2 Security Escort system architecture
2.1 System overview
The Security Escort System consists of five basic components: transmitters, receivers, alert
units, transponders, and the Central Console.
The transmitter is a miniature, radio transmitter, used to transmit either a distress or a test
signal. The receivers are located throughout a protected area, and detect the radio
transmissions from transmitters. Alert units are siren/strobe units activated in the event of an
alarm. Transponders are devices that control groups of receivers and alert units, connected to
them by wire. Each transponder relays alarm and test signals from its receivers to the central
console. In addition, the transponder tests for device and wiring faults, and transmits problem
conditions to the central console. The Central Console consists of a computer (the master
computer), an optional backup computer (the slave computer). Up to eight optional
workstation computers can be used to receive alarm and trouble signals from the
transponders, analyze the signals, activate strobes and sirens on the alert units, and produce a
display for the security dispatcher. Each of these system elements is described in further
detail below.
2.2 System components
2.2.1 Transmitter
There are several types of transmitters for personal use; those normally assigned to system
subscribers, one for security personnel, and one for maintenance personnel. Each transmitter
type serves a different purpose. All versions of transmitters for personal use produce alarm
and test transmissions.
Subscriber transmitter
Each transmitter contains a unique code, which is associated with the subscriber at the time
the transmitter is assigned. In the event of an emergency, press and hold the alarm button(s)
for 1 sec. to produce an alarm (see your transmitter user manual). Optionally, within
approximately 2 sec., the sounders in a nearby receiver activate, as well as the strobes and
sirens on nearby alert units.
The transmitters have a second feature, the test mode. When the user is indoors, in sight of an
interior receiver or outdoors, in sight of an alert unit, pressing the test sequence performs a
test (see your transmitter User’s Manual). If the test is successful, a small green light flashes
on the interior receiver, or the strobe on an alert unit flashes briefly. There is no response at
all if the test fails. If the test fails, the user should try again. If there is still no response, the
user should contact the security office as soon as possible. Every successful test is recorded
in the Subscriber Database in the Central Console software and optionally printed on the
hardcopy printer. The Subscriber Database contains all of the information relating to each
subscriber, including the date and time of the most recent test transmission. It is possible to
search the Subscriber Database for individuals who have not performed tests for a specified
period of time.
Security transmitter
The security transmitters are unique in the way that both tests and alarms are processed.
Outwardly, security transmitters perform in the same manner as normal transmitters during
testing. That is, strobes flash on alert units and green lights flash on receivers to confirm a
successful test. However, when a security transmitter is tested within close proximity of a
receiver, the Central Console records not only the user identity, and the date and time (as
with a normal user test) but also the location of the officer at the time of the test. These tests

Security Escort Security Escort system architecture | en 9
Bosch Security Systems B.V. Technical Reference Manual 2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC
are designated by the term security test on the printout at the Central Console and provide a
convenient means of recording security patrols. (To protect user privacy, location information
is not printed out for regular subscribers during tests.)
The security transmitters also differ in the way that alarms are managed. Unlike regular
transmitters, no sound is emitted from the transmitter itself, no horns are activated on
receivers, and no strobes or sirens are activated.
The Central Console in the security office sounds an alert tone and displays the alarm as usual
except for a yellow background and text advising that the event is a silent alarm from a
security officer. This allows security personnel to call for assistance without attracting
unwanted attention.
Maintenance transmitter
The maintenance transmitter is used exclusively for system set-up and diagnosis. Maintenance
alarms are used during the system set-up to verify that a receiver is functioning and is properly
identified in the Transponder Database. The maintenance alarm is also used to measure the
received signal strength of the receivers from any location within the protected area. The
Central Console distinguishes the maintenance transmitter by its unique coded message and
produces a printout of the signal strengths reported by receivers on each transponder.
In the test mode, the maintenance transmitter behaves like a normal subscriber transmitter
except that the Central Console does not verify the user ID portion of the transmitted code.
Unlike the subscriber transmitters, all maintenance transmitters are assumed to be valid.
Point transmitter
The point transmitter is used to protect assets, not people. It has a magnetic reed switch and
a supervised loop that reports both open and shorted states. The software can be
programmed to report alarms and troubles on any of these conditions going off normal with
unique text identifying the condition. These transmitters are supervised and also optionally
support the alarm follower.
2.2.2 Receiver
The receivers are located throughout the protected area, including building interiors. Inside
buildings, the spacing of these devices depends on the building construction and the locating
precision required. Outdoors, spacing depends on terrain and foliage conditions and building
obstructions. The procedure for location of receivers is contained in the Security Escort
Hardware Installation Manual.
Each receiver contains a radio receiver to detect the transmissions from transmitters, and
microcomputers to decode and interpret the received test and alarm messages. In addition,
the microcomputers monitor to detect tampering, and report such conditions to the
transponder.
Each receiver contains a sounder similar to those in self-contained smoke detectors. These
sounders are optionally activated if the receiver has detected an alarm transmission.
Indoor receivers are typically mounted on inside walls. They are housed in small beige,
rectangular units. Indoor receivers have one red and one green light. The green light is used to
indicate a successful test of a transmitter. The red light is only illuminated during certain
system tests and during alarms.
Outdoor receivers are contained in small weatherproof boxes typically mounted on the sides
of buildings and on light posts. Outdoor receivers do not have the visible red and green LED’s.
Outdoors, the strobe lights on the alert units flash to acknowledge successful tests.

