Safety
ESD Precaution
Please note that while the B450 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 can range 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.

Module overview
The B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface (wired to a compatible control panel) is a
four-wire powered SDI2, or SDI device that provides two-way communication over commercial
cellular networks using a plug-in communicator.
The B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator Interface bus address switch determines the bus
address of the device. When required, configuration of the module is managed through the
control panel, a local USB connection, or using SMS.

Bus address settings
The address switch determines the bus address for the B450 Conettix Plug-in Communicator
Interface. The control panel uses the address for communications. Use a slotted screwdriver
to set the address switch.
Notice!
The B450 reads the bus address switch setting only during power up. If you change the
switch after you apply power to the module, you must cycle the power to the module in order
for the new bus address setting to be used for bus communication.
