Security: Intrusion

Issue How to make the CMD's not require a passcode in programming?   Solution   Nibbles 0364 - 0378 put a 0 in for keypad programming or with RAM software in USER INTERFACE, sub menu Authority Level Configuration, make all commands DISABLE under Authority Level 1 - 4.

Overview: Internal testing has found that if a D9210B (version 1.08 firmware) is currently in the energized state and a Reset is performed on the panel (manual reset using the reset switch or a Reset-Bye using RAM/RPS), the D9210B may deenergize the Lock Relay after a 30-minute delay. This is due to a firmware issue in the D9210B. Issue After manual reset, the lock output denergizes after 30 minutes. What causes this?      

Issue What readers are compatable with the D9210B Interface Module?   Solution   Refer to the Data Sheet below.

Issue Bell output only activates for 30 seconds even though it is programmed for 99 minutes. Solution When the fire bell time (address 0195 in version 3, address 4032 in version 4) or burglary bell time (address 0196 in version 3, address 4033 in version 4) is set to 99 for a DS7400Xi version 3 or 4 this sets the bell cutoff time to 30 seconds. For indefinite bell output then these programming addresses should be set to 00.  For 98 minutes of bell output these should be set to 98.

Overview: Bosch Security Systems D113 Battery Lead Supervision Module provides supervision of the battery lead connection between the module and one or two batteries in a 12 VDC system. The D113 meets NFPA 72 requirements for Battery Lead Supervision for Fire Alarm Panels. Issue When is a D113 module needed?   Solution   When a fire panel is using more than 1 backup battery for back up power and or when using more than 1 battery and battery supervision is required or wanted for the system. Note: August 2001 Release Notes Affects: D113 Installation Manual (P/N: 74-07468-000-B) Avoid Short Circuits - Short circuits on the charger wiring between the D113 and the control panel will damage the D113 module. To prevent damage to the module or panel, and possible personal injury, avoid shorting any control panel battery wiring. Battery Fault Signaling - There are two ways that the D113 signals a fault condition: with the supervisory output connected to the zone input of a panel and through the charger wires from the panel. As long as the D113 module is properly receiving power to operate, it will indicate faults using the supervisory output. If the D113 loses power (for example, batteries are connected backwards), the supervisory output may restore and be replaced by a battery fault that is detected through the charger leads. A restoral on the zone input, which is replaced by a control panel battery fault, indicates total failure of the battery  system.         Part numbers D7212B, D9112B, D7212B1, D9112B1, D7212, D7412, D9112, D9124, D9412, D7212G, D7412G, D7412G, D9124G, D9412G, D7212GV2, D7412GV2, D7412GV2, D9124GV2, D9412GV2, D7212GV3, D7412GV3,D7412GV3, D9412GV3, D7212GV4, D7412GV4, D7412GV4, D9412GV4, B8512G, B9512G

Overview: Setting program entry 104 OnBat toYes, enables the alpha display "On Batry" and turns on buzzer when battery is draining faster that it is charging, i.e.: power load on D8112 is more than AC can supply alone.  If this item is programmed YES, the Alpha Command Center will buzz during test reports.   Issue   Every time the D8112 sends a test report, the keypad buzzes until CMD 4 is entered. Solution If program item 104 OnBat (found under Special Alpha Cmd in D8112 Main handler) is set to YES, the Alpha Command Center will buzz during test reports.

Issue How to reset Smoke Detectors after an alarm. Overview: A D136 Plug in Relay is required see below. Solution Reset Detectors By using COMMAND 47, you are able to reset faulted detection devices such as smoke detectors, shock sensors or other power resettable devices from your Alpha II Command Center(Note: Ask your alarm technician which detection zones you may reset from the Alpha II by entering COMMAND 47). NOTE: If you enter COMMAND 47 and the detector resets momentarily, but then returns to a faulted condition, the detector may be faulty or still in an alarm mode. Contact your alarm company and describe the problem in detail. To use COMMAND 47: 1. Ensure security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The display should show "SYSTEM COMMAND". 3. Press and release the 4 key. Now press and release the 7 key. The display shows RESET SENSORS for approximately 10 seconds.   Part numbers D8112, D8112A, D8112E, D8112E1, D8112G, D8112G1, D8112G2  

Issue How can the calendar be adjusted on the D8112? Solution Perform the following steps: Your security system has an internal calendar which it uses to schedule automatic test reports and other functions. This calendar can be programmed to run a weekly or monthly time schedule. If programmed for a weekly schedule, the display shows the day of the week followed by the number of the day (for example, MON 2). If programmed for a monthly schedule, the display shows the month, followed by the day of the month (for example, MAR 20). To use COMMAND 46: 1. Ensure that the security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The display should show SYSTEM COMMAND. 3. Press and release the 4 key, then press and release the6 key. The display should show SET DATE=(date disply). To set a new date display, simply enter the desired date with the number keys on the Alpha II keypad. See the directions on right for month mode or day of the week mode display adjustments.< /FONT> 4. When the display is correct, press the COMMAND bar to exit from this mode. If the COMMAND bar is not pressed, the new date will not be entered and the Alpha II will revert back to the original date displayed. If no keys are pressed for 20 seconds, the Alpha II automatically exits from this mode. Day of Month Schedule: EXAMPLE: To set a date of May 17, you would enter the following: Press the 0 + 5 keys ("05" is the code for May, the fifth month of the year), then press the 1 + 7 keys. The display shows SET DATE= MAY 17. Numerical entries to set month display 01 JAN 04 APR 07 JUL 10 OCT 02 FEB 05 MAY 08 AUG 11 NOV 03 MAR 06 JUN 09 SEP 12 DEC Day of Week Schedule: EXAMPLE: To set the day of week display for Friday, you would enter the following. Press the 6 key. The display shows SET DATE= FRI 6.

Issue How can the D8112 clock be set? Solution COMMAND 45 is used to adjust the time display on your Alpha II Command Center. When you enter COMMAND 4 the Alpha clock is shown in the display momentarily. By entering COMMAND 45, the clock is displayed and may be adjusted with the Alpha II keypad. IMPORTANT: The time should be checked and adjusted at least once a month to insure accuracy. 24-Hour clock settings 1:00pm = 13:00 5:00pm = 17:00 9:00pm = 21:00 2:00pm = 14:00 6:00pm = 18:00 10:00pm = 22:00 3:00pm = 15:00 7:00pm = 19:00 11:00pm = 23:00 4:00pm = 16:00 8:00pm = 20:00 12:01am = 00:01 To use COMMAND 45: 1. Ensure that the security system is disarmed. 2. Press the COMMAND bar. The display should show SYSTEM COMMAND, press 4, 5. 3. Press and release the 4 key, then press and release the 5 key. The display should show SET TIME=(time disply). To set a new time display, simply enter the desired time with the number keys on the Alpha II keypad. (Remember, the clock is set in military time standards, also known as the 24-hour clock. Enter four digits for a complete time setting.) The new time scrolls into the display from right to left, replacing the old display. For example, to set a time of 1:15 a.m. you would enter the following: Press the 0 + 1 + 1 + 5 keys. The display shows SET TIME= 01:15. 4. When the display is correct, press the COMMAND bar to enter the time and exit from this mode. If the COMMAND bar is not pressed, the new time will not be entered and the Alpha II will revert back to the original time displayed. If no keys are pressed for 20 seconds, the Alpha II automatically exits from this mode. Part numbers D8112, D8112A, D8112E, D8112E1, D8112G, D8112G1, D8112G2, D1252, D1252A
