These instructions cover the installation and
programming of Bosch D9068 Digital Alarm
Communicator Transmitter (DACT) for use with Bosch
D8024 and D10024 Analog Fire Alarm Control Panels
(FACPs).
Install, test, and maintain the D9068, D8024, and
D10024 according to these instructions, instructions that
accompany the DACT and FACPs, NFPA 72, local
codes, and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ).
Failure to follow these instructions can cause the device
to fail.
Bosch is not responsible for improperly installed, tested,
or maintained devices.
For instructions on installing, programming, and
operating the D9068, refer to the D9068 Operation andInstallation Guide (P/N: 45386). For instructions on
installing, programming, and operating the D8024 and
D10024, refer to:
The D9068 DACT draws a maximum of 192 mA. The FACP can provide up to 320 mA. Verify the total
draw on the FACP 24 V auxiliary power is less than 320 mA.

1.2D9068 to D9052 Serial Connections
Use the D9068 DACT with the D8024 FACP and the D10024 FACP to send reports to a central station. You must
use a D9052 RS-232 Bus Module between the FACP and the D9068. Assign the FACP network Address 1. Refer to
Section 2.1 Setting the FACP’s Network Address (page 6) for instructions.
1.Install the D9052 on the D8024 Port C.
The D8024 cannot support the D9068 and a network connection simultaneously through Port C.
2. Connect the D9052 to the D10024 Port B.
Refer to the D9052 Installation Guide (P/N: 34096) for instructions on installing, addressing, and operating the
D9052 FACP.

1.3D9068 to FACP Relay Connections (Optional)
Use the D9068’s five inputs as back-up connections to an FACP. The D8024 and D10024 each provide two on-board
relays. Additional relay outputs can be added to the FACP using the D328A Addressable Analog Relay Modules.
Install and configure the relays to activate only for the specified FACP events. For additional information, refer to:
•D8024/D9024/D10024 Programming Guide (P/N: 38789) for FACP relay programming instructions
•D9068 Operation and Installation Guide (P/N: 45386) for D9068 detailed relay wiring instructions
•D328A Installation Instructions (P/N: 37095) for D328A wiring, addressing, and operating instructions

To access the D9068’s input point configuration from the D7033 keypad:
1.Press [0] [3]. The [0] is for Program, [3] is for Program Inputs.
2. Press the corresponding number key followed by [#] [1] to select a point number. [1] is for Configure.
The D9068’s inputs can only detect alarm (shorted) conditions when the RS-232 connection is broken.
When the RS-232 connection to the FACP is active, the inputs are not monitored.
When configured to the D8024 or D10024, only use the D9068’s five inputs as back-up connections.
These inputs cannot be used as separate or additional zone inputs.
The input is supervised and requires an end-of-line (EOL) resistor connected as shown in
The D9068 must be connected to a FACP with a
network address of 1. Communication with the D9068 is
not possible if the FACP’s network address is set to any
other number. The D9068 uses network Address 0.
This section only provides the essential programming
steps required to set up the D8024 or D10024 for use
with the D9068.
2.1Setting the FACP’s Network Address
To set the network address on the D8024 or D10024:
1.At the keypad, press the [>] key to display the Main
Menu.
2. Press the [1] key to select 1) Commission.

2. Press [1] for Ye s .
Although the D9068 supervises its
connection to the D8024 and D10024, the
analog FACPs do not supervise the
connection of the D9068. If the RS-232 link
between the D9068 and FACP is broken,
the D9068 recognizes the problem but
the FACP does not.
For installations requiring the FACP to
recognize faults on the D9068, connect the
D9068 relay output to an analog input
module such as a D326A or D339A Point
Contact Module. On the FACP, configure
the points for action Fault. On the D9068,
configure the relay to Release on Trouble.
No individual restorals are sent. Only the
system Reboot/Reset Reports are sent
when the system is all clear.
When the FACP is in alarm, no FACP
Trouble Reports are sent. D9068 Trouble
Reports are still sent.
For the codes and events generated by the
D8024 and D10024 FACPs, refer to
Appendix F
Installation Guide
in the
D9068 Operation and
(P/N: 45386).
