What is a Point?What is a Point?What is a Point?What is a Point?What is a Point?A “point” is a detection device, or group of devicesconnected to the security system. Points displayindividually with custom text. The text can describe asingle door, motion sensor, smoke detector, or an areasuch as UPSTAIRS or GARAGE. There are two basictypes of points, controlled and 24-hour.

Controlled PointsControlled PointsControlled PointsControlled PointsControlled PointsControlled points respond to alarm conditionsdepending upon whether the system is turned on(armed) or turned off (disarmed). Controlled pointsare programmed to respond instantly to alarmconditions or to provide a delay for you to reach thecommand center and disarm the system. The wordsA1 # ALARMSA1 # ALARMSA1 # ALARMSA1 # ALARMSA1 # ALARMS appear before the point text when thereis an alarm. There are two types of controlled points,perimeter points and interior points.

Perimeter PointsPerimeter PointsPerimeter PointsPerimeter PointsPerimeter PointsThese points usually include all exterior doors andwindows of the building.

Interior PointsInterior PointsInterior PointsInterior PointsInterior PointsThese points usually include interior forms of burglarydetection devices, such as carpet mats, motion sensors,or inside doors, for example.

“At an idle state” means that the system is not currently performing a function entered by a user and there areno active alarms. There are three idle states:

• Turned on (Armed)

• Turned off (Disarmed) with no points faulted (doors or windows open) in the area

• Turned off with faulted points (doors or windows open) in the area

This guide uses the default idle state displays for examples of these idle states. Your security company mayprogram custom text for the idle displays in your system. The custom text and the default text for the threesystem idle displays follow.

Not even the most advanced security system canguarantee protection against burglary, fire, orenvironmental threats. All security systems are subjectto possible compromise or failure-to-warn for a varietyof reasons including, but not limited to, the following:

• If sirens or horns are placed outside the hearingrange of people in remote areas of the buildingor in areas that are frequently closed off, theydo not provide the intended protection.

• If intruders gain access through unprotectedpoints of entry, the system does not detect theirentrance.

• If intruders have the technical means ofbypassing, jamming, or disconnecting all or partof the system, they will not be detected.

• If the AC power supply is OFF and the back-upbattery is either missing or dead, sensors do notdetect intrusion.

• Smoke detectors cannot detect smoke inchimneys, walls, or roofs, or smoke blocked by

a closed door. They may not detect smoke orfire on a level of the building different from theone they are located on. Smoke detectors maynot be able to warn in time about fires startedby explosions, improper storage of flammables,overloaded electrical circuits, or other types ofhazardous conditions.

• If phone lines are out of service, reports fromthe security system to the security companycannot be sent. Telephone lines are vulnerableto compromise by several means.

Inadequate maintenance and failure to test are themost common causes of alarm failure. Testing thesystem once a week is strongly recommended to ensureall system components are working properly.

Although having a security system may make youeligible for reduced insurance premiums, the systemis no substitute for insurance. Warning devices cannotcompensate you for loss of life or property.

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death.Most fire related deaths occur at night when occupantssuffocate in their sleep from smoke and toxic gases,rather than from burns. To help reduce this risk, thefollowing program should be implemented.

1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaningwith flammable liquids such as gasoline, leavingchildren home alone, and using unsafe holidaydecorations are some of the common causes ofhousehold fire.

2. Install a fire alarm system. The primary purposeof this system is to protect lives by giving theearliest possible warning of danger.

3. A smoke detector (indicated in the figures by aninverted “s” in a circle) should be provided todetect smoke in each sleeping area in a home.

4. Practice an escape plan. Because there can bevery little time between detection of a fire andthe time it becomes deadly, it is important thatevery member of the family understand how toquickly evacuate according to the plan.

Sincestairwells and hallways can be blocked during a fire,exiting through a bedroom window must be a part ofthe escape plan. If the sleeping area is above the groundfloor, install a means of safe descent outside thebuilding if one does not already exist.All family members should plan to meet at a locationaway from the house (such as a neighbor’s house) soeveryone can be accounted for.

If it is determined that the alarm was accidentallysounded, the bell should be silenced, the detectorsreset, and the security company notified immediatelythat there is no emergency situation.

What You Need to KnowBefore using this manual, you should become familiar with the Security System User’s Guide. TheUser’s Guide provides step by step instructions for using command center functions. It also givesdefinitions of the command center displays and the security system’s memory logger eventdescriptions.

Individual users learn the basic steps needed to operate the security system from the SecuritySystem User’s Guide.

How to Use This ManualUse this manual to perform advanced system functions like add and delete user passcodes, reassignauthority levels to user passcodes and operate or change programmed scheduled events (Skeds)from the command centers. As you make changes to the system, update the information containedin the tables in this guide to provide an accurate account of the programmed information.

Your Custom Display“At an idle state” means that the system is not currently performing a function entered by a user.There are three idle states the system may be in:

• Turned on (Armed)

• Turned off (Disarmed) with no points faulted (doors or windows open) in the area

• Turned off with faulted points (doors or windows open) in the area.

