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.

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.
14 en | Points Control Panels
2015.01 | 02 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

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.
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.

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.

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.
Control Panels Warning displays and tones | en 17
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. 2015.01 | 02 | F.01U.307.371

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: _______________________________
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.

2015.01 | 02 | F.01U.307.371 Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

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.

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.
