Keypad Assignment Programming; Emergency Key Programming; Custom Arming Programming; Force Arming - Bosch DS7400Xi Reference Manual

- For example: When using only one partition, it is partition one.
When using three partitions, they are partitions one, two, and
three.
- Partitioning allows the system to act as up to 8 different
systems.
- Zones, keypads, outputs, and other items may be assigned to
particular partitions.
- Access to partitions may be through each partition's keypad
or through a Master keypad (see the User's Guide P/N: 43851
for more details).
• Common Area: Partition 1 can be programmed as a common
area, that is, common to other partitions. This allows it to be
used in an installation with one common entry area such as a
foyer or vestibule.
- When Partition 1 is programmed as a common area, it will
only arm when all the partitions it is common to are armed.
- The common area will disarm when any of the partitions it is
common to are disarmed - only if the user has access to the
common area.
- When using a common area, a Master keypad should be used
and assigned to the common area (see keypad assignment
programming).
6.6

Keypad Assignment Programming

• Keypad Assignment: The keypad type and the partition it is
assigned to must be programmed.
- Each program address (3131-3138) programs the keypad
type for two keypads. For example: for address 3131, data
digit 1 is for keypad 1, data digit 2 is for keypad 2.
- Each program address (3139-3146) programs the partition
assignment for two keypads. For example: for address 3139,
data digit 1is for the partition assignment of keypad 1, data
digit 2 is for the partition assignment of keypad 2.
- Users must have access to the partition the keypad is assigned
to in order to use the keypad.
• Master Keypad Programming : A Master keypad can be used
to access all the partitions.
- It will display the arm/disarm status of all the partitions and
can be used to individually control each partition (see section
7.6).
- A Master keypad can be assigned to any of the partitions.
- Any number of the 15 allowable keypads can be a Master
keypad.
- When using the common area, it is suggested that a Master
keypad be used and that it is assigned to the common area.

Emergency Key Programming

NOTE: Do not label these keys if they are unprogrammed. Only
the "A" key may be programmed and labeled as the Fire
key. These keys are not intended to substitute for Listed
manual pull boxes.
• Fire Key: The emergency key (key A) at the bottom left of the
keypad entry area is the Fire Key. If programmed, the key will
activate a fire alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
- It may be programmed for a steady or pulsed alarm.
NOTE: The Fire Key will generate the fire alarm sounders in the
partition that activated the Fire Key. Any other partitions in
use will only have their keypad sounders activated. All
keypad displays will be the same.
• Special Emergency Key: The emergency key (key B) at the
bottom center of the keypad entry area is the Special Emergency
Page 22 P/N: F01U035325-01
Key.
- If programmed, the key will activate a supplementary or an auxiliary
type alarm when pressed for 2 seconds.
- It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
• Panic Key: The emergency key (key C) at the bottom right of the
keypad entry area is the Panic Key.
- If programmed, the key will activate a panic alarm when
pressed for 2 seconds; nothing will display at the keypad to
indicate an alarm.
- It may be programmed for a silent, steady, or pulsed alarm.
NOTE:
6.8
• Custom Arming - [PIN ] + [#] [4]: If programmed, the [PIN] + [#]
+ [4] command sequence may be used to custom arm the system
by arming only certain zone functions.
- For example: All interior zones plus some perimeter zones
may be bypassed while leaving some of the perimeter armed.
6.9
• Force Arming: If programmed, allows violated zones to be force
armed. When force arming, the user must enter the usual arming
command followed by the [Bypass] key. This automatically
bypasses zones that are violated and programmed as
bypassable.
- Fire zones, supervisory zones, keyswitch zones, waterflow
zones, and non-bypassable zones can not be force armed.
- Not available in UL Listed systems.
- See Program Address 2732.
6.10
• Ground Fault: If programmed, this function will allow the system
to detect ground faults. This function is required for fire panels
and will be forced on when the panel is in the commercial fire
mode.
- See Program Address 2732.
6.11
NOTE:
• Commercial Fire Mode: When in Commercial Fire Mode, the
control panel will perform some functions (e.g. communications)
differently to conform with commercial fire regulations.
- See Commercial Fire Mode Programming, program address
2733.
• Water Flow Zone Delay: This is the amount of time a water flow
zone must be violated before the control panel will initiate an
alarm.
- The delay is necessary to accommodate normal changes in
water pressure.
- If the water flow initiating device incorporates its own time
delay, do not program the control panel unit to exceed 120
seconds combined time delay.

The Special Emergency Key and the Panic Key will gen-
erate the alarm sounders only in the partition of the key-
pad that activated that Key.

Commercial Fire Mode Programming

In a system that includes both fire alarm and burglar alarm
devices, the system must produce distinct sounds for fire
and burglar alarm conditions either by using different in-
dicating appliances or by using distinct cadences for the
same appliance.