10 en | Security Escort system architecture Security Escort
2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC Technical Reference Manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
In addition to its radio receiver, each receiver also contains a transmitter functionally similar
to the hand held transmitters. This transmitter can be commanded by the Central Console to
transmit a test message to other nearby receivers. This buddy checking is performed
periodically to verify that the receiver sections of all receiver units are functioning
satisfactorily.
2.2.3 Alert unit
An alert unit consists of two components: a self-contained strobe/siren unit and an electronic
driver unit. The latter may be housed in either a metal indoor enclosure or an outdoor
enclosure (similar to the outdoor receiver enclosure), depending on the application. The
strobe siren units are always mounted in outdoor locations. In addition to the function of
attracting attention in the event of an emergency, the strobe unit is used to acknowledge a
successful test of a transmitter.
The alert unit has back-up battery power in addition to AC power. The alert unit driver
contains a microprocessor, which communicates with the transponder for strobe and siren
commands, status reports, and trouble indications. The troubles monitored are tamper, loss of
AC power, and low battery.
2.2.4 Transponder
The transponder is a device controller for up to 64 devices; any combination of receivers and
alert units. The devices are connected to the transponder by means of 8 four wire multiplex
busses: two wires for power and two wires for data. Each bus is capable of supporting up to 8
devices. The Security Escort System supports up to 255 transponders.
Each receiver and alert unit is identified to its transponder by a multiplex address that is set
during system installation using a multi-position switch on the receiver or alert unit circuit
board. Transponders communicate on the data bus with individual multiplex devices by
issuing commands, which contain the receiver or alert unit’s multiplex address. Note that a
given transponder may have up to eight devices with the same binary multiplex address, one
on each bus. Thus, the complete identification of a particular device must include the
transponder with which it is associated (1 to 255), the bus on which it is located (0 to 7), and
its binary multiplex address (0 to 7).
When a receiver or alert unit detects a reportable event (alarm, test, tamper, loss of AC
power, and so on) it goes into an “off normal” state. To quickly locate any devices which might
be in the “off normal” state, global commands (which are interpreted simultaneously by all of
its devices) are issued by the transponder approximately ten times per second. These global
commands are followed by commands to specific devices to determine the nature of the “off
normal” condition and, in the case of an alarm or test, to obtain the Transmitter Identification
Number, Transmitter Battery Condition, and Received Signal Strength. This information is
used by the Central Console to identify the subscriber transmitting the alarm (test) and
determine the subscriber’s location.
2.2.5 Central Console
The Central Console consists of one to eight IBM PC compatible computers running the
Security Escort software within the Microsoft Windows® environment. One computer serves
as the main controller for the entire Security Escort System (the master computer) and a
second serves as an optional backup (the slave computer). The other computers serve as
workstations for the operators of the software. The slave and workstation computers can be
used for administrative functions such as adding subscribers or performing routine system
tests without interfering with the operation of the master computer.

