Functions

Updates are available via the GV4-ROM-KEY update kit,
or downloadable file at www.boschsecurity.us/en-us/.
Before upgrading to version 2.02 firmware, users need
to install RPS v5.16 or greater.

• Monitor Delay. While disarmed, this feature sends a
burg supervisory report to the central station receiver
if a point is faulted for a configurable amount of time
(e.g. a door left open).

• Area Re-Arm. For higher security applications, this
feature guarantees that areas are always rearmed,
and are disarmed for no longer than a specific,
configurable, amount of time (for example, service
time).

• Enhanced keyfob operation. Configures a users
authority level for either keyfob arming, or keyfob
disarming, or both.

• Delay Response. For special applications, this feature
allows a site to create an alarm or local warning when
a point remains faulted too long (or requires a longer
point response time), such as an employee door, or
overhead door.

• Remote module firmware updates. The control panel
includes the support of remote module firmware
updating using the RPS Firmware Update Wizard –
without visiting each individual module.

• B450 module. Allows integrated programming of the
new B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface
and supporting cellular modules such as the B440
and B441.

• Monthly test reports. The control panel includes an
option to enable monthly test reports which run every
28 days without the need to program a SKED.

• Keypad nightlight. Enable or disable this feature on
the B930/B920/B921C which allows the keypad
display and keys to be seen in a dark environment.

• Custom Function and SKED improvements. You can
now include on-board outputs within SKEDS and
Custom Functions. The output parameter for all SKED
and Custom Functions include all on-board (1, 2, 3,
(A, B, C)), off-board, and virtual outputs that are
supported by the control panel.

• RSC (Remote Security Control) app. Supports both
the iOS and the Android OS applications which allow
users to arm/disarm areas, activate outputs, and
control doors to which they have assigned privileges.
Supporting apps are available via the Google Play
Store for Android, and the iTunes App Store for iOS.

• New keypads. B930 ATM Style Alphanumeric Keypad,
B920 Two-line Alphanumeric Keypad, and B921C
Two-line Capacitive with Inputs. All three keypads

feature bright displays with menu navigation options
which are selectable through the use of softkeys, and
hard buttons.

• IPv6 functionality. GV4 Series control panel supports
IPv6 communication protocol when using the
Connetix B426 Ethernet Communication Module
when the Central Station receiver has been updated
with the latest software.

• 32 character programming. Supports 32 character
programmable custom text for points, areas and
users

• GV4 Series control panel support the full line of
RADION wireless portfolio.

communication with the Central Station receiver.

most common features.

• Gas Alarm support. B930/B920/B921C keypads
support such states as Gas Alarm, Gas Trouble, and
Gas Supervisory and are detected and sounded using
a unique alarm tone from the keypad.
