2 General installation
Phases of installation
The installation of the RADION system is achieved by following
the sequential process as defined in this chapter. Overall, there
are four main phases;
– Planning
– Physical installation of the devices
– System enrollment/configuration
– System testing (walk test, pattern test)
It is essential that these steps or phases are adhered to in the
order mentioned above for proper functionality and operation.
When installing a RADION system, you must plan your
installation based on the control panel and RADION device
specifications, and the radio-frequency signal strength (RFSS)
between devices, receivers, and control panels.
Installation considerations
– RADION devices are intended only for indoor, dry
applications.
– Mount RADION devices on flat, rigid surfaces. Some devices
can be optionally corner mounted as indicated in the
installation instructions.
– Avoid mounting RADION devices in areas with large,
metallic objects, electrical panels, or electric motors. They
might reduce the radio-frequency (RF) range of a RADION
device.
– Avoid installing the devices where excessive humidity,
moisture, or temperatures outside of the acceptable
operating range exist.
– Wire all objects according to their specifications.
– RADION devices use batteries of varying types. When
installing batteries, observe safety and polarity
recommendations as indicated in the documentation for
those products.

2.1 Installation workflow
To install, configure, and test the system, use the workflow
below and follow in sequential order, from top to bottom,
checking each box as you complete a step.
Notice!
Always power down the control panel when connecting
modules, or other wiring. Power down the control panel by
unplugging the transformer and disconnecting the battery
Plan the installation of the RADION system
Install the RADION components (refer to the graphical
installation guides and this system reference guide for details)
Program wireless points in the control panel
Enroll point RF ID for wireless points
Verify LED responses on devices
Perform a local walk test for installed detectors
Review signal strength and margin of each point
Complete the installation
2.2 Unpacking information
When unpacking the receiver, repeater, or bill trap device, it is
important to remove the cardboard insert as illustrated below;

Figure2.2: Insert for the bill trap
2.3 Wall tamper switch installation
RADION transmitter devices contain a feature that activates the
wall tamper switch located on the base of the device. In order to
properly install the device, you must consider the following:
– To properly install a device with active wall tamper
functionality, insert a screw in the designated screw slot
location.
– Failure to insert a screw into the wall tamper slot prevents
the wall tamper feature from generating a tamper signal
when the transmitter is pulled away from a wall.

Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2020.05 | 13 | F.01U.261.834
2.4 Magnet cover installation
During the installation of the plastic magnet cover, the cover is
not designed to be separated from the base after the base and
cover are snapped together. Damage to the plastics may occur if
separated.
2.5 Complete installation
Testing the entire RADION system can only be achieved by
performing an area wide test through the control panel and
corresponding keypad(s). This is achieved by performing an
overall service walk test. Refer to your control panel
documentation for system-walk, or other system-wide testing
procedures.
To ensure proper operation of the RADION devices, test the
basic functionality of the device locally. Depending on the
RADION device to be tested, perform the following procedures
for functionality:
– When testing the receiver, power up the compatible control
panel in which the receiver is connected to and observe the
LED behavior on the receiver.
– Local walk testing can be performed on the motion
detectors as defined in the tritech and PIR chapters of this
guide.
– Magnet testing can be performed by opening or closing the
door/window in which the magnet is installed on.
2.6 Maintenance

12 en | General installation RADION receiver SD
2020.05 | 13 | F.01U.261.834 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
It is recommended to check the battery of each device annually.
This will ensure proper operation and functionality of the
devices.
Battery Life Extension feature (PIR and TriTech)
In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmitted only
after three (3) minutes have passed since the previous alarm
restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF
transmissions in high traffic areas, thereby extending battery
life.

3 RADION receiver SD
The receiver connects RADION wireless peripherals to
supported Bosch control panels using the SDI2 bus connection.
A compatible control panel powers the receiver through the
wiring connection. Features include:
– Easy addressing via a rotary switch
– Cover and wall tamper protection
– RFID and configuration data are contained in persistent
memory
– External LED
– Detection and reporting radio frequency interference
– Supports supervision of wireless points (504), keyfobs
(1000), and repeaters (8)
3.1 Check-in interval and power level for
RADION devices
The RADION suite of devices come in three varieties and are
compatible with three RADION receivers. The three varieties are:
-A versions (ex. RFRP -A), Non -A versions (ex. RFRP), or CHI
versions (ex. RFRP-CHI).
Each variety of detector was originally designed for a certain
geographical region, and catered to that specific region's
regulatory requirements. The B810 receiver supports all device
versions. The slight differences are described below:
– -A version. The -A version is called the "American" version
and complies with applicable regulatory requirements, and
is used in North and South America. -A devices are sold in
North and South America. The supervision message is 3 dB
lower than the alarm message, and the supervision interval
is (approx.) every 65 minutes.
– Non -A version. The Non -A version is the European version
and complies with applicable regulatory requirements in
Europe. Non - A devices are sold in Europe, Africa, and

14 en | RADION receiver SD RADION receiver SD
2020.05 | 13 | F.01U.261.834 Bosch Security Systems B.V.
Australia. The supervision and alarm messages operate at
the same power level and the check-in interval is 13
minutes.
– CHI version. The CHI version is the Chinese version and
complies with applicable regulatory requirements in China.
CHI devices are sold exclusively in China. The supervision
and alarm messages operate at the same power level and
the check-in interval is 13 minutes.
The following table shows check-in intervals and power levels
for all RADION devices within the B810 wireless receiver
security system.

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try
to correct the interference by one or more of the following:
– Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
– Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
– Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
– Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician
for help.
