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.

Forbestreceiverreceptionresults,placethereceiverinacentrallocationamongthe
transmitters.Foroptimalcommunicationresultsinsituationswherethereisalongdistance
betweenthetransmittingdeviceandthesystemreceiver,itmightbenecessarytoinstall
repeaters.
Notice!
Mountthereceiverinalocationawayfrommetalobjects.Metalobjects(ductwork,wire
meshscreens,boxes)reduceRFrange.
3.3.1 RFRC-OPTconfiguration
RADIONWirelessSystemoperatesonaradiofrequencyof433.42MHz.
Configuringtheaddressswitch
Theaddressswitchdeterminesthereceiver’snumericaddressvaluewhichthereceiverwill
usetoreportreceiverstatusinformationtothecontrolpanel.Settheaddresstothereceiver
priortoinstallation.Address1through8arevalidaddresssettingsforthereceiver.Usea
slottedscrewdrivertosettheaddressswitch.
Addresssettings
Thereceiveraddressswitchesprovideasingle-digitsettingforthereceiver’saddress.The
receiverusesaddresses1through8.Addresses0and9areinvalidandwillcausethereceiver
toenterintoanOptionbuscommunicationerrorstate.Thiswillcausethereceivertobe
unrecognizedbythecontrolpanel.Refertoyourcontrolpaneldocumentationforinformation
onthevalidaddressesforthatcontrolpanel.Thefigurebelowshowstheaddressswitch
settingforaddress1.

3.3.2 Basemountinginstallation
Someconsiderationandplanningarerequiredwhenlocatingapositiontomountthebaseof
thereceiverontothedesiredsurface.Thebasemustbemountedinsuchawaythatprovides
plentyofaccessiblespacetoinsertaflat-headedscrewdriver,andremovethereceivercover
whenmaintenanceandtroubleshootingscenariosoccur.
Becauseofthelocationoftheopeningmechanismonthesideofthedevice,youwillneed
approximately254mm(10in)ofclearanceononesideofthebasetoprovideeasyaccessto
theopeningmechanism,andapproximately15mm(0.6in)ofclearanceontheoppositeside
tocompensateforthephysicaldimensionsofthedevicecover.Thisshouldallowforadequate
spaceinwhichthedevicecovercanbeopened,andthecoverremoved,shouldtheneed
arise.
Othermountingconsiderationsinclude;
– Minimumclearanceabovethelocationtocompensatefortheverticalslidingmovement
toattachorremovethedevicefromthebaseis:>30mm(1.2in).
– Minimumclearancebelowthelocationwherethebaseismounted:>23mm(0.9in).
3.3.3 Wiringconsiderations
Notice!
Donotinstalllongcablerunsnexttohigh-currentpowerfeeds.Keepcablelengthsasshort
aspossibletominimizenoisepickup.
Ensurethatthewiringusedmeetsthefollowingspecifications:
– Four-conductorunshielded0.65mm(22AWG)to1.3mm(16AWG)maximum.
– Wirelengthmustnotexceed300m(1000ft)fromthecontrolpanel

