Introduction
Your security system helps to secure life, property, and
investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The
D1265 Touchscreen Keypad is an SDI compatible
device that works with GV2/GV3 Series Control
Panels. Each keypad has an illuminated touchscreen to
display system messages and graphics buttons for data
or command entry, and a sounder that emits eight
warning tones.
Your Keypad
The D1265 keypad uses up to four rows of 20
characters each to display system messages and
graphical buttons used to select a menu and associated
functions. In addition to system messages and buttons,
the keypad shows, as needed, ten numerical buttons (0
to 9) and two function buttons (CMD and ENTER).
Use the CMD button in combination with numeric
buttons to perform a function. Use the ENTER button
to enter your passcode.
When several events occur, the keypad shows each
event in order of priority.

Points
What is a Point
A “point” is a detection device, or group of devices
connected to your security system. Points display
individually at the keypad with custom text. The text
can describe a single door, motion sensor, smoke
detector, or an area such as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE.
There are two basic types of points, controlled and
24-hour.
Controlled Points
Controlled points respond to alarm conditions
depending upon whether the system is turned on
(armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are
programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions
or to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and
disarm the system.
Use the CMD button in combination with one or two numeric buttons to perform
a function.
The ENTER button is used to complete the entry of your passcode at the keypad.
Whenever a function requires that you enter your passcode at the keypad, first
press the digits of the code and then press the ENTER button. Your system will
not recognize your passcode until you press ENTER.
When the Exit button appears in the keypad display, pressing it brings you one
level up in the function or exits you from the function you are in. These functions
might be shown on either side of the display.
When viewing a list, pressing the Previous button takes you back to the
previously shown item.
Press the Next button to pass over the present item(s) in a menu or function.
The type of alarm appears before the point text when
there is an alarm. There are two types of controlled
points, perimeter points and interior points.
Perimeter Points
These points usually include all exterior doors and
windows of the building.
Interior Points
These points usually include interior forms of burglary
detection devices, such as motion sensors, or inside
doors, for example.
24-Hour Points
24-hour points are always on, even when the burglary
system is disarmed (turned off). There are two types of
24-hour points, fire points and non-fire points.
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. | 9/10 | F01U169130-02 7
D1265 | Owner's Manual | Part I: Security System Basics
Fire Points
Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices.
They are always armed and cannot be disarmed. You
can clearly distinguish fire points from other non-fire
points at the keypad.
When there is a fire alarm, the display shows the
following:
*FIRE ALARM* is shown on the first line, text
identifying the point as a fire point is shown on the
second line, and instructions for silencing the alarm are
shown on the third and fourth lines.
Fire alarms have a unique audible warning signal.
Non-Fire Points
Non-fire 24-hour points are always armed and cannot
be disarmed.

View Faulted or Bypassed Points
To properly arm your system, all the exterior points
(doors and windows) and interior points (motion
sensors, inside doors, and so on) in the system must be
in the normal (not faulted) condition. Viewing the
faulted points helps you find faulted points (such as
doors or windows that are left open) and correct them
so proper arming is possible.
Your keypad offers a way of displaying faulted and
bypassed point information.
To Scroll Faulted or Bypassed Points
1. Ensure your keypad shows idle text.
2. Press the View Points button to show the first
faulted point.
3. Press the Next button or the Previous button
repeatedly to show the faulted and bypassed
point information.
4. If faulted or bypassed points in other areas exist,
then the display indicates the Area number and
the number of faulted/bypassed points before
returning to idle text.
5. If there are no faulted or bypassed points in
other areas, the display returns to idle text.
Warning Displays and Tones
Your keypad emits one of several distinct tones and
displays custom text to alert you to system events.
Additional bells or sirens might also be connected to
your system. Bells or sirens mounted on the exterior of
your premises alert neighbors to emergencies and
provide an audible guide for police and fire fighters.
Keypad Quiets for Button presses
Pressing any button on the keypad quiets any warning
tones. If you don’t press another button within 7 sec,
the warning tones resume.
Priority of Events
If more than one event occurs, your system sorts them
into one of four groups. The groups (highest priority
first) are:
1. Fire Alarms
2. Burglary Alarms
3. Fire Troubles and Fire Supervisory conditions
4. Non-Fire Troubles and Non-Fire Supervisory
conditions
The group with the highest priority scrolls first in the
keypad’s display. Descriptions of the tones and
displays for each group and instructions for silencing
the tones are included in the descriptions that follow.

(for example, SMOKE DETECTOR), in the order of
occurrence.
If there is more than one point causing an alarm, the
display shows each point for 3 sec before showing the
next one.
When the last alarm is shown, the next display is the
first alarm.
Your system might be programmed so that you cannot
silence some fire alarms until the fire event clears.
The *Alarm Silenced* message continues to alternate
with idle text as a reminder that it is still possible to

How Your System Reports Alarms
Your security system might be programmed to
automatically seize your telephones when sending
reports to your security company. Once the report is
completed, your security system restores the telephone
line to normal operation (check with your security
company). Other methods of communicating alarm
conditions are also available. Please consult your
security company for services available in your area.
Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports
to your security company.
In the event your security system fails to communicate,
the keypad sounds a Trouble Tone and shows Comm Fail Route Grp1 (where the Route Group can be 1, 2,
3, or 4):
Notify your security company of the communications
failure.
If your system uses telephone lines as its
means of communication and telephone
service is interrupted, your security

Turning On the System (Arming) With a
Duress Passcode
Your passcode might have a special duress feature that
can be your personal passcode with its last digit
increased by one or two digits. Alternately, some
systems might have a specific passcode designated as
the Duress disarm passcode. Consult your security
company for your security system’s configured duress
option.
For example, if your passcode is 1234, your duress
passcode might be 1235 or 1236.
If an intruder demands that you arm or disarm the
security system, you can use your duress passcode. The
duress passcode arms or disarms the system and sends
a duress report to your security company. There is no
alarm tone or visual indication at the premises that the
report is sent. Check with your security company
before attempting to use this feature.

and sounders (both interior and exterior) to be certain
they function properly. You can review untested points
at your keypad to help pinpoint any problems.
You cannot arm your system while in the walk test
mode, and no alarm reports are sent to your security
company unless a 24-hour point is activated (such as
fire or panic). A Walk Test Start Report might be
programmed to be sent to your security company.
Upon initiation, the walk test tests the burglary bell
pattern on the bell output and ring the keypad
burglary bell for 2 sec. The AC is disabled for 4
minutes in order to test the system’s battery power. If
