What are the enviromental considerations for the proper operation of the Bosch control/communicators?
Solution
Indoor Dry.
Relative Humidity 5% to 85% noncondensing at +86 degrees Fahrenheit (+30 degrees Celsius).
Operating temperature would be +32 degrees Fahrenheit to +120 degrees Fahrenheit ( 0 degrees Celsius to 49 degrees Celsius ).
How to interpret the B520 Auxiliary Power Supply Module status LEDs.
The Heartbeat, battery and AC LED's are used to indicate the operational status of the B520 Auxiliary Power Supply.
Overview: The Inovonics FA570 and FA575 High-Power Repeaters receive, decode and re-transmit signals from Inovonics FA-Series transmitters up to 4 miles in open field.
Issue
What is the difference between the FA570 and FA575?
Solution
The difference is the FA575 includes the ACC640 weatherproof enclosure to accommodate exterior applications as well as battery leads to hookup an external battery. Other then that, the units are exactly the same.
Issue
When does the D128 dual phone line switcher module indicate a phone line failure?
Solution
An amber phone line status LED lights on the D128 module when the control/communicator measures less than 25VDC or 10mA of current across the tip and ring of the telephone line. The D8112 and D9112 monitor the telephone lines for a programmable interval before indicating a trouble condition.
Issue
On 2000 series panel, point codes are programmed for points between 9 and 24. When programmed points are tested the keypad reads "PT(#) PT DISABLED (where # is the number of the point being tested).
Solution
Pt text (Point Text) was never changed from default that read "PT(#) PT DISABLED".
How to determine which control panel has SDI 92 available for the IP Communicator.
Which is the first panel that supported address 92 for communication devices on the SDI bus.
B420, B426, B450
Issue
What is the part number for the back up battery for the DS415i and the DS445?
Solution
The P333 Backup Battery is designed for use with both the DS445 and DS415i Photoelectric Beam Detectors. When using the P333 with the DS415i, the polarity plug in the battery connector must be removed. Pull the white plug out of the connector using a pair of needle nosed pliers before connecting it to the DS415i. When the P333 battery is used with the DS445, there are no modifications necessary.
Part numbers P333, DS445, DS415i
Issue
What is the proper alignment procedure for the DS455Q?
Solution
Alignment by LED
Apply power to the system.
Use the supplied interruption sheets to cover the lower optical modules of the transmitter and the receiver.
Look into the upper scope of the transmitter 10 cm (3.9 in.) to 15 cm (5.9 in.) from the optical module. Use the turntable to adjust the horizontal angle.
Use the horizontal and vertical adjustment screws to locate the receiver in the center of the viewing area.
Look at the Level Meter on the receiver to proceed with fine tuning.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the angle of the upper optical module.
As more beam energy is received, each LED status follows this sequence: ON_Flashes quickly_Flashes slowly=>OFF
Continue fine tuning until all LEDs turn off.
Remove the interruption sheets from the lower optical modules and cover the upper optical modules of the transmitter and the receiver. Repeat the alignment process for the lower optical modules.
When all LEDs turn off, the alignment is complete. Remove the interruption sheets from the optical modules.
Alignment Using a Voltmeter
Apply power to the system.
Use the supplied interruption sheets to cover the lower optical modules of the transmitter and the receiver.
Insert the voltmeter leads into the alignment check terminals.
Set the voltmeter to 10 volts VDC.
Use a screwdriver and adjust the upper optical modules to obtain the maximum voltage. In an ideal environment, the voltage is 3.0 VDC or above.
Remove the interruption sheets from the lower optical modules and cover the upper optical modules of the transmitter and the receiver. Repeat the alignment process for the lower optical modules.
Make sure to remove the interruption sheets and close the covers when alignment is complete.