3.3.4 Programmingwirelesspointsinthecontrolpanel
AftercompletingthephysicalinstallationoftheRADIONsystem,youmustconfigurethe
RADIONpointsinordertoestablishcommunicationbetweentheRADIONsystemandthe
supportedOptionbuscontrolpanel.Thiscanbeaccomplishedbyusingoneoftwomethods:
– Usingremoteprogrammingsoftwareonasupportedlaptopcomputer,or
– Compatiblekeypaddevicestoenableyourpoints
A“point”canbeadetectiondevice,oragroupofdevicesconnectedtoyoursecuritysystem.
ThefirststeptoenablecommunicationistoverifythattheRADIONtransmitteris
programmedintothesupportingcontrolpanel.Thisisachievedbyconfiguringapointsource
indexaswireless,andthenassociatingatransmitter’sRFIDwiththatpointsourceindex
RFIDprogrammingfromasupportedkeypadisachievedbytwomethods;
– Throughthepointsource/RFIDmenuoptions,or
– EnrollpointRFIDforwirelesspoints–whichusesthe“Auto-Learn”methodology
ThepreferredmethodofenteringintheRFIDnumberwouldbetoenteritinmanuallyviathe
keypad–pointsource/RFID,orremoteprogrammingsoftware.Doingsogivesyougreater
controlandsecurity,whilereducingtheriskofincompleteRFIDprogramming.
Formoreinformationonprogrammingwirelesspointsinthecontrolpanel,refertothe
InstallationandOperationmanualofthecompatiblecontrolpanelonregisteringthereceiver.
3.3.5 EnrollpointRFIDforwirelesspoints(Auto-learnmode)
AsecondRFIDProgrammingoptionexistswherebynewdevicesare“AutoLearned”onthe
system.AutoLearnModeistheprocessthroughwhichthecontrolpanelidentifiesandenrolls
newdeviceRFID’sthatappearwithinthesystem.Thisisachievedbythefollowing:
– Keyfobs–whenthekeyfobbuttonsarepressed,thenreleased.

2014.12|02|F.01U.261.835 ReferenceGuide BoschSecuritySystems,Inc.
– Detectors–whenthebatteryisinserted,orifthedetectorisfaulted.
Notice!
TheAutoLearnmodeoptionisnotrecommendedasthepreferredmethodofenteringinthe
RFID’sduetothepotentialoftheRADIONsystempickingupthefirstavailableRFIDit
detects.Foroptimalresults,manuallyenterintheRFID’sthroughthesupportedkeypad,or
viaRPS.
FormoreinformationonenrollingRFID’sinthecontrolpanel,refertotheInstallationand
OperationmanualofthecompatiblecontrolpanelonenrollingRFID‘s.
3.3.6 Walktest
Usethefollowingpatterntestingproceduretotestthedetectorrangeandfunctionality.
Motionwalktest
Removeandreplacecovertoactivatea90-secWalkTestMode.DuringthisTestMode,any
activityinthesensor’scoveragepatternwillcauseatransmittedalarmandLEDactivation.
EachalarmwillalsoextendtheTestModeforanadditional90-sec.WalkTestingshouldbe
doneacrossthecoveragepattern.Theedgeofthecoveragepatternisdeterminedbythefirst
flashoftheLED.Thismaychangeslightlydependinguponthesensitivitysetting.WalkTest
theunitfrombothdirectionstodeterminethepatternboundaries.Althoughgenerallynot
required,ifmaskingisdesired,thelensdiagramshowstheappropriateareastobemasked.
Useanopaquematerial(suchas,electricaltape)tomaskthedesiredareas.

3.4 ExternalLEDstates
ThereceiverutilizestheExternalLEDtoshowvariousstatesofthereceiver.Thesestatesfall
intothefollowingthreecategories:
– Normalstate
– Communicationerrorstate
– Troublestate
– Maintenancestate
– Offstate
Normalstate:
Thereceiverentersanormalstatewhenithaspassedallpowerself-testsandhasestablished
acommunicationlinkwiththecontrolpanel.Thereceiverremainsinthisstateaslongasthe
communicationlinkispresent,andnootherissuesarepresentthatwouldpreventthe
receiverfromoperatinginanormalcondition.
LEDcondition Statedescription

transmissionfromaRADIONtransmitter.
Flash3times Indicatesthereceiverhasobtainedanew
deviceIDwhilein“LearnMode.”
Communicationerrorstate:
Thereceiverentersacommunicationerrorstatewhen,duringpowerup,itdoesnotestablish
alinkwiththecontrolpanel,orhasbeeninanidlestateformorethan30secwithout
communication.Anothercauseforacommunicationerrorstateisaninvalidaddressswitch
