3.2 Install the control panel

This section includes instructions to mount the control panel in the enclosure, connect earth
ground, and make other control panel connections.

3.2.1 Mount the control panel

Refer to the figure Enclosure overview, page 7.
Mounting the control panel:
1. Place the control panel over the inside back of the enclosure, aligning the large
rectangular openings of the mounting skirt with the enclosure mounting attachment
hooks. Slide the control panel down so that it hangs on the hooks.
2. Remove the tape from the #6 x 1/4-in screw in the mounting skirt screw tab on the
control panel. The screw passes through the mounting tab and into the skirt mounting
hole in the enclosure.
3. Tighten the screw to secure the control panel in the enclosure.

Notice!
Connect earth ground to the control panel before making any other connections.

3.2.2 Connect earth ground

To help prevent damage from electrostatic discharges or other transient electrical surges,
connect the system to earth ground before making other connections. The icon (Terminal
10) indicates the earth ground terminal. Use a recommended earth ground reference, such as
a grounding rod or a cold water pipe. Make the connection using 14 AWG (1.8 mm) to 16 AWG
(1.5 mm) wire.

Notice!
Do not use telephone or electrical ground for the earth ground connection. Do not connect
other control panel terminals to earth ground.

Caution!
Avoid electrostatic discharge. Always touch the earth ground connection with the icon first,
! before beginning work on the control panel.

3.2.3 Ground Fault Detect enable

To meet UL 864 requirements, enable Ground Fault Detect.
A ground fault is a circuit impedance to ground sufficient to result in the annunciation of a
trouble condition.
The control panel has a ground fault detection circuit that when enabled, detects ground
faults on Terminals 1 to 9 and 11 to 30.
If a ground fault condition occurs, the keypads annunciate a ground fault and the control panel
transmits a trouble message.
When the control panel recognizes that the ground fault condition is corrected, and remains
corrected for between 5 to 45 consecutive seconds, the control panel clears the fault from the
keypad display and sends a restoral report.
The control panel detects ground fault at ≤ 300 Ω.

2016.05 | 05 | F.01U.304.001 UL Installation Guide Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Control Panels Control panel installation | en 9

Enable Ground Fault Detect

To enable fault detection, use RPS. Refer to RPS Help.

3.2.4 Ground fault detection troubleshooting

Measure earth ground (Terminal 10) and common (Terminal 9) to determine whether the
control panel has the necessary -2.1 V decay to 0.

Measuring and comparing voltage for ground fault detection:

1. Set your digital voltmeter (DVM) to measure VDC.
2. Connect the red DVM lead to control panel Terminal 10, and the black DVM lead to
Terminal 9.
3. Compare this voltage to the following table:

Using interconnect wiring

Interconnect wiring connectors parallel the SDI2 terminals (27 through 30 (or 23 through 26 if
configured for SDI2)). In installations with multiple SDI2 modules, using interconnect wiring
makes the installation quicker and easier than using terminal strip wiring. You use any
combination of terminal and interconnect wiring to wire multiple modules in parallel, but do
not wire a single module to the control panel using both terminal and interconnect wiring.
The interconnect wiring connectors are "keyed" (interconnect wiring plug can fit in only one
direction).

12 en | Power supply Control Panels

4 Power supply
This section provides information on installing and maintaining primary power, batteries, and
auxiliary power.

4.1 Primary (AC) power

1 2
The control panel uses a 16.5 VAC, 40 VA, internally-fused transformer (D1640) for its primary
power source. The control panel draws 190 mA when idle and 265 mA when in the alarm
state.
The auxiliary power available for powered devices is 1.4 A.
Surge protection
Transient suppressors and spark gaps protect the circuit from power surges. This protection
relies on the ground connection at the earth ground terminal (Terminal 10), marked with the
icon. Ensure that you connect the terminal to a proper ground.
Refer to Connect earth ground, page 8.
AC power fail
The system indicates an AC power failure when the transformer input terminals do not have
sufficient voltage. The AC Fail Time parameter sets the amount of time without AC power
before the control panel reports the failure, and the amount of time after the power returns
before the control panel reports restored power.
When the control panel loses AC power long enough for the battery to become low, the
control panel adds a Battery Low event to the event log. If the battery continues to discharge
below the load shed threshold, the system ceases to operate and generates no further events.

