BRINKS BHS-2000A ALARM CONTROL PANEL AND DCU-602B SYSTEM CONTROL
STATION
INTRODUCTION
The BHS-2000A Burglar and Fire Alarm Security System is a microprocessor based Alarm Control Panel
(ACP) which offers sophisticated alarm control, detection and reporting functions at a price considerably
less than other panels with similar features. The panel which is housed in rugged steel cabinet, contains no
user indicators or switches therefore its installation location can be chosen to make the hookup wiring more
convenient. The BHS-2000A ACP contains 8 individually programmable zones of protection (detection
loops). All zones use a 4.7K ohm End-of Line (EOL) resistor for supervision unless otherwise
programmed. The 8 programmable zones can be configured to function as any one of 14 different types of
detection circuits including fire.
The BHS Series ACP also contains an integral 32 channel, multi-format digital communicator that is
compatible with most major brand receivers. {BHS-2000A reports in SIA only}. With its extended data
reporting capabilities, it can send more than 1000 different alarm and status reports to the Alarm
Monitoring Center (AMC). The desired system configuration, optional features and other operation
characteristics of both the ACP and the digital communicator are programmed into a EEPROM
(Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory). The panel is shipped pre-programmed with
standard features which may be changed. With an optional Programming Display Module (PGM-670). The
BHS-2000A may also be programmed remotely over the telephone using PRISM II along with an IBM AT
or compatible. Using PRISM II Software multiple panel programs may be programmed from Sctatch or
from templates and either automatically or manually downloaded in a manner of seconds.
The same software/modem combinations may be used to bypass a swinging contact, or access Alarm
Memory information of the last alarm events along with present System status or disconnect service to a
non paying client.
The BHS-2000A ACP has a built in alarm siren driver for local alarm sounding purposes, as well as all of
the other optional features normally required in a modem state-of the art-plus security system.