Security Escort Security Escort system architecture | en 11
Bosch Security Systems B.V. Technical Reference Manual 2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC
In the event of an alarm from a transmitter, the console displays the name of the individual to
whom the transmitter is assigned, and the location from where the transmission was made.
The location information is shown graphically on a map of the protected area. Other
information about the subscriber, such as address, home address, phone number, and any
disabilities may also be shown.
Both the main computer and the backup record all messages sent between the Central
Console and the transponders, providing redundancy of records.
2.2.6 Software overview
The Central Console contains all operating software and databases required by the Security
Escort System. The Security Escort Operation Manual describes that portion of the system
software, which affects system operators (in most cases, the Security Department personnel).
This Technical Reference Manual discusses only the software functions that are specific to
installation and maintenance of the system.
All operations on the Central Console computers are password access controlled. The Logout
option on the main menu bar produces a screen for entry of the password.
Figure2.1: Screen for Password Entry
Passwords may have different authority levels, as assigned by installation company personnel
or the Security Department’s key operator. Operations that are inaccessible at a given
authority level appear in gray rather than black on the Central Console. The installation and
maintenance portion of the Security Escort Software is designed to facilitate the set-up and
modification of the system and to provide rapid diagnosis of system problems, usually with
only one person being required. From the Central Console, simple commands can be used to
scan all devices on a particular transponder for their current status. Devices can be enabled or
disabled from the Central Console and the on-board transmitter of one receiver can be
activated to test an adjacent receiver in order to confirm that its radio receiver section is
operating properly (buddy check).
The Security Escort software also continually monitors the status of each transponder to
insure it is functioning correctly. All communications between the Central Console and a
transponder require acknowledgments to verify message integrity. Each transponder must
transmit a message periodically, to assure the Central Console that the transponder is still
operating properly. Should a transponder fail to transmit either a routine status report or any
other message to the Central Console, the Central Console sends a query to the transponder
requesting a message be returned. If there is no response after six attempts at
communications, a pop-up alert appears on the Central Console.
2.3 System operation
The following sections describe the basic operation of the Security Escort System during
alarm, test, and various other routine and emergency situations.

2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC Technical Reference Manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
2.3.1 Alarm sequence
Transmitter
When a user of the Security Escort System activates an alarm with the transmitter, multiple
identical packets of digital data are transmitted from the hand-held transmitter to nearby
receivers. Each packet contains a unique device identification code, an alarm type indication,
the transmitter battery condition, and a check sequence. Multiple packets are employed to
assure successful receipt of the message by the receivers.
Receiver
The receiver is continuously listening for radio signals that might be alarm or test data from
transmitters. If the incoming message is determined to be valid, representing either an alarm
or a test from a transmitter, the peak amplitude of the received signal is recorded.
Transponder scanning
The transponder continually scans all of its receivers to see if any of them received a valid
transmission. Once a transponder determines that one or more of its receivers received a
transmission, it directs a message to those receivers, to determine the specifics of the
transmission.
Receiver response
The receivers respond to these messages with the identification code of the transmitter that
sent the alarm or test, the alarm or test type, and the amplitude of the signal received from
the transmitter.
Transponder data collection and response
The transponder next constructs a message for the Central Console containing the receiver
addresses, for all receivers responding to the event and signal levels of the receptions, the
alarm or test type and the transmitter identification number. The transponder then verifies
that the communications channel is free and transmits the information to the Central Console.
If the communication channel is busy, the transponder delays a random period of time and
tries again.
Central Console response
After acknowledging the alarm transmission from the first transponder, the Central Console
begins its alarm analysis while collecting the alarm data from all other transponders, which
had receivers that detected the alarm. The Subscriber Database is checked to determine the
appropriate reaction to the alarm. If the transmitter is assigned to a valid subscriber and it is
not designated as a security or watchman device, the Central Console commands the
transponders to turn on the appropriate alert units. Depending on the settings selected in the
Security Preferences dialog, this enables only the strobe portion of the alert unit, or both the
strobe and siren. If the transmitter is unassigned, or has been disabled by selection of that
option in the Subscriber Database, no commands will be issued to activate the alert units.
Notice!
An option in the Security Preferences dialog allows unauthorized transmitters (not
programmed in the database) to be treated like authorized transmitters. For example, strobes
and/or sirens can be activated in the case of an alarm transmission (if they are also set to be
activated for authorized transmitters).
The Central Console computes the location of the transmitter by comparing the signal
strengths measured by the receivers which detected the transmission.

