What to do if I am unable to arm my Bosch Security System?
If you're having trouble arming your Bosch Security System, it could be due to a zone that is faulted. Identify and resolve the issue with the zone. Alternatively, if there's an AC power failure, you'll need to force arm the system. To do this, start the arming sequence and then press the Bypass key during the 5-second beep.
Why does my Bosch Security System keypad display 'Not Ready' with no zone number?
If your Bosch Security System keypad displays 'Not Ready' without showing a zone number, it means an invisible zone is not ready. To find out which zone, press [PIN] + [OFF]. This will display the zone number that's causing the issue.
What does '#87 display = Battery Trouble' mean on my Bosch DS7400Xi Security System?
If your Bosch Security System keypad shows '#87 display = Battery Trouble', it could mean a few things: the battery failed a test, the battery is defective, or the wiring to the battery is disconnected. If there was a recent power failure, wait a couple hours for the battery to recharge, then perform a System Reset to re-test and clear the error. If that doesn't work, replace the battery, and check the wiring.
Why does every other zone display 'Not Ready' on my Bosch DS7400Xi?
If every other zone displays 'Not Ready' on your Bosch Security System, it means the Zone Programming is incorrect. Program as a multiple zone input for DS7432 or DS7460, a single zone input for contacts and sensors, or program as a DS7465.
Why is the communicator test report not being sent from my Bosch DS7400Xi Security System?
If the communicator test report isn't being sent from your Bosch Security System, it could be due to a couple of reasons. The report may not be programmed properly. Check programming addresses 4022, 4023, 4026, and 3340. Also, if there was a control problem at the time the report should have been sent, the communicator test report won't be sent. Instead, the control will send the “System Off Normal” report. Program the “System Off Normal” report in address 3347.
Why does my Bosch Security System display Fire Alarm but no zone numbers on the keypad?
If your Bosch Security System keypad displays a Fire Alarm but no zone numbers, it's because in Commercial Fire Mode, fire alarms must be silenced before the zone number will display. Enter a valid disarm PIN and press #, then enter a valid disarm PIN and press # again to display the zones.
Why some functions don’t work on a Master keypad of Bosch DS7400Xi Security System?
Some functions on your Bosch Security System require you to enter single partition mode when using a Master keypad. The following commands require that you are in Single Partition Mode when entering from a Master keypad: • History read-back • Chime mode • Checking zone status • Checking zone trouble status (after #87 - Master keypad will show only partition name) • Bypassing zones.
Why can't I perform a zone test (#81) on my Bosch DS7400Xi?
You can't perform a zone test on your Bosch Security System if you're entering from a Master keypad, or if you're not using a PIN with test authority. Use a PIN with test authority.
Why is my Bosch Security System not sending open or close reports?
If your Bosch Security System isn't sending open or close reports, it's likely due to incorrect programming. Check addresses 3331, 3332, 3334, and 3333 to ensure they are correctly configured.
