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.
•Modem4 communication and contact ID reporting. Supports Modem4 and contact ID reporting formats. The use of Modem4 requires version 2.0 of the D6200 firmware update in order to support Modem4 communication with the Central Station receiver.
•Keypad shortcuts. Allows shortcut menu navigation to 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.