4.1.1 Install the transformer

Caution!
Do not short-circuit the terminals of the transformer: Shorting the terminals opens the
! internal fuse, causing permanent failure. Connect the transformer to the control panel's AC
power terminals before plugging it into the power source.

Notice!
Plan ahead
Route telephone, SDI2 bus wiring, and sensor loop wiring away from any AC conductors,
including the transformer wire. AC wiring can induce noise and low level voltage into adjacent
wiring.

1. Use 18 AWG (1.02 mm) wire minimum (12 AWG [2 mm] maximum) and connect the
transformer to the control panel. Make the wire length as short as possible. Do not
exceed 50 ft (15 m).
2. Connect the wire to the control panel.
3. Connect the wire to the transformer.
4. Plug the transformer into an unswitched, 120 VAC, 60 Hz power outlet only.
5. Secure the transformer to the outlet with the screw provided (not applicable in
Cananda).

D8004 Transformer Enclosure required for fire systems

Use the D8004 Transformer Enclosure for the D1640 Transformer in fire and combined fire
and burglary applications.

Notice!
Check with the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ) about mounting transformers on specific
circuits.

4.2 Secondary (DC) power

4 5
A 12 V sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery (such as the D126/D1218) supplies secondary
power to maintain system operation during interruptions of primary (AC) power.

Notice!
Use sealed lead acid batteries only
The charging circuit is calibrated for lead-acid batteries. Do not use gel-cell or NiCad
batteries.

Extra batteries
To increase battery back-up time, connect a second 12 V battery in parallel to the first battery.
Use a D122/D122L Dual Battery Harness to ensure proper and safe connection.
Refer to Standby battery requirements and calculations.
D1218 Battery
The D1218 is a 12 V, 18 Ah battery for use in applications requiring extended battery standby
time. The control panel does not support more than 38 Ah of battery.

4.2.1 Install the battery

1. Place the battery upright in the base of the enclosure.
2. Locate the red and black leads supplied in the hardware pack.
3. Connect the black battery lead to Terminal 4 and then to the negative (-) side of the
battery.
4. Connect the red battery lead to Terminal 5, and then to the positive (+) side of the
battery.

Warning!
High current arcs are possible. The positive (red) battery lead and Terminal 5 can create high

! current arcs if shorted to other terminals or the enclosure. Use caution when working with
the positive lead and Terminal 5. Always disconnect the positive (red) lead from the battery
before removing it from Terminal 5.

Caution!
The battery terminals and wire are not power limited. Maintain a 0.250 in (6.4 mm) space
! between the battery terminals, battery wiring, and all other wiring. Battery wiring cannot
share the same conduit, conduit fittings, or conduit knockouts with other wiring.

4.2.3 Battery maintenance

Use 12 VDC sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery (7 Ah, 18 Ah, or 38 Ah). The control panel
supports up to 38 Ah of battery. If you use two batteries, they must have the same capacity
and you must connect them using the D122/D122L Dual Battery Harness.
Replace the batteries every 3 to 5 years. If you install two batteries, replace them both at the
same time.
Record the date of installation directly on the battery.

Caution!
Exceeding the maximum output ratings or installing the transformer in an outlet that is
! routinely switched off causes heavy discharges. Routine heavy discharges can lead to
premature battery failure.

4.2.4 Battery supervision

Low battery
If the control panel is programmed for power supervision, it sends a Battery Low report in the
Modem4 communication format or a Low System Battery (302) report in the Contact ID
format.
Missing battery
If the control panel is programmed for power supervision, it sends a Battery Missing/Dead
report in the Modem4 communication format, or a Control Panel Battery Missing (311) report
in the Contact ID format.
Battery restoral
When AC returns and the battery is charged, If the control panel is programmed for power
supervision, it sends a Low System Battery Restore report in the Modem4 communication
format or a Control Panel Battery Restored to Normal (302) report in the Contact ID format.

