1 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:

2.2 Keypad cleaning
Use a soft cloth and non-abrasive cleaning solution to clean your keypad
(for example, microfiber cloth and eyeglass cleaner). Spray the cleaner
onto the cloth. Do not spray directly onto the keypad.

Control Panels Points | en 13
Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371
3 Points
3.1 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 their names. 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.
3.2 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.
3.2.1 Part points
Part points often include the exterior doors and windows of the
building (the perimeter). When you turn your system Part On, you only
turn on (arm) the part points.
3.2.2 Interior points
These points often include interior forms of burglary detection devices,
such as motion sensors or interior doors. When you turn your system All
On, you turn on (arm) both part points and interior points.

14 en | Points Control Panels
2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
3.3 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.
3.3.1 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.
3.3.2 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.

Control Panels Areas | en 15
Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371
4 Areas
4.1 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.

16 en | Warning displays and tones Control Panels
2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
5 Warning displays and tones
The keypad emits 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 keypad has status icons that show the status of the system. For
more information, refer to the status icons overview section.
5.1 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.
5.2 Silence the alarm tone
The audible alarm sounds for a specific period of time before it
automatically shuts off. To silence the alarm before the time expires,
simply enter your personal passcode and press ENTER.
5.3 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.

Control Panels Warning displays and tones | en 17
Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371
Your security company programmed the entry delay times for you:
My entry delay time is: _______________________________
5.4 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.
Your security company programmed the exit delay times for you:
My exit delay time is: _______________________________
5.5 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.
5.5.1 Invalid entry (error tone)
The invalid entry tone follows the keypress tone when the keypress
completes an invalid entry.
Some entries require one keypress. Other entries require a series of
two or more keypresses.

18 en | How the system reports events Control Panels
2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
6 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 your security company if the control panel is disarmed within
30 to 45 seconds after a burglary alarm is triggered. Note that fire-type
alarms are always reported without a delay.
Consult with your installer to determine if your security system is
configured with a cancel feature. If you silence a non-fire alarm before
the alarm sound timer expires, your security systems sends a cancel
report to your security company.

Control Panels How the system reports events | en 19
Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371
Consult with your installer to determine if your security system is
configured with a swinger shutdown feature for non-fire alarms and
trouble events. After a programmable number of alarm or trouble
events, your security system automatically bypasses points.
If your telephone service includes the call waiting feature, your security
company can configure your security system so that call waiting does
not interfere with alarm reporting. Be sure to notify your security
company if you enable call waiting. A system that is configured for call
waiting cannot report alarms correctly when call waiting is disabled. If
you disable call waiting after your system has been configured for it, be
sure to notify your security company.

20 en | Alarm events Control Panels
2019.06 | 07 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
7 Alarm events
The system produces several types of events.
7.1 Priority of events
If more than one event occurs, the system sorts them into one of six
groups. The groups are (highest priority first): Fire Alarms, Gas Alarms,
User Alarms, Burglary Alarms, Fire Troubles, and Non-Fire Troubles. The
group with the highest priority scrolls first. The descriptions and
instructions that follow describe the tones and displays for each group,
and explain how to silence the tones.
7.2 Fire alarms
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point activates,
the keypad emits a unique pulsating fire tone.
Evacuate all occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Ensure that all
occupants know the difference between the steady burglary tone, the
pulsating gas tone, and the pulsating fire tone. The tone sounds for the
duration set by your security company.
The display shows the point text of the first point that went into fire
alarm. Press /NEXT to manually show additional points (if any) that
went into alarm. Events scroll from the oldest to the newest.
