Control Panels
Event log
The event log stores local and reported events. The event log includes information such as
time, date, event, area, point, and user. View the event log from a keypad or use RPS to
remotely retrieve event information. When the event log reaches a programmed threshold of
stored events, it can send an optional report to a receiver.
B9512G control panels store up to 10,192 events. B8512G control panels store up to 2048.

Programming

Use RPS to program the control panels. You can connect to the control panel using a network
connection (on-board Ethernet port, cellular module, B426 Conettix Ethernet Communication
Module, or telephone module), or locally using the control panel's on-board Ethernet port or
USB port. (To program with the USB port connection, use the B99 USB 2.0 Type A Male to
Type A Male cable by Bosch.) You can also use a keypad for select programming.
Refer to RPS Help or the control panel's Program Entry Guide, and to Keypad Installer menu,
page 115 for programming options.
Notice!
After system installation and any control panel programming, perform a complete system test
(a UL 864 requirement). A complete system test includes testing the control panel, all
devices, and communication destinations for proper operation.

Ground fault detection

The earth ground Terminal 10
terminals to allow the control panel to detect ground fault conditions. Ground Fault Detect is
configured in programming.
3.3.11

Dual authentication

With Dual Authentication enabled, the control panel requires two forms of identification
before processing certain system commands, including turning off the system and opening
doors.
A standard system user must have a passcode, a credential (token or card), and appropriate
command authority permissions assigned in the door and keypad's assigned area. When
enabled at a keypad, only the following Passcode Functions require access credentials with
passcode entry: Turn On/Turn Off, Cycle Door (Grant Access), Cycle Output, and Auto Re-arm.
Notice!
Plan ahead
To use Dual Authentication with access control, install a keypad close to the door controller
for user convenience.
