1 Safety
ESD Precaution
Please note that while the module comes in a plastic case, and is protected from ESD, the
plug-in cellular communicator (B44x) does not. All plug-in cellular communicator components
may potentially be exposed to finger touches - therefore extra attention must be paid to ESD
(electrostatic discharge) precaution.
Make sure there is no static interference when using the board. Appropriate ESD protections
must be taken and wearing electrostatic equipment is recommended, such as anti-static wrist
strap.
ESD damage ranges from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure.
Precision integrated circuits may be more susceptible to damage because very small
parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.
!
Warning!
Failure to follow these instructions can result in a failure to initiate alarm conditions. Bosch
Security Systems, Inc. is not responsible for improperly installed, tested, or maintained
devices. Follow these instructions to avoid personal injury and damage to the equipment.
Notice!
Inform the operator and the local authority having jurisdiction (AHJ) before installing the
module in an existing system.
Disconnect all power to the control panel before installing the module.
Before you install the module, refer to the technical specifications.