This guide uses the default idle state displays for examples of these idle states. Your securitycompany may have programmed custom text for the idle displays. The User’s Guide describes theidle displays in your panel.

ADD PASSCODES? Description

Use this function to add a passcode to your system without assistance from your securitycompany. You need to know which user numbers are available, the authority level you want toassign to the new passcode and the areas in which it will be valid before you add it.

The two digit user numbers identify users in reports transmitted from your system. The authoritylevel determines what system functions the passcode can access. The area number identifies whichparts of your security system the passcode will have access to. Contact your security company ifyou don’t know what user numbers, authority levels, or areas are available. See the Appendix forfurther information on adding passcodes.

Using COMMAND 56:

Before you begin:

• Do not try to add passcodes without knowing the available user numbers. These are twodigit numbers, not to be confused with passcodes, that identify users at your securitycompany.

• Choose a new passcode three to six digits long. If you choose a passcode with the samedigit in consecutive order (for example “33” in 334697), take care when entering it.

• To avoid conflicting with other passcodes and duress codes, your system does not let youchange to passcodes that are within plus or minus 2 of an existing passcode. Forexample, if 1234 were an existing code, your system would not let you change your codeto 1232, 1233, 1235, or 1236.

Working With Multiple Areas Froma Single Command Center

Page 110: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual
Page 111: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual

Working with Multiple Areasfrom a Single Command Center

Each of the functions described in the preceding section on Advanced Commands is presented asthough your system includes only one area. If your system includes more than one area, it can beset up one of two ways by the installing company: (1) Each command center will only have accessto the local area to which it is assigned, or (2) Each command center may access either some or allareas beyond the one to which it is assigned. This factor is referred to hereafter as command centerscope.

If your command center allows access to areas other than the local area (that is to say, has scope inother areas), then the command center will limit your access to those areas within the commandcenter scope and for which your personal passcode has authority.

Given that you have access to areas beyond the local area, the means of accessing the varioussystem functions depends upon the specific function.

For some functions, the command center allows you to select the area (or point) in which toperform the function. These “selectable” functions are: DISARM ?, BYPASS A POINT?,UNBYPASS A POINT? and MASTER ARM AREA ?.

Another group of functions may automatically work in all areas in which you have passcodeauthority and which are within the scope of the command center. These are: Turning On MultipleAreas with a Passcode, Turning Off Multiple Areas with a Passcode, DISARM ALL ?, MASTERARM ALL?, VIEW MEMORY?, WALK TEST?, RESET SENSORS ?, ADD PASSCODES ?, FIRETEST?, VIEW POINT STATUS? and VIEW AREA STATUS?.

Some functions may be area-specific. To perform these functions, you may first use the MOVE TOAREA ? function (COMMAND 50) to gain access to the desired area. Once in the desired area youcan perform the functions you wish. Area-specific functions include: PERIMETR INST?,PERIMETR DELAY ?, PERIMETR PART ?, EXTEND CLOSING ?, WATCH MODE ?, COMMAND7 ?, COMMAND 9 ? and CHG DISPLAY ?.

A last group of functions don’t relate to specific areas and are thus system-wide. These are: SENDREPORT?, REMOTE PROG ?, CHG TIME/DATE ?, CHG SKEDS ?, DEL PASSCODES ?, CHGRELAYS ?, CHG PASSCODES ?, PRINT LOG ? and VIEW LOG?.

Page 112: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual
Page 113: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual

View Area StatusUse this function when you need to know the status (whether armed or disarmed) of areas otherthan the one you’re in.

1. Ensure that your command center is at idle text.

2. Press the [ESC]/[MENU] keys to enter the command menu. Press [NEXT] until theVIEW AREA STATUS function is displayed.

3. Press [ENT]. The first display shows the status of the first area within your commandcenter’s scope.

4. Press [NEXT] to see the status of each of the areas within your command center’s scope.

5. Press [ESC] to return to your current area’s idle text.

View Point Status• Use this function to identify the number or location of each point in an area, and to show the

current condition of any point you select. This function is useful as an aid in servicing thesystem.

1. Ensure that your command center is at idle text.

2. Press the [ESC]/[MENU] keys to enter the command menu. Press [NEXT] until theVIEW PT STATUS function is displayed.

3. Press [ENT]. The display shows AREA X ## (where X ## = the area number and thenumber of points to view).

4. Press [ENT]. The display shows PT ## XXXXX (where XXXXX = the type of point).Press [ENT] again to see the current condition of the point. The display will show oneof the following:

• PT###-SHORT-HW which indicates that a hard wire (HW) point is shorted.

• PT###-OPEN-HW which indicates that a HW point is open.

• PT###-NORML-HW which indicates that a HW point is normal.

• PT###-MISNG-HW which indicates that a HW point is missing.

5. Continue to press [ENT] to see the type and condition of each point in the area.

Note: You will notice that the text for COMMAND 7 and COMMAND 9 is followed by a “MISNG”condition on Points 72 and 136. Points 72 and 136 serve dual purposes. They are used forCOMMAND 7 and COMMAND 9, and they are also used to supervise the data expansion bus.When you see that Points 72 and 136 are missing, do not be alarmed. When these points aremissing, the point bus is normal.

