I nt roduc t i o n
Your system helps to secure life, property and investments
against fire, theft and bodily harm. It consists of a keypad
(or keypads), sensors such as motion detectors or devices
located on doors and windows, and other sensing devices
designed to detect the presence of smoke or combustion.
The location and quantity of sensing devices will have
already been discussed with you by your alarm installer.
Control of your security system is achieved through the
unique ICON keypad, which displays all system information
using Icon Symbols with text prompts for most common
functions. Its versatility and ease of operation, make it
ideal for any home or business application.

Us e r 's G u i d e
This user's guide shows you how to use and maintain
your security system. It covers basic functions, such as
turning the system on and off as well as some general
programming. More complex programming and system
configuration should be performed by your installer.
Many of the programming functions described in this
guide will have already been programmed by your alarm
installer while others may need to be programmed or
changed by you. Depending on your particular system
configuration some features described in this manual
may not be available. Please discuss this with your alarm
installer.
Functions outlined in this user guide may require you to
enter your PIN (Personal Identification Number) so make
sure you choose a number that is easy to remember. For
security reasons do not write this code down or give it to
anyone else. If more than one person needs to operate the
system then you should create a unique code for them if
this has not been done by your installer. This guide will
explain how to do this.
Please take the time to familiarise your self with the
Bosch Security Systems 6/09 BLCC500U FTR1.03
following terms before reading the rest of this guide.
Zones
A 'Zone' is a detection device, or group of devices connected
to your security system. Zones are identified by the area
they monitor, such as a front door, bedroom window or
hallway.
Faulted Zones
When a zone (such as a door or window) is closed, it is
said to be 'normal' . When the door or window is open, the
zone is said to be 'faulted' . When you turn your system
on, you will usually want all of the zones in your system
to be normal, although, you can turn your system on with
faulted zones.
Zones Types
There are two basic types of zones, Non 24-hour and 24-
hour. See below.
Non 24-Hour Zones
Non 24-hour zones respond to alarm conditions
depending upon whether the system is turned on or off.
They are programmed to either respond instantly to alarm
conditions or to provide a delay for you to reach the keypad
and turn the system off. Various zones will be located
throughout your premises.
When you turn your system on, you have the option of
turning on all zones (All On), or just some of the zones (Part
On). Refer to "Turning An Area All On" and "Turning An Area
Part On / Part 2 On" on page 8 for more information.
Bypassed Zones
A zone which has been bypassed will remain unarmed
when the system is armed. You may need to bypass a
zone when doing renovations in the building or if a sensor
becomes faulty. Bypassed zones will reset the next time
the system is disarmed.
24-Hour Zones
24-hour zones are always on and cannot be turned off,
even when the system is turned off (disarmed). There are
two types of 24-hour zones, fire zones and non-fire zones.
What Is An Area?
The Solution 16i control panel comes defaulted and
programmed for a single area configuration (Area 1),
therefore, all zones are assigned to Area 1. The alarm
system can be divided into 4 individual areas running
off the same control panel. In this case, your installation
company would assign different sensors (zones) to each
area according to the section of the bulding they are in.
Example:
Partitioning a commercial business to 4 individual areas
may be as follows:
Area 1 – Main entry/exit area
Area 2 – Sales
Area 3 – Administration
Area 4 – Dispatch
Each area can be controlled individually as if they were
separate alarm systems.
