When pSwinger Bypass is set to YES, the control panel automatically bypasses a point that erroneously reports a pre-determined number of alarm or trouble events within an hour. The ‘pre-determined’ number of alarm or trouble events is called the Swinger Bypass Count. Older version panel types have a hard coded Swinger Bypass Count of 4, newer versions can select the Swinger Bypass Count between 1-4. All 7000/9000, G series panels and GV2 panels using firmware version 7.03 and below use a fixed Swinger Bypass Count setting of 4 and cannot be modified the panel program. All GV2 panel types using firmware version 7.05 and higher, GV3, GV4, B-panels and the B8512G/B9512G have a swinger bypass count setting which can be selected between 1-4. The panel will report a SWINGER BYPASS P### upon meeting the swinger count. If the point has a partial count (less than the maximum number during an hour), the count is reset to zero Points do not need to be programmed as Bypassable YES for swinger bypass to work. A swinger shunted point will return to the system if P## BP Returnable? is YES. If not, return the point to the system by performing the normal procedure to unbypass a point.  Press CMD 00 and enter the point number or press Next to access the next bypassed point, then press Enter to unbypass the point. ...

When the following problem occurs, the solution is to upgrade the panel firmware. With an interior point faulted, you cannot arm the control panel as Occupied. The control panel indicates that the point is not ready to arm, and that it will bypass the point. Upgrading the Easy Series control panel to v3.1 firmware fixes this issue. Upgrade the control panel, and then test the system by arming the system after faulting an interior point. Contact your local Bosch Security Systems, Inc. representative to obtain an upgrade key. To clear this condition on Easy Series systems with v 3.0 firmware installed: The control center announces “Point x is not ready. That point will be disabled. To turn on your system and stay inside, present your token.” x = the point number. Do one of the following: • Present the token to force arm the system. • Wait for the PIR to clear (about 5 sec), or close the faulted point. ... View more

The D4412/D6412 will start an Entry Delay when arming Part-On when the Part Mode Delay Time parameter has been programmed with a non-0 value.  The non-0 entry range is between 30 and 255 in 1 second increments.  When an entry is made in the Part Mode Delay Time parameter in RPS, an Entry Delay time is created which will only apply when the system is armed Part-On. The default setting for Part Mode Delay Time is 0. Therefore faulting a point programmed as Armed for Part Mode, after the area was armed Part-On, would cause an instant alarm if this parameter was set to 0. A delay time would begin if a non-0 value was entered.  In RPS: Part Mode Delay Time is programmed under Panel Wide Parameters and Global Open/Close Options and then Entry Exit Timers.  Programming from the Command Center: Programming two Nibbles sets the Part Mode Delay Time. The system multiplies the number entered in the first Nibble by sixteen and adds that total with the number entered in the second Nibble. For example, to set Part Mode Delay Time to 50 seconds, enter 3 in the first Nibble (3 x 16 = 48) and then enter 2 for the second Nibble (48 + 2 = 50). Use the formula below to calculate the delay time for programming this parameter. 3         x         16    =   48         +         2     =   50 (Nibble                                               (Nibble     (Part Mode 0268)                                                 0269)       Delay Time)  See section 3.6.8, pgs 36 & 34 in 45351D for more information on Part Mode Delay Time. ...

 When converting D8112 panels to GV2 panels (D7212GV2, D7412GV2 or D9412GV2), Popit modules and POPEX interface modules must first be verified for compatibility by checking date codes.  D8126 POPITs, which are the older and larger type (about 3.5" x 2.5") are not compatible with GV2 panels.  D8127 POPITs, which look the same as D9127 POPITs except without a 0 dip switch, are compatible provided they are date code 9344 or newer.  The D8125 POPEX is compatible provided it is date code 9434 or newer.  Dip switch settings from existing POPITs on D8112 panels can remain unchanged on the replacement GV2 panel by using the translation charts below. Existing POPITs and dipswitch settings on D8112 panels can be used on GV2 Series panels.  D8112 panels are configured for either Horizontal Mode=Yes or Horizontal Mode=No.  This setting must first be determined first before converting POPITs and switch settings to the GV2 panel.  There are different tables for converting panels using Horizontal Mode=Yes or Horizontal Mode=No and the correct table must be used to properly convert the popits.  Below are the conversion tables to be used for D8112 panels set to Horizontal Mode=NO and Horizontal Mode=YES: Popit Switch Settings: ...