4.2.5 Battery charging circuit float charge

The float voltage for the battery charging circuit is 13.65 VDC when operating within load
range.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. UL Installation Guide 2016.05 | 05 | F.01U.304.001

16 en | Power supply Control Panels

Load shed
Load shed relay protects battery: During an AC power loss, the battery supplies all power to
the security system. If the battery voltage falls below 10.0 V during an AC power loss, a load
shed relay disconnects the battery from the control panel and disables the control panel. Load
shed protects the battery from being damaged by deep discharge.
When AC power restores, the load shed relay reconnects the charging circuit on the control
panel to the battery and the battery begins to recharge.
Over load with AC present
If devices draw more than 1.6 A of auxiliary current from the control panel with AC applied,
the control panel indicates a Panel Over-current system trouble. Unless corrected, this
condition prevents the control panel from properly maintaining the battery charge level, and
leaves the system vulnerable to failing during power outages.
To correct the issue, remove all loads to the control panel and disconnect the battery and AC
power. Fix the condition creating the over current and reconnect AC power.
A shorted battery condition (created either by a shorted cell inside the battery or by a short
on Terminals 4 and 5), might prevent the control panel from operating, or might cause the
control panel to detect a missing battery condition.

Caution!
Shorting the battery terminals is dangerous.

4.3.1 SDI2 address settings

Notice!
The module reads the address switch setting only during module power up. If you change the
setting after you apply power to the module, you must cycle the power to the module in order
for the new setting to take effect.

If multiple B520 modules reside on the same system, each B520 module must have a unique
address.

4.3.2 Supervision
The control panel supervises B520 Auxiliary Power Supply Modules on the SDI2 bus.
With any failure to receive an expected response from a B520, all keypads show a system
fault. The control panel sends a module trouble report to the central station (if configured for
module trouble reports).

4.3.3 Auxiliary power supply trouble conditions

Each auxiliary power supply module on the SDI2 bus monitors several conditions including AC
status, battery status, over current status, and a tamper input. Each of these conditions
produces a unique system trouble condition at all keypads. The control panel sends a module
trouble report to the central station (if configured for module trouble reports).

4.3.4 Installation and control panel wiring (B520)

The power supply draws approximately 15 mA (+/- 1 mA) from the control panel.
Ensure that there is enough power for the module and other powered devices you want
connected to the system.
Refer to On-board outputs, page 20.

Caution!
Remove all power (AC and battery) before making any connections. Failure to do so might
! result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.

Install the module

1. Set the module address using the address switches before you install it in the enclosure.
2. Insert the plastic mounting clips onto the appropriate standoff locations inside the
enclosure or on a mounting skirt, when required.
3. Mount the module onto the plastic mounting clips and then secure it using the supplied

5 On-board outputs
The control panel provides three powered relay outputs.

5.1 Circuit protection

The powered outputs come with circuit protection.
Four self-resetting circuit breakers protect the control panel from short circuits on the
continuous and programmable power outputs.
The self-resetting circuit breakers include:
– One self-resetting circuit breaker protects Terminal 3, auxiliary power.
– Another self-resetting circuit breaker protects:
– Terminal 6. Alarm power output
– Terminal 7. Alternate alarm power output
– Terminal 8. Switched auxiliary power

Notice!
A short circuit on one terminal disrupts power to the other two terminals.

– The third self-resetting circuit breaker protects Terminals 26 and 30, power +.
– The fourth self-resetting circuit breaker protects the ZONEX connection.

Notice!
UL requires any device powered from a power output to be supervised.

5.2 Total available power

The system produces up to 1.4 A of combined power at 12.0 VDC nominal. The outputs in this
section share the available power. These outputs appear as shown on the faceplate.

3
Auxiliary power
Power devices requiring continuous power.

6 Output A (1), Alarm power output

Programmable output normally open, power on alarm.

7 Output B (2), Alternate alarm power output

Programmable output normally open, power on alarm.

8 Output C (3), Switched auxiliary power

Programmable output normally closed, switches power off when the Sensor Reset command
is executed.

26 SDIx Power+ / R
Powers serial device interface (SDI) keypads, or use to power serial device interface 2 (SDI2)
devices, such as keypads and expansion modules.

2016.05 | 05 | F.01U.304.001 UL Installation Guide Bosch Security Systems, Inc.

