This system includes a telephone line seizure
feature. The system may be programmed to
communicate with a central monitoring station to
report system events. You will not be able to use
your phone while the system is communicating
with the central monitoring station. In the unlikely
event that the central station is not able to
receive the report, your phone may be unavailable
for up to 20 minutes while the panel makes
additional communication attempts.

About This User’s Guide
This user’s guide shows you how to use and maintain your
security system. It covers basic functions, such as turning the
system on and off.
This guide describes functions that are programmed by your
security company. Your system may not have all of them.
Certain functions covered may require you to enter your
personal passcode.
Introduction
Your security system helps to secure life, property, and
investments against fire, theft and bodily harm. It consists of
one or more keypads, motion sensors (such as detectors or
devices located on doors and windows), and sensing devices
designed to detect the presence of smoke or combustion. Each
device is connected to a sophisticated control panel with a
microprocessor, which processes all events registered by the
system.
Control of your security system is achieved through the
keypad (the D621, D621W or D621B), which offers a variety
of basic and advanced features. The keypads, shown in
Figure 2, are tailored to meet your individual needs. Moreover,
they have been designed with you, the user, in mind.

Security System Basics
What Is A Point?
A Point is a detection device or group of devices connected to
your security system. Points are identified by the area they
monitor, such as a front door, bedroom window, or hallway.
What Is A Faulted Point?
When a point (such as a door or window) is closed, it is
normal. When the door or window is open, the point is
faulted or not normal. When you turn your system on, you
will usually want all of the points in your system to be normal.
However, you can turn your system on with faulted points by
using the Bypass Points command.
If a point indicator on the Keypad is on, the point is faulted.
When the faulted point has returned to normal, the point
indicator on the Keypad turns off.
Are All Points The Same?
Not all points are the same. In fact, 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 or off. They are
programmed to either respond instantly to alarm conditions or
to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad and turn the
system off. Various controlled points may be located
throughout your house and/or office.
When you turn your system on, you have the option of
turning on all controlled points (All On), or just some of the
controlled points (Part On). Refer to All On and Part On on
page 9for more information.
24-Hour Points
24-Hour Points are always on, even when the system is turned
off. There are two types of 24-Hour Points: Fire and Non-Fire.
Refer to Reset the system for more information.

D621 Series |User's Guide | Security System Basics
Bosch Security Systems | 8/04 | 8
•Fire Points: Only monitor fire detection devices, such as
smoke detectors. They are always on and cannot be
turned off.
•Non-Fire Points: Monitors non-fire detection devices.
They are always on and cannot be turned off.
All On
When you turn your system All On (refer to Figure 3), you are
turning on all controlled points, bothinterior (motion
detectors) and perimeter (doors and windows of the building).

Bosch Security Systems | 8/04 | 9
Part On
When you turn your system Part On (refer to Figure 4), you
are turning on only a portion of the controlled points. The
particular points included in this portion are determined by
your security company. Part points may include only the
perimeter (doors and windows) of your system, or the points
on the first floor of a two-story house. Check with your
security company to learn which points are Part points.

Keypad Tones
The keypad emits several distinct tones and illuminates lights
to alert you to system events as described in Table 2.
Table 2:Keypad Tones
Tone Tone Pattern Description

D621 Series |User's Guide | System Events
Bosch Security Systems | 8/04 | 14
System Events
Your system responds to four types of alarm events. If more
than one event occurs, your system sorts them into one of four
groups:
•Fire alarms (highest priority)
•Burglary alarms
•Fire troubles
•Non-Fire troubles (lowest priority)
Events grouped as highest priority are always sent to the
central station first.
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point
activates, your keypad emits a Fire Alarm tone. Evacuate all
occupants and investigate for smoke or fire. Make sure all
occupants know the difference between the Burglary Alarm
tone and the Fire Alarm tone.
Burglary Alarms
Burglary alarms are the second priority. When a burglary
point activates, your keypad emits a Burglary Alarm tone.
Ensure all occupants know the difference between the
Burglary Alarm tone and the Fire Alarm tone (refer to Table 2
on page 11).
The keypad display shows each burglary point that went into
alarm by flashing the point number (up to Point 16).
Trouble Events
When a trouble event (such as a loose wire or low battery
condition) occurs, your keypad emits a trouble tone.
The keypad status indicator is on steady. Refer to Check System
Troubles on page 37 for more information on determining the
nature of the trouble.

D621 Series |User's Guide | How Your System Reports Alarms
Bosch Security Systems | 8/04 | 15
How Your System Reports Alarms
Your security system may be programmed to automatically
disconnect your telephone when sending reports to your
security company. Once the report is complete, the system
returns the telephone to normal operation (verify with your
installing company).
Your system makes repeated attempts to send reports to your
security company. If your system fails to report, the keypad
signals a system trouble. Refer to Check System Troubles on
page 37 for more information on determining the nature of
the trouble.
If your telephone service is interrupted, your
security system cannot send reports to your
security company unless it has an alternate
means of transmitting them.
Silence Alarms
When there is an alarm, the alarm tone sounds and the
point(s) in alarm illuminate on the display. If you enter your
passcode before the system dials your security company, the
alarm report is aborted.
1. Enter your passcode to silence the alarm and turn the
system off (if it was turned on). An alarm report is sent if
not acknowledged in time.
2. Press and hold the [Cmd] key to remove the alarm(s)
(flashing point numbers) from the keypad display. Refer
to View Alarm Memory (Cmd 40) on page 38 to see which
points caused the alarm.

decrease the volume.
3. Press [Cmd] to exit this command function when all
adjustments are made.
Log Out Of The System
The system remembers passcodes entered for approximately
10 seconds after you have stopped pressing keys. To log out of
the system, press the [Cmd] key twice. The Cmd LED
remains off, acknowledging that you have successfully logged
out.

D621 Series |User's Guide | Turn the System Off
Bosch Security Systems | 8/04 | 17
Turn the System Off
You have __________ second(s) to enter premises and turn the
system off.
Turn off the security system by entering your passcode. When
the system is on, you must enter through a designated entry
door to prevent an alarm. Opening a designated door starts
the entry delay. During entry delay time, the keypad emits a
entry delay tone every second to remind you to turn the
system on. Enter your passcode before the entry delay time
expires to turn the system off.
If you enter through the wrong door or fail to turn the system
off before the entry delay time expires, you may cause an
alarm. If an alarm occurs, silence the alarm by entering your
passcode and call your security company to let them know it
is not an emergency situation.
1. When the system is All On, the keypad illuminates the All
On indicator. If the system is either Part On or Part 2 On
(refer to Part On on page 9for more information), the
keypad illuminates the Part On indicator.
