How to transfer text from one DS7140 to another DS7140 on a DS7100.

Issue Can I mix Heat Detectors and 2 wire smokes with a sounder when using a D132A Smoke Detector Polarity Reversing Module? Solution No. When a Heat detector goes into alarm it puts a short on the input zone to indicate the alarm. The D132A uses Aux power from the panel when the polarity reversal takes place and since a heat detector does not reset when polarity is reversed, it would put a direct short on the Aux power of the panel. Consequently everything connected to the same Aux power terminals would not function.

Issue How can I tell if the D168 will work with my control? Solution There are 3 items that are important when determining if it will be fully compatible with the control that is in question. 1. The control must provide a 12 volt dc aux power source to the D168A. 2. The control must have the ability to program a point as a keyswitch point. This only applies if you want to arm/disarm through the phone. Otherwise, you will just get arm/disarmed status. The keyswitch point can be programmed as momentary or maintained. 3. The control must have the ability to program a trigger that will trip and stay tripped  when the system is armed.

Overview When wireless points are faulted, they display as 'Short' to the panel. When the wireless point tamper switch is faulted it will display as an 'Open' to the panel. Issue The panel when using a D8125INV and wireless points shows normal/faulted when point transitions from normal to off normal but the control always shows shorted. Solution Problem may be caused by another point expander connected to the control panel. Remove D8125INV from control panel and determine if points go missing. If points remain active (normal, faulted, etc) the control panel is interfacing with the points through another addressable point expander.

Overview The Bosch Security Systems D221 Answering Machine Disconnect Module allows you to remotely disconnect an answering machine that shares a phone line with a Bosch Security Systems control panel. When the answering machine disconnects the phone line is available to the control/communicator for remote programming (RPS) functions. A Touch-tone® telephone at the RAM site is required to perform the disconnect procedure. The D221 can be installed with an existing modular telephone jack or be a replacement for an RJ-11 jack.   Issue   What activates the module to disconnect the answering machine?   Solution   From a touch tone phone call the phone line, let the answering machine answer the line. The # key or the 8 key will activate the module. 1) module white jumper cut = # key 2) module black jumper cut = 8 key **Note: The RAM session is not affected when the D221 restores the phone line to the answering machine. Some answering machines record tones generated during the RAM session. If the D221 Module is used with an integrated telephone/ answering machine device, pressing the activation key ([#] or [8]) during normal use may activate the D221 and disconnect the device for 3 to 5 minutes.

Issue D7112 Panel battery will not hold a charge. Solution A slow flashing (1 sec on, 1 sec off) yellow LED with the green CPU LED off indicates a power supply overload condition.  The panel detects the battery as missing and the power supply cannot meet the power demand of the devices on the panel. The panel is shut down.

Issue Will an Answering Machine cause the D168A not to answer when accessed locally? Solution Some answering machines load down the phone line and cause it to go below 7 VDC. The D168A needs at least 7 VDC to properly process the DTMF tones.
