Area configurations
Link multiple areas to a shared area such as a lobby or
common entryway. The shared area then automatically
turns On (arms) when all associate areas are armed
and turns Off (disarms) when any one associate area
is disarmed. For higher security applications, the Area
Re-Arm feature guarantees that areas are always
rearmed, and are disarmed for no longer than a
specific, configurable, amount of time (for example,
service time).
Custom functions
For added convenience, the installer can program
custom functions that allow customers to complete
complex tasks with one simple action. For example, a
custom function can bypass a group of points and arm
the system, allowing the user to perform these
functions with one easy command. Users can activate
custom functions with a keypad, keyfob, token, or
card, or the control panel can activate a function in
reaction to a faulted point, or automatically through a
scheduled event (SKED).
Passcode security
• Two-man rule. Requires two people with two unique
passcodes to be present at the time of opening.
• Early ambush. Allows users to verify that the facility is
safe by requiring two passcodes. The control panel
sends a duress event if the user does not enter the
passcode a second time after inspecting the
premises.
• Dual authentication. Requires two forms of
identification before processing certain system
commands, including turning off the system and
opening doors. A standard system user must have a
passcode, a credential (token or card), and
appropriate command authority permissions.
Door control
Using the B901 Access Control Module or D9210C
Access Control Interface Module, the control panel
provides a fully supervised access control solution.
The solution offers 14 programmable levels of access
authority. Authority for door access is controlled by
the user level, the group of the user, the time of day,
the door state, and the area armed (On/Off) state.
Easy exit control
The control panel changes from one On (armed) state
to another without turning off (disarming) the system.
For example, if you change the state from Part On
(Perimeter Arm) to All On (Master Arm), the control
panel complies and reports the change. Easy exit
control reduces the number of keystrokes, simplifying
system operation.
Programmable passcode-controlled menu list
Passcode-controlled shortcuts provide users only with
the options and information pertinent to them,
simplifying system operation.
Flexible control
The system provides the flexibility to choose added
convenience or high security. For example, you can
restrict to a keypad's immediate local area turning on
(arming) and turning off (disarming) the system with a
passcode, even if the user has access to other areas.
This is particularly useful for high security areas,

where a user may have access to the area, but would
prefer to only turn off (disarm) the area individually
rather than with the rest of the system.
Monitor Delay/Delayed Response
Create a special point profile that delays the reaction
of a point for a specified time (up to 1 hour in minutes
and seconds). This delay provides time for the
specified condition to reset before activating any
annunciation. The system can annunciate locally and
send a report, if desired. When the system is armed,
the point can respond like a normal point - providing
dual functionality. Use this feature to ensure that
perimeter doors have not been propped open, or to
monitor critical areas such as computer rooms and
safes, for example.
System users
The system supports up to 2,000 users. Each user can
have a personalized passcode, a wireless keyfob, and
an access credential to control the system. You can
assign passcodes to one of 14 customized authority
levels in each area that can be restricted to operate
only during certain times. You can program a primary
and secondary language for each user and by keypad
(select from English, Chinese, French, Greek,
Hungarian, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, and Spanish).
The keypad changes to the user’s programmed
language when the user enters his passcode or holds
the Help key.
Route groups and destinations
The control panel can send reports to four different
route groups using one primary and up to three
backup destination devices for each route group.
Reporting capabilities
The control panel has flexible communications for
most central station receivers with reporting
capabilities such as:
• Individual point numbers
• Opening or closing reports by user and area number
• Remote programming attempts
• Diagnostic reports
Destination test
It is possible to send test reports to each and all
destinations within each route group.
Communication formats
The control panel sends reports in these formats:
• Contact ID (PSTN)
• Modem4 (PSTN)
• Conettix Modem4
• Conettix ANSI-SIA Contact ID
• ANSI-SIA DC-09
Notice
For premises equipment used in the
communication path, such as routers, use only UL
listed equipment.
