion detector, or press the button on the keyfob if enrolling a keyfob, open the door or
window if enrolling a contact). By doing so, the control panel recognizes the first RFID it
comes in contact with.

5. When the keypad or RPS shows Point Enrolled, exit out of the application.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Reference Guide 2015.10 | 08 | F.01U.261.834

Motion walk test

Remove and replace cover to activate a 90-sec Walk Test Mode. During this Test Mode, any
activity in the sensor’s coverage pattern will cause a transmitted alarm and LED activation.
Each alarm will also extend the Test Mode for an additional 90-sec. Walk Testing should be
done across the coverage pattern. The edge of the coverage pattern is determined by the first
flash of the LED. This may change slightly depending upon the sensitivity setting. Walk Test
the unit from both directions to determine the pattern boundaries. Although generally not
required, if masking is desired, the lens diagram shows the appropriate areas to be masked.
Use an opaque material (such as, electrical tape) to mask the desired areas.

Final test

While the detector is in the Walk Test Mode, turn on all heating and air conditioning sources
which would normally be active during the protection period. Stand away from the sensor and
outside the coverage pattern and watch for alarms. After setup and tests are completed, and
there has been no activity in the sensor’s coverage pattern for approximately 90-sec, the LED
will flash to indicate that the Walk Test mode is ending.

Maintenance

At least once a year, a walk test should be performed to verify the range and coverage for
proper operation.

Magnet walk test

Perform a magnet test to ensure proper functionality of the door and window contacts.
Magnet testing can be performed by opening or closing the door/window in which the magnet
is installed. In this test, you are verifying the distances of which the magnet engages and
disengages the transmitter.

Signal level and margin

The signal level and margin (ambient signal) of the RADION system is dependant on the
location in which the B810 receiver and transmitters communicating with it are installed.
Installing the receiver in an environment that has a lot of radio transmitter communication or
other exterior disturbances, may reduce the receiver signal strength and margin signal of the
B810 receiver.
Signal Level is a measure of how loudly a RADION receiver is hearing a message from a
RADION transmitter; this value is displayed as a percentage with a range of 0% - 99%.
Signal Margin is a measure of how well a RADION receiver is hearing a message from a
RADION transmitter given the current ambient noise levels, or ‘white noise’ at the receiver.
This value is displayed as a percentage with a range of 0% - 99%.

The concept of signal margin can be related to two people conversing in a room; when the
room is quiet they hear each other clearly and the “signal margin” would be very high. In a
noisy room they would not be able to hear each other as clearly and the “signal margin” would
be much lower. When the signal margin is low enough conversation is no longer possible.
The RADION receiver will continually monitor the signal level of every system transmitter and
report an interference trouble (sometimes called Jamming) if the signal margin of a
transmitter is reduced to the point where communications may be lost.
To ensure reliable system communications, the signal level and margin of every transmitter,
including repeaters, should be tested and verified to be reporting “good” at the time of
installation and in the unlikely event of a interference trouble report.

External LED states

The receiver utilizes the External LED to show various states of the receiver. These states fall
into the following three categories:
– Normal State
– Communication Error State
– Trouble State
– Maintenance state
– Off state

Normal state:

The receiver enters a normal state when it has passed all power self-tests and has established
a communication link with the control panel . The receiver remains in this state as long as the
communication link is present, and no other issues are present that would prevent the
receiver from operating in a normal condition.

Flash 3 times Indicates the receiver has obtained a new

device ID while in “Learn Mode.”

Communication error state:

The receiver enters a communication error state when, during power up, it does not establish
a link with the control panel, or has been in an idle state for more than 30 sec without
communication. Another cause for a communication error state is an invalid address switch
setting (0, or 9).

LED condition

3-pulse flash: A 3-pulse signal, followed by a
short delay at the end of the 3rd pulse
(Communication error)

Trouble state:

The receiver enters a trouble state when an internal self-test detects a failure. Another cause
for the receiver entering into a trouble state would be if the receiver detects radio frequency
interference failure.

State description

Indicates the receiver has experienced a
communication failure. This error could be a
result of either:
– A communication failure between the

control panel and receiver, or

– An invalid address switch setting

5.2

Notice!

Glassbreak detectors are intended only as a component of a perimeter protection system.

Use glassbreak detectors in conjunction with motion detectors.

Testing

Test the detector at least once yearly. Use the Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester to enter the
sensor into test mode and to test the alarm.

Test the sensor alarm

To test the sensor functionality, enter the detector into test mode. In normal mode, the sensor
does not generate an alarm on sound signals from the tester unless the tester is held next to
the sensor.
Each time the sensor alarms, it also goes into test mode for one minute.
Initiating test mode with the Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester:

1. Set the tester for tempered or laminated glass, unless the protected glass is plate glass.

2. Hold the tester on top of the detector.

3. Activate the tester. The detector alarms and goes into test mode for one minute. During

test mode, the LED blinks continuously. To extend test time, activate the tester within the

range of the sensor at least once each minute.
Performing the alarm test with Sentrol 5709C hand-held tester:

1. Hold the tester near the surface of the glass to be protected and aim the speaker at the

sensor. Be sure the tester is at the point on the glass farthest from the detector.

Notice!

If blinds or drapes are present, test the area by holding the hand-held tester behind the

closed blinds or drapes.

