Introduction
Security systems help to secure life, property, and
investments against fire, theft, and bodily harm. The
keypad is an advanced digital device that offers a variety
of features not available with other systems. Its highly
visible, back-lit display and built-in sounder alert you to
a number of system events. Stylish design and ease-of-
use make it ideal for property protection.
Your security company can program the system to meet
your individual needs. Your property is given its own
English language description that appears in the display.
Contact your security company should problems be
encountered during testing of the system.
Your alarm company is:

Points
What is a point?
The term point refers to a detection device, or group of
devices connected to your security system. Points show
individually at the keypad with name. The point name
can describe a single door, motion sensor, smoke
detector, or an area such as Upstairs or Garage. There
are two basic types of points, controlled and 24-hour.
Controlled points
Controlled points respond to alarm conditions
depending upon whether the system is turned on
(armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled points are
programmed to respond instantly to alarm conditions or
to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and turn
your system off. There are two types of controlled
points, part points and interior points.
Part points
Part points often include the exterior doors and
windows of the building (the perimeter of the building).
When you turn your system Part On, you only turn on
(arm) the part points.

2012.12 | 03 | F.01U.265.453 Owner's Manual Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Interior points
These points often include interior forms of burglary
detection devices, such as motion sensors or interior
doors, for example. When you turn your system All On,
you turn on (arm) both part points and interior points.
24-hour points
24-hour points are always on (armed), even when your
security system is turned off (disarmed). There are two
types of 24-hour points, fire points and non-fire points.
Fire points
Fire points exclusively monitor fire detection devices.
They are always on (armed) and cannot be turned off
(disarmed). You can clearly distinguish fire points from
other non-fire points at the keypad.
Non-Fire points
Non-fire 24-hour points are always on (armed) and you
cannot turn them off (disarm). Panic buttons, hold up
buttons, low temperature sensors, and water sensors
are examples of devices that are typically monitored by
non-fire 24-hour points.

Areas
What is an area?
An area is a number of points that are grouped together
so that you can control them together as one unit. For
example, if a security system protected a building with
three sections – an office, a laboratory, and a cafeteria –
the points in each of those sections could be grouped
together as an area. With each section being its own
area in your security system, you can turn them on
(arm) and off (disarm) individually, in groups (office and
laboratory, for example), or all together.

Warning displays and tones
The keypads emit several distinct tones and shows text
to alert you to system events. Additional bells or sirens
may also be connected to your system. Bells or sirens
mounted on the exterior of the premises alert neighbors
to emergencies and provide an audible guide for police
and fire fighters.
The keypads have five status LEDs that indicate the
status of the system and some alarms. For more
information, refer to the status LED overview section for
your keypad.
Keypad quiets for keystrokes
Pressing any key on the keypad lights the keys and
quiets any warning tones. If you do not press another
key within 20 seconds, the keypad lights go out and the
warning tones resume.
Silence the alarm tone
The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time
before it automatically shuts off. To silence the siren
before the time expires, simply enter your personal
passcode and press [Enter] or [ENTER].

Entry delay tone and display
When you enter a system that is on (armed) through a
point programmed for entry delay, the keypad emits the
entry delay tone as a reminder to turn off the security
system.
Failure to turn off your security system before the entry
delay time expires might sound the burglary tone and
could result in an alarm report being sent to your
security company.
Your security company programmed the entry delay
times for you:
My entry delay time is: _______________________________
Exit delay tone and display
When you first turn on (arm) your system (using your
keypad or keyfob), the keypad emits the exit delay tone,
shows Exit Now!, and counts down the exit delay time.
The tone pulsing rate increases during the last 10 sec of
exit time.
If you exit and re-enter before exit time expires, the exit
delay timer restarts the countdown. The restart only
applies once.

Keypress tones
The keypad sounds the keypress tone (a short beep)
when you press any key. Use the Settings menu to
enable/disable the keypress tone.
Invalid entry (error tone)
The invalid entry tone follows the keypress tone when
the keypress completes a invalid entry.
Sometimes an entry is one keypress. Other times it is a
series of two or more keypresses.

How the system reports
events
Your security system makes repeated attempts to send
reports to your security company. In the event your
security system fails to communicate, the keypad
sounds the trouble tone and the keypad shows a
communication failed message. Notify your security
company of the communications failure.
If your telephone, internet, or cellular service is
interrupted, your security system cannot send reports
to the security company unless an alternate means of
transmitting the reports exists.
For telephone communication, your security company
can program your security system to automatically
disconnect the telephones when sending reports to the
security company. Once the report finishes, the security
system returns the telephones to normal operation
(check with your security company).
Consult with your installer to determine if your security
system is configured with a communicator delay. A
communicator delay aborts reports to the central
