To set the control panel poll rate by the hour, ensure that the D6x00 Receiver has D6200CD V1.35 firmware or later. Because the Bosch D6x00 Receivers only have hours and seconds settings, the receiver would have to be set to 4 hours instead of 3 hours and 30 min. The receiver can only support up to 255 sec maximum for the ACK wait time.
Other factors such as the number of session timeouts can increase data usage. Based on 60 sec polling and 5 events/day, you can expect to use ~5 MB of data per month not including RPS usage. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. Installation and Operation Guide F01U163066 | 01 | 2010.05...

To reduce problems as conditions change, use the highest installation location possible. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. recommends a signal strength level of Good or higher for all installations. Refer to Table 3.1, Page 16 for signal strength measurements.
Marginal RF Signal Description: Marginal signal strength: -89 dBm to -83 dBm. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. recommends trying to improve the signal further because this signal strength is near unacceptable levels. Poor weather and other environmental conditions can make this signal unacceptable. This signal level results in a trouble condition if the low signal strength setting for the ITS-DX4020-G is enabled.
