BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions
2 InGrid Component Installation and Registration
Important Note
Please read and fully understand the BHS-i100
User’s Manual before reading this manual or
attempting to install the system. The User’s Manual
describes the system’s features, functions, and user
interface requirements in great detail. That
information is not repeated in this manual
2.1 Components
The SS470 Auxiliary Siren-strobe is designed for residential
applications. It is intended to be used as a supplementary
audible and visual signaling device when used with the BHSi100 Home Security System. It communicates using encrypted
two-way wireless signals. The only wired connection is power
via a plug-in power supply. A BHS-i100 system can contain the
following compatible components:
Grid Extenders Model Number
Brinks Keypad BK410
Grid Extender SE430
Brinks Programmer BP420
InGrid Sensors Model Number
Window/Door Sensor IS440
Keychain Remote KF460
Auxiliary Siren SS470
Ademco Transmitters Model Number
Glass Break Detector 5853
Motion Detector 5800
Smoke Detector 5808LST
Note: Compatibility between models KF460, 5816, and the
BP420 has not been evaluated by UL.
2.2 Maximum System Capacity
The maximum number of Auxiliary Siren-Strobe devices in a
single system is 4. The Auxiliary Siren-Strobe is intended to be
used only with the BHS-i100 system. Each BHS-i100 system
must contain at least 1 Brinks Keypad and at least 1 Signal
Extender to support the addition of a SS470 Auxiliary SirenStrobe.
2.3 Wireless Communications Range
There are two types of wireless communications used in a BHSi100 system:
Grid Extender to Grid Extender – This communication
operates at 2.4 GHz. To avoid the potential for conflict with
WiFi networks, it is good installation practice to locate any Grid
Extender at least 10 feet from a WiFi router that a customer
may be using. The Grid Extenders installed in a single
customer’s home, garage, and shed work together in a
redundant grid network. If you were to draw a circle around all
of the Grid Extenders in a single grid network, the maximum
diameter of that circle must be less than 300 feet. The InGrid
system will ensure installation within the acceptable range.
Siren-Strobe to Grid Extender – This communication operates
at 345 MHz and 2.4 GHz. Communication from the InGrid
SS470 to Grid Extenders is two-way encrypted wireless.
SS470’s may communicate to any Grid Extender. The
maximum distance from a SS470 to the closest Grid Extender
must be less than 30 feet. Proper installation of the Grid
Extenders and SS470 is determined by using the Installation
and Registration Process.
2.4 Install the SS470 Siren-Strobe
The SS470 Siren-Strobe must be mounted in a dry, clean
location.
The SS470 Auxiliary Siren-Strobe should be wall-mounted at a
height that provides the best possible audible and visual alarm
signaling. The BHS-i100 supports up to 4 SS470’s.
2.4.1 Wiring & Mounting the Siren-Strobe
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the
Keypad. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding strap
to discharge yourself.
The SS470 is designed to be mounted on drywall or wood.
Mounting on metal studs, or any type of brick, stone, or
concrete block will likely reduce the wireless range of the
SS470.
Note: Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch.
Location
Select a location on a wall that is accessible to an outlet that is
not controlled by a switch.
Mount at height convenient for use, typically 55 to 60 inches
above the floor. A wire must be run from the SS470 to the
Power Supply, so choose the location wisely to minimize the
difficulty of running the wire.
The mounting plate must be used for the SS470 to operate
properly.

BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions
Mounting
1. Hold mounting plate level up to the wall where the
SS470 will be mounted and mark area for wires to run
through wall.
Use the mounting
plate as a template
for making a hole for
running wires to the
power supply
Figure 1
2. Make hole in wall. Run wires (18 gauge stranded
wire) from the mounting location of the SS470 to the
outlet where the Power Supply will be mounted.
3. Mount the SS470 mounting plate to the wall using #8
drywall screws.
4. Attach the wires to the power terminals of the SS470.
If the wire is color coded, note the attachment color
used for the positive terminal of the SS470. This
same color wire should connect to the positive
terminal of the Power Supply. The SS470 has a
protection circuit in case the wires are connected with
the wrong polarity. Later, when the Power Supply is
mounted, if the Siren-Strobe does not receive power
from the Power Supply, switch the polarity of the wire
connections on the Power Supply.
5. Snap the SS470 onto the back plate, by inserting the
tabs on the mounting plate into holes on the back of
the Siren-Strobe. If any pressure or difficulty is
encountered, do not apply force. Investigate the
routing of the wires and the alignment of the SS470
and the mounting plate and try again.
2.4.2 Wire the Power Supply
Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the
Power Supply. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding
strap to discharge yourself.
Use the Brinks BS450 Power Supply to provide power to the
Auxiliary Siren-strobe.
BS450 Specifications:
Input: 120V 60Hz
Output: 5VDC 850mA
1. Select an outlet on which to mount the Power Supply.
Choose an outlet that is close to the location where the
Keypad is mounted.
2. Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to
which the Power Supply will be mounted and disconnect
power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or
removing the fuse.
3. Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to
the outlet.
4. Attach the wires to the Power Supply terminals, noting
the polarity of the wire colors (if any). The Power Supply
generates a polarity sensitive +5 volts DC. If the Keypad
does not receive power from the Power Supply, switch
the polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply.
5. The Power Supply contains a tab that protrudes above
the Power Supply. The Power Supply must be mounted
so that the hole in the tab is aligned with the center screw
hole of the outlet cover. This may require changing the
vertical orientation of the Power Supply in order to find
the direction which permits the hole in the tab to align
with the center screw hole of the outlet cover.
6. Insert the outlet screw through both the tab and the
center screw hole of the outlet cover, and tighten. The tab
and the cover should be snug against the outlet, but not
so tight that it causes flexing or stress on either the tab or
the outlet cover.
7. Reconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit
breaker on or replacing the fuse.
Note: Connect the transformer using 18 AWG or larger wire.

The power supply is intended to be correctly orientated in a
vertical or floor mount position.
2.4.3 Install the Battery
NOTE
Install the InGrid IG120 rechargeable battery pack into the
Siren-Strobe and allow charging for at least 24 hours to ensure
that it is fully charged.
1. Connect the battery pack to the Siren-Strobe connector in

battery pack in the compartment
2.5 Install/Learn Auxiliary Sirens
Occasionally, one or more Auxiliary Sirens are needed. This
may occur if the layout of the home prevents the Keypad sirens
from adequately reaching all areas of the home or if residents
suffer from hearing loss. Up to four (4) Auxiliary Sirens may be
installed on a system. If an Auxiliary Siren is necessary, it
should be mounted in a location that will enable all occupants of
the household to hear the siren.
