Bosch B442 User manual

2.3 | Install the module
Inserting the SIM card:
1. Break away the SIM card from the plastic die-cut card.
2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM card holder on the module
by sliding it into the card holder. Make sure that the gold
contact side of the SIM card is against the module. Refer to
Figure 2.1.
The programming of B442 Plug-in Communicators is done
through the compatible control panel or the B450 Plug-in Com-
municator Interface. Refer to your control panel guide, remote
programming software help, or the B450 IOG for parameter
descriptions, options and defaults. For Bosch Cellular account
status and management, use RPS or the online service portal
(go to http://www.conettix.com/Cellular.aspx and click on
the Cellular Portal Login link).
Configure network alarm communication routes and settings
in the control panel. Cellular carrier-specific settings (such
as Access Point Name and SIM card security) can also be
programmed through the control panel or Conettix Plug-in
Communicator Interface (B450).
4 | Configuration
The control panel communicates with and provides power to the
module through the plug-in connection. Proper installation
results in the necessary electrical and mechanical connection.
Installing the module:
1. With the module facing the control panel as shown in Figure
2.3, insert the support leg into the support hole labeled X.
2. Align the PCB metal contacts with the on-board connector.
3. Push the module into place. The retention clip snaps closed
and secures the module in place.

2.2 | Install the antenna
Installing the antenna:
1. Place the magnetic antenna on top of the enclosure, or
vertically on another metal surface.
2. Route the antenna cable through a knockout.
3. Connect the antenna cable to the module.
4. Secure the antenna cable to the inside of the enclosure.

3 | Diagnostic LED descriptions
At power up, all module LEDs activate for several seconds,
indicating proper insertion. The Signal LEDs then turn off until
the module registers on the cellular network. Registering a new
module might take up to 2 minutes.
Check the LED display to ensure a good signal strength level,
and adjust the antenna location as required. The signal strength
LEDs momentarily turn off to indicate the module has measured
and updated the signal strength status. Refer to Table 3.1.
Table 3.2: STATUS LEDs description
Flash pattern Function
Red Indicates an
unacceptable signal
strength level.
Yellow Indicates a marginal
signal strength level.
Green (1 light) Indicates a good signal
strength level.
Green (2 lights) Indicates a very good
signal strength level.
Table 3.1: Signal strength LEDs description

Normal State. Indicates normal
operation.
On Steady (blue) Communication Error State.
Indicates the module is unable
to communicate on the cellular
network.
Off LED Trouble State. Indicates
module is not powered, or some
other trouble condition prohibits
the module from controlling the
STATUS LED. (Check for proper
installation.)

The B442 provides IP communication over the GSM (GPRS)
digital cellular network by directly connecting the module to the
control panel. The control panel can be configured to use B442
for alarm reporting, remote access and personal notification
messaging.
The B442 module requires a SIM card with active cellular
service to communicate. Bosch Cellular service and SIM
cards are available in some countries. Consult your Bosch
representative for details.