Security Escort Security Escort system architecture | en 13
Bosch Security Systems B.V. Technical Reference Manual 2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC
A partial map of the protected area is displayed on the Central Console, centered on the
computed location, and, a yellow circle is drawn to assist the operator in guiding the response
personnel to the probable source of the transmission. Other data drawn from the Subscriber
Database is added to the Central Console display to assist in the response to the alarm. In
addition, the Central Console enunciator is activated to alert the operator to the event.
Figure2.2: Central Console Screen During Alarm
The Central Console also writes the time, location, and identity information to the hardcopy
printer and writes a complete record of all activities to the hard disks on both the primary and
backup computers.
Operator response
The operator reacts to the alarm by acknowledging the event with a keystroke or click of the
mouse, which silences the alert sound from the Central Console. This silences only the Central
Console enunciator, not the outdoor sirens or interior horns. The operator then directs
response personnel to the scene and awaits their indication that the problem was resolved.
When the response personnel advise the operator that the problem is under control, the
operator enters his password into a box on the Central Console. This step causes the Central
Console to send commands to the transponders to silence the sirens and horns and extinguish
the strobes and LED’s. A reset of the system is accomplished with another key stroke or a
mouse click on the Reset button on the screen.
Multiple alarms
Receivers can handle multiple separate alarm or test events at the same time. If the receiver’s
event buffer is full but contains test events, it discards the test records in favor of an incoming
alarm. Similarly, the transponder event buffer can hold multiple events and it also replaces
test events with alarm events when its buffer is full.
To assure that simultaneous alarms are detected, the multiple identical packets sent by the
transmitters are randomly spaced over approximately one second. Only one of the packets
must be detected to produce an alarm. Thus a collision between the transmissions of two or
more transmitters is virtually eliminated. In addition, unless the transmitters are in the same
location, they detect different groups of receivers. The Central Console is capable of

14 en | Security Escort system architecture Security Escort
2019.08 | V2.18.1.6 | DOC Technical Reference Manual Bosch Security Systems B.V.
processing 30 concurrent alarms. When there is more than one active alarm, the Central
Console displays data for the first to be received and also indicates the total number received
and the identity of the individuals transmitting them. The operator can click on the name of an
individual to see the data for a particular alarm.
2.3.2 Test sequence
Transmitter
When the user of the Security Escort System activates a test transmission, multiple identical
packets of digital data are transmitted. In this case, the digital data in the transmitted packets
contain a test code rather than an alarm code.
Receiver
The receiver responds to a test transmission the same as to an alarm transmission by
decoding the radio signals, and measuring signal levels.
Transponder data collection and response
The transponder collects data on a test event in the same manner as for an alarm event, it
does not command the LED (green for test confirmation) to flash until it has been commanded
to do so by the Central Console. Transmitters that are disabled in the Subscriber Database, or
not in the database at all, do not receive a flashing green light or flashing strobe that would
indicate a successful test.
Central Console Response
The Central Console responds to the report of a test from a transmitter by collecting the data
from each transponder reporting the event, and recording the locations of the receivers that
detected the transmission. In this case, however, it does not calculate a location estimate. It
simply records the data on the primary and backup computers’ hard disks, prints the identity
of the subscriber, date and time on the hardcopy printout, and displays generic test icons on
the Central Console in positions corresponding to the locations of receivers hearing the
transmission.
In the case of test transmissions from security transmitters or watchman transmitters, the
Central Console determines the closest receiver to the transmission and creates a guard tour
event which becomes a part of the Guard Tour Report.

4.1.2 Maintenance alarm database
Maintenance transmitters, when activated in the “Test” or “Alarm” mode, generate a series of
multiple data packets like subscriber transmitters. However, a special code in each packet
identifies the transmitter as a “Maintenance Transmitter”.
The receiver responds to a maintenance “Alarm” or “Test” transmission in the same way it
responds to a subscriber “Alarm” or “Test”, unless the receiver has been put in the “Setup”
mode. The transponder then reports the maintenance transmitter identification number and
all signal levels to the Central Console, which then creates the location estimate and
processes the data as it would for a normal alarm.