2015.10 | 08 | F.01U.261.834 Reference Guide Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

RADION receiver SD RADION glassbreak | en 29

2. Press the test button on the tester. The LED on the detector stays on for 4 seconds to
indicate the glass is within detection range of the sensor. If the LED does not stay in a
solid state momentarily, but continues to blink, adjust the positioning of the detector so
that it is closer to the window, and re-test. Check the battery strength of the hand-held
testing device before the test.

5.3

Figure 5.1: Testing behind curtains

The detector switches from test mode to normal mode after at least 1 minute of silence from
the hand-held tester.

Notice!

When the detector is in normal mode, the LED is off unless a loud sound is detected.

Room acoustics can artificially extend the range of a glassbreak sensor. The specified sensor
range is for worst-case conditions. While the sensor likely functions at a greater range, it might
not detect a low volume breaking sound, or room acoustics might change at a later point in
time. Do not exceed the rated range of the sensor, regardless of what the tester shows.

Test the sensor operability

When the detector is in normal mode, the LED is off unless a loud sound is detected.
Therefore, to ensure the glassbreak has power and that the microphone is functional, perform
a simple hand clap test.
To perform a hand clap test, simply clap your hard loudly under the sensor. Verify the LED
blinks twice.

Low battery

When a low battery state is detected, the detector measures the battery, and sends a report
to the receiver/control panel.

Sensitivity settings

Standard sensitivity

Use this setting when pets are present in the monitored area. Standard sensitivity provides
excellent detection performance and is the least sensitive to false alarms.

Intermediate sensitivity

Only use this setting in non-pet installations with minimal environmental disturbances.
Intermediate sensitivity provides the highest level of detection performance.

Walk testing

Notice!

To maximize battery life, the LED elements do not activate unless the unit is in the Walk Test

mode.

Perform a walk test to determine the boundaries of the coverage area. Perform this test at the
time of installation and monthly thereafter. To ensure continual daily operation, instruct the
end user to walk through the far end of the coverage pattern. This ensures an alarm output
prior to arming the system.
Start Walk Test mode from the detector. Insert a slotted screwdriver to open the detector
cover and then close the detector cover to start a 90-sec Walk Test mode.

Notice!

In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmitted only after three (3) minutes have

passed since the previous alarm restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF

transmissions in high traffic areas, thereby extending battery life.

During this test mode, motion detected within the detector’s coverage area causes a
transmitted alarm and LED activation. Each alarm will also extend the Test Mode. Watch for
the green LED to indicate the edges of the Microwave pattern. Adjust as necessary.

Insert a slotted screwdriver into the designated hole to open the cover and then close the
detector cover to start a 90-sec Walk Test mode.
During this test mode, motion detected within the detector’s coverage area causes a
transmitted alarm and LED activation. Each alarm will also extend the Test Mode. Adjust as
necessary.

Notice!

Excessive use of the Walk Test Mode may reduce battery life. Use only for initial setup and

maintenance testing.

Notice!

In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmitted only after three (3) minutes have

passed since the previous alarm restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF

transmissions in high traffic areas, thereby extending battery life.

Installation considerations

You have a variety of installation options to consider when installing the device. You must
acknowledge the unique installation approach prior to installation. Some installation
considerations include:
– Suitable surfaces for installation include wood, steel, and aluminum.
– The location of the magnet and transmitter in relationship to the door/window frame

dimensions. Verify you have proper clearance with the latch of the window or door you
are installing the device onto. Failure to do so will make it extremely difficult to access
and open the device for maintenance purposes.

– In some cases, you might need an additional spacer when installing the transmitter and

magnet in the corner of a recessed door or window frame to close the gap in height
between the magnet and transmitter.

– For additional security, you can use an adhesive with the screws to secure the

transmitters and magnets during installation.

– When installing the magnet, verify that the notches in the magnet base, line up with the

notches in the transmitter base, otherwise the magnet and transmitter do not function
effectively.

RADION specialty

RFBT-A is a designed transmitter (bill trap) specifically used in financial or retail environments.
It transmits a silent, wireless alarm signal without local notification (no LED activation) when a
bill, or any other form of paper currency is removed from the transmitter – typically, the last
bill in the bottom of a cash drawer.
Features include:
– Brief illumination of LED to signify armed and operational status
– Wall tamper alarm when removed from the cash drawer.

Applications for this product

Usage of this product is to provide concealed protection against theft in a financial institution
such as a bank, or in other commercial environments such as retail businesses and shops. In
some cases, the cash drawer is removed from the teller or cashier station, and stored inside a
bank vault at the close of each business day. In this scenario, the bank vault system is always
armed, and the bill trap remains in a non-faulted condition. It is recommended to use the 3M
double sided tape when inserting into the cash drawer.
In other occasions, the bill trap itself may be removed from the cash drawer at the end of a
workers shift. In this situation, the bill trap unit will generate a tamper condition upon
removal. In this type of application, it is important that the system must be configured such
that the tamper does not generate a silent alarm. For this occasion, the hook and loop may be
a more suitable mounting technique.

Installation consideration

During the installation process, use the self-adhesive Velcro strips located on the bottom of
the bill trap base, to secure and stabilize the bill trap in the cash drawer. This is achieved by
performing the following:

1. Separate the Velcro strips from one another.

2. Peel off the protective backing of the Velcro strips.

3. Press the two bottom sections of the Velcro onto the bottom of the cash drawer, in the
desired location.

4. Line up and press down on the bill trap so that the Velcro on the bottom of the bill trap is
aligned with the Velcro strips inside the cash drawer.

Warning!

It is important to check the Velcro strips on a weekly basis for wear and replace when

appropriate in order to prevent potential false alarms.
