The B9512G Control Panel and the B8512G Control Panel are the new premier commercial control panels from Bosch. B9512G control panels integrate intrusion, fire, and access control providing one simple user interface for all systems.

With the ability to adapt to large and small applications, the B9512G provides up to 599 individually identified points that can be split into 32 areas.

The control panel can communicate through its built-in Ethernet port (not applicable to “E” control panels), or through compatible plug-in modules that can send events over the public switched telephone network (PSTN) or over cellular network communications.

For users, programmable keypad shortcuts, situation sensitive on-screen help, and a bilingual user interface make system operation simple and easy.

With the B9512G Control Panel, you can:

uFully integrated intrusion, fire, and access control allows users to interface with one system instead of three

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

UL and ULC LISTED applications

ANSI-SIA DC-09 format is not available for UL and ULC LISTED applications.

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.

Firmware updates

Remote firmware updates are available.

A wide variety of input options

Each point:

4 | B9512G Control Panels

•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.