IP communication
The control panel can use IP to communicate with a
Conettix D6600 or a Conettix D6100IPv6
communications receiver/gateway. Use one of the
following for IP:
• The on-board Ethernet connection (not applicable to
“E” control panels)
• Ethernet Communication Module: B426
• Plug-in cellular communicator: B440/B441/B442/
B443/B444/B444-A/B444-V
Conettix IP communication provides a secure path that
includes anti-replay/anti-substitution features, and
enhanced security with up to AES 256-bit encryption
(using Cipher Block Chaining (CBC)).
The control panel supports Domain Name System
(DNS) for both remote programming and 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. The
control panel supports both IPv6 and IPv4 networks.
Communication paths
The control panel accommodates up to four separate
phone and four separate network paths to the central
station receiver. When resetting alarms or turning a
system on and off, the user is identified by name and
number.
Personal notification
The control panel can send text messages and emails
for personal notification over Ethernet or using a
cellular communicator. You can configure up to 32
destinations using a combination of cellular phone
numbers and email addresses. The control panel sends
notifications in the user’s programmed primary
language.
Bosch Remote Connect (Cloud)
Remote Connect simplifies connections from RPS, and
the Remote Security Control app, using Bosch Cloud
services. This service creates a secure connection to
the control panel without specific router settings or
the need for a static IP address or DNS.
Notice
The Bosch Remote Connect service is not
available in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa.
Notice
UL and ULC LISTED applications
ANSI-SIA DC-09 format is not available for UL and
ULC LISTED applications.
Firmware updates
Remote firmware updates are available.
A wide variety of input options
Each point:
| B9512G Control Panels
4
• Single 1 kΩ, single 2 kΩ, dual 1 kΩ (1 kΩ + 1 kΩ), and
No EOL (end-of-line) (EOL) resistor options (for onboard and B208 inputs)
• Programmable for Fire, Intrusion, Access, Gas, and
Supervisory devices
• Supports hardwired and wireless devices
• Supports IP cameras by Bosch as point and output
devices
IP camera support
The control panel can integrate directly with Bosch IP
cameras, using them as fully supervised points and
outputs.
Integration of cameras allows the camera’s video
motion detection to activate points on the control
panel. The control panel’s virtual outputs can be
configured to trigger camera actions, including
sending video snapshots via email.
Security and fire detection
The control panel provides eight on-board points, and
up to 591 additional off-board points (depending on
model and expansion interfaces). You can program
individual points to monitor some types of burglar
alarms, fire alarms, and supervision devices.
Event log
The event log stores up to 10192 local and reported
events. The event log includes time, date, event, area,
point, and user. View the event log from a keypad or
use RPS or the Installer Services Portal programming
tool (available in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and
China) to remotely retrieve event information. When
the event log reaches a programmed threshold of
stored events, it can send an optional report to a
receiver.
Scheduled events (SKEDs)
The internal clock and calendar start individually
scheduled events (SKEDs). SKEDs perform several
functions such as turn on or off, relay control, or point
bypassing.
The control panel offers:
• 80 scheduled events with up to 31 different functions
• 32 opening windows and 32 closing windows
• 32 user group windows
• Day-of-week, date-of-month, or holiday only schedules
• 8 holiday schedules of 366 days (leap year)
Dual bus and SDI keypad retrofits
The dual SDI2 device bus design provides greater
installation flexibility, such as bus isolation for
Intrusion and Fire. To use popular SDI keypads (for
example D1255 and D1260), program one of the two
SDI2 buses for SDI operation.
ZONEX and POPEX retrofits
To retrofit legacy Bosch control panels that use ZONEX
and POPEX devices, the control panel is compatible
with the B600 Retrofit (ZONEX) Module. The B600
adds two ZONEX buses to the control panel which can
connect to existing legacy point bus (POPEX) devices
(for example, the D8125).
Programming
Installers can perform limited programming on-site
with a keypad (critical parameters; such as account
IDs, central station and RPS IP addresses and phone
numbers, reporting formats, and more). They can also
do full programming on-site or remotely (attended or
unattended) with RPS. A programmable system
passcode prevents unauthorized remote programming.
Full programming is also possible with the web-based
Installer Services Portal programming tool. The
Installer Services Portal programming tool is available
for panel firmware version 3.06 or higher.
Notice
The Installer Services Portal programming tool is
available in Europe, Middle East, Africa, and
China.