Control Panels On-board outputs | en 21

30 SDI2 Power+ / R
Powers serial device interface 2 (SDI2) devices, such as keypads and expansion modules.

ZONEX Power
Powers ZONEX modules such as the D8125, D8128D, and D8129 connected through the B600.

5.3 Continuous power outputs

3 26 30
The continuous current draw for powered devices connected to Terminals 3, 26, and 30, and
the ZONEX connector must not exceed 1.4 A. Devices powered from these outputs operate at
12.0 VDC Nominal.

Notice!
Power Restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Use the Fire system power formula, page 22 to calculate the current available for fire and
combined fire and burglary systems

5.4 Programmable power outputs

6 7 8
The power outputs at Terminals 6, 7, and 8 are programmed as Outputs A (1), B (2), and C
(3).
Assign each output an output type (Fire Bell, for example), when assigning it to an area. You
can assign an output to one or more areas.
The defaults are:
– Output A (1) - Terminal 6 - as a Steady Alarm Bell output
– Output B (2) - Terminal 7 - as a Pulsed Fire Bell output
– Output C (3) - Terminal 8 - as a Verification or Reset output for smoke detectors
The Program Entry Guide contains complete instructions for programming outputs. Refer to
the Bell Parameters section of the program to set the Fire Bell, Alarm Bell output responses
for outputs. Four annunciation patterns are available: Steady, Pulsed, California Standard,
and Temporal Code 3.
If Terminals 6, 7, and 8 do not provide the expected output, check:
– The Outputs section of the program for Outputs A (1), B (2), and C (3).
– The Bell Parameters section of the program to confirm that the Alarm and Fire Bell
responses are programmed for the expected duration and pattern.
– The Point Assignments section to confirm that each point is programmed for the expected
local response.

5.4.1 Terminals 6 and 7

6 7
When activated, Terminals 6 (Output A) and 7 (Output B), provide a positive (+) 12.0 VDC
Nominal power output. Use the power at Terminals 6 and 7 to power bells, siren drivers,
piezoelectric fire sounders, electronic horns, or other devices.
Programming determines the format of the output and the conditions that activate it.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. UL Installation Guide 2016.05 | 05 | F.01U.304.001

22 en | On-board outputs Control Panels

When using Output A or Output B to activate notification appliance circuits in UL Listed fire
alarm applications, install a D192G Notification Appliance Circuit (NAC) Module.
Power restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Fire systems are prohibited from using the battery for supplying alarm power. Use the fire
system power formula that follows to calculate the current available for fire and combined fire
and burglary systems.
Fire system power formula
Calculating the current available at Terminals 6 and 7 for fire and combined fire and burglary
systems:
1. Add together the current draws for all devices connected to Terminals 3, 26, and 30, and
the ZONEX connector. This is the total current required for the normal standby condition
(NSC).
2. The current available for NSC is 1.4 A. Subtract the NSC current required calculated in
Step 1 from the NSC current available, 1.4 A. The difference is the alarm current available
for Terminals 6 and 7.
In formula format: 1.4 A – NSC current required (Step 1) = Alarm current available
Refer to Approved applications for module or accessory current requirements

5.4.2 Terminal 8

8
Terminal 8 provides continuous positive (+) 12.0 VDC Nominal power. Output C interrupts the
power at Terminal 8 when activated. Use Terminal 8 to power smoke detectors or other
devices that reset by interrupting power.
Verify and reset Output C
The default program sets Output C (Terminal 8) as a verification and reset output. Refer to
Output Parameters and Point Assignments in the control panel Program Entry Guide for
instructions on programming verification and resetting outputs and points.
Performing a sensor reset at a keypad produces a five-second activation of verification and
reset outputs. The control panel ignores verification and resettable points during the five
seconds.

5.5 USB power

3
USB
In addition to connecting RPS to the control panel for programming, you can use the USB port
on the control panel to power USB-powered devices.
When enabled, the USB port provides 500 mA of 5 V power, which it draws from the control
panel. Ensure that there is enough power for all the powered devices you want to connect to
the system.
Enable USB power by pressing the control panel RESET button 3 times, or using the keypad
Installer menu (refer to [7] USB Power). The USB POWER STATUS LED lights when power to
the USB is turned on. Press the control panel RESET button 3 times to turn power off, if
desired.