6. Press [ESC] to return to your current area’s idle text.

Page 114: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual
Page 115: Bosch G Series Digital Alarm System Manual

Move to Area With this function you can perform tasks in an area other than the one you’re in without havingto physically go to that area. Your access to other areas is limited by the scope of the commandcenter and your authority level. For example, if your passcode gives you authority to all 8 areas,but the command center you’re working with is limited in scope to areas 1 and 2, then you willonly be able to move to either area 1 or area 2.

Upon moving to another area, the range of tasks you may perform depends upon the commandcenter you’re working with. Once you’ve performed a task (such as Turning the Area On), thecommand center reverts back to its programmed area after 10 seconds. Thus only one task can beperformed in another area at a time.

1. Ensure that your command center is at idle text.

2. Press the [COMMAND] bar. The display shows SYSTEM COMMAND.

3. Press the [5] key, followed by the [0] key. The display shows ENTER AREA. Enter thearea number you wish to move to. Press [ENT].

4. AREA X MOVE displays briefly, and then the text of the area you’ve moved to isdisplayed. You are now able to perform tasks in this area. The number of areas to whichyou can move will be limited by the scope of the command center. If you try to move toan area for which the command center does not have scope, NO AUTHORITY isdisplayed.

5. When you have completed all tasks in the area you’ve moved to, simply allow thecommand center to time-out and revert to the area from which you started or enter theMove to Area function again.

Turning the System OnTurning On Multiple Areas with a Passcode

You can use your personal passcode to turn on both perimeter and interior points in all areaswhere your passcode has authority. If there are areas already turned on, this function turns on allareas that are off without changing the status of the areas that are already on.

1. Enter your passcode and press [ENT].

2. The command center displays ARMING 12345678, indicating that all areas are beingturned on. The actual number of areas you may turn on is limited by command centerscope and/or your authority level. For example, if you have authority to arm all 8 areasbut the scope of the command center you’re using is limited to areas 1, 2, and 5, thenyou will only be able to turn on areas 1, 2, and 5.

3. If a point is faulted (door or window open for example), CHK AREA # displays. Tryone of the following:

• Close doors and/or windows and repeat step 1.• Bypass the faulted points (if your system and authority level allow) and repeat step

1.• Force arm the areas with faulted points, if your system and authority level allow.

Remember that points that are force armed are not protected.

4. After arming your system, leave the building through a door programmed with exitdelay time. Your command center emits an intermittent beep tone and counts down theexit delay in the display.

• If you open a door after exit delay time expires, entry delay time begins. Turn thesystem off to avoid an alarm event.

Turning On Multiple Areas with Master Arm All

You can use this Command Menu function to turn on both perimeter and interior points in allareas where your passcode has authority. If there are areas already turned on, this function turnson all areas that are off without changing the status of the areas that are already on. This functionworks the same as entering your passcode to arm, but allows the Master Arm All feature to beincluded in the Command Menu.

1. Press the [ESC]/[MENU] keys to enter the Command Menu.

Supplementary Information for Adding PasscodesUse the information contained in this Supplement to help you add user passcodes.

User Authority Levels

Your security company uses the information contained on this page to establish authority levelsfor system users. For each of the 1- 15 authority levels, each command center function is eitherenabled (E), disabled (blank), or Passcode enabled (P). A function that is enabled (E) is availableto all users. A function that is passcode enabled (P) is only available to users assigned an authoritylevel that includes that function. If you do not want a particular command included in a givenauthority level, leave it blank.

If you are having trouble understanding the concept of authority levels, try this simple exercise.Refer to the column titled E/P on the next page. Notice that your security technician has markedsome of the cells in this column with the letter “E”, others the letter “P”, while others are left blank.An “E” indicates that this function is enabled for all authority levels. A “P” indicates that thefunction is passcode protected. Look across the same row, and notice that some of the cells in theauthority level area have the letter “E”. For each authority level in which an “E” appears, thisfunction is enabled (with a passcode required). A blank cell in the E/P column means that thisfunction is unavailable for any authority level.

Under the heading Authority Level, you’ll see columns 1-15, representing the 15 authority levels.Now look at the column labeled 1. Following down this column, you’ll see that some cells areblank while some contain the letter “E”, which stands for enabled. Wherever there is an “E”, itmeans that that function is available to users with an authority level of 1.

User Access Windows

Use the information on this page to describe access windows for users. An access window is aperiod of time that is defined in which a user has access to the security system. If the user attemptsto use the system during a time period that falls outside the assigned access window, access will bedenied.

Passcode Worksheet

The passcode worksheet presents the information discussed above onto one page, and alsoincludes the user’s ID number, assigned passcode, and his or her name. Think of the passcodeworksheet as the page that “puts it all together.”

An important piece of information included in the passcode worksheet is the listing of areas towhich the user has access, along with the authority level assignment for each of those areas.