All maintenance transmitters are assumed to be valid so there is no need for the Central
Console to check for the identification number in the Subscriber Database.

Figure4.3: Maintenance "Alarm” With Signal Levels Shown in Icons
"The Central Console will not generate an audible alert for the operator, nor will it create an
“alarm” display on the main Central Console screen. Because they can be set to graphically
display received signal levels, maintenance “alarms” are very useful to verify that the system
coverage exists at any location in the protected area, and that receiver redundancy is
adequate.
4.1.3 Operator Database
The Operator Database contains the information on the individuals who are authorized to
operate the system, their authority levels, and passwords. See the Security Escort Operation
Manual.
4.1.4 Reports Database
The Reports Database contains information of alarms that were previously processed by the
system. Alarm data and maps showing the operators view can be recalled. See the Security
Escort Operation Manual.
4.1.5 Subscriber Database
The Subscriber Database contains the information on the transmitters that are assigned in the
system. See the Security Escort Operation Manual for the basic operations of the Subscriber
Database dialog. See the section on Exporting, importing and merging the Subscriber
Database for information on the data merge, import and export functions of the Subscriber
Database.
The following section explains the advanced features of the Subscriber Database dialog when
you are inserting a new or editing an existing subscriber.

Figure4.4: Subscriber’s Advanced Features Dialog
The Edit Subscriber’s Advanced Features dialog is used to set up special transmitters that
monitor fixed locations, subscriber pager access, parameters for point transmitters, the virtual
fence for a wandering alarm, the alarm group for arming of the transmitter and check-in
requirements for this transmitter.
Phone number This phone number is dialed to send a pager message to this
subscriber. Typically, this is a different phone number than the one
that is manually dialed to access this pager. The phone number is
assigned by the paging service.
Pager password This is the password to be sent to the paging service when a page is
sent to this subscriber. Leave blank if not required (typically the
pager password is not required). The pager password is assigned by
the paging service.

Pager ID This is the ID that identifies the pager to receive the pager message
(many times this value is the last 7 digits that would be manually
dialed to access this pager). The pager ID is assigned by the paging
service.
Pager Groups The first pager group (*) can be used for email notification. You can
enter the email notification group “01”, “02”, “03” or “04” to
configure the notification of this specific subscriber alarm to be sent
via email to that email notification group. If the pager group (*) is left
empty, alarms for this subscriber will send an email to the default
notification group “00”.
Any data entered from 5 to 99 in the first pager group (*) will be
treated as a pager group. The subscriber can be a member of up to 3
different pager groups. Enter the group numbers in the pager group
fields respectively.
Pager Confirmation Not
Required
If checked, the confirmation pager message is not sent to this pager
if alarm is acknowledged by an acknowledgement transmitter.
Fixed location
transmitter
This section is to be used only when this transmitter is mounted in a
fixed location (it does not move). When this transmitter transmits
and alarm it will always be reported at the programmed location.
Floor level This is the floor level where this alarm is to be located for a fixed
location transmitter.
Map X Position This is the X coordinate of the map position where this alarm is to be
located for a fixed location transmitter.
Map Y Position This is the Y coordinate of the map position where this alarm is to be
located for a fixed location transmitter.
Locate When clicked, the dialog will disappear and the cursor will change to
a cross hair. Moving the cursor to a point on the map and clicking the
left mouse button will scroll the map so that point is at the center of
the screen.
When the map is showing the desired alarm location, move the cross
hair to the exact location of the alarm to be reported and click the
right mouse button. The dialog will reappear and the selected
location will be entered into the X and Y coordinates.
If while the cross hair cursor is being displayed, you desire to exit
without changing any coordinate values, press the <Esc> key and the
transponder edit dialog will reappear.
Map number Defines which bitmap is to be displayed for the fixed location of this
transmitter. The default map is 0, which corresponds to bitmap
MAP0.EDB stored in the “Escort” sub-directory. Map 1 would be
MAP1.EDB. There can be 100 maps per Security Escort system
(0-99).
Enable reed switch If checked the reed switch input of this transmitter enabled to cause
an alarm. Otherwise the reed switch input will be disabled. The alarm
group this transmitter is assigned to must be armed, for this input to
