Basic System Operation
The Bosch Solution 6000 allows for easy arming and disarming, offering distinct modes – Home, Away, and Night – to tailor security to your needs.
Arming and Disarming the System
The Bosch Solution 6000 system provides multiple methods for arming and disarming, ensuring user convenience and security. Users can utilize PIN codes entered on the keypad, or remotely manage the system via the mobile app.
To arm, select the desired mode (Away, Stay/Home, or Night) and enter a valid user PIN. Disarming requires entering the correct PIN code within the designated timeframe to prevent false alarms.
Always confirm the system status displayed on the control panel after arming or disarming to verify successful operation.
Understanding System Modes (Home, Away, Night)
The Bosch Solution 6000 offers three primary operating modes: Home, Away, and Night, each tailored to different security needs. Away mode arms all sensors, ideal when the premises are unoccupied. Home (or Stay) mode secures the perimeter while allowing movement inside.
Night mode is designed for nighttime use, typically arming perimeter sensors and internal motion detectors.
Users can customize sensor configurations for each mode to optimize security and minimize false alarms based on their lifestyle and preferences.
Responding to Alarms
Upon alarm activation, the Bosch Solution 6000 immediately sounds both internal and external sirens, and potentially a strobe light, depending on configuration. The system logs the event with a timestamp and zone identification.
Users should immediately verify the alarm’s cause – a false alarm or genuine intrusion.
Contact the monitoring station (if applicable) and local authorities if a genuine emergency exists. Disarming requires entering a valid user PIN code.
User Management
The Bosch Solution 6000 allows authorized administrators to add, delete, and modify user PIN codes, enhancing system security and access control capabilities.
Adding New Users
To add a new user to the Bosch Solution 6000 system, access the programming menu with the master PIN code. Navigate to the user management section and select the option to add a new user. You will be prompted to enter a unique user name and assign a personal identification number (PIN) code.
Ensure the PIN code is memorable for the user but not easily guessable. Confirm the entered information and save the new user profile. The system will then recognize the new user’s credentials for access and operation.
Deleting Users
To remove a user from the Bosch Solution 6000 system, first access the programming menu using the master PIN code. Navigate to the user management section and select the option to delete a user. A list of currently registered users will appear; choose the user you wish to remove.
The system will likely ask for confirmation to prevent accidental deletion. Confirm the removal, and the user’s access privileges will be revoked. Ensure proper authorization before deleting any user profiles.
Changing User PIN Codes
To modify a user’s PIN code within the Bosch Solution 6000 system, access the programming menu with the master PIN. Select the user management section, then choose the option to change a user’s PIN. You’ll need to enter the existing PIN, followed by the new, desired PIN code – typically four or six digits.
Confirm the new PIN to ensure accuracy. Regularly updating PINs enhances system security and prevents unauthorized access.
Programming and Configuration
The Bosch Solution 6000 allows customization of settings like date, time, and system sensitivity through a dedicated programming menu accessible with a master PIN.
Accessing the Programming Menu
To enter the programming mode on your Bosch Solution 6000 system, you’ll need the master PIN code, typically provided by your installer. Navigate through the user interface – often via the keypad – and locate the “Programming” or “Settings” option.
Enter the master PIN when prompted. Successful entry grants access to a range of configurable parameters. Be cautious when altering settings, as incorrect adjustments can affect system functionality. Always document any changes made for future reference and potential troubleshooting.
Setting the Date and Time
Accurate date and time settings are crucial for correct event logging and system operation. Within the programming menu, locate the “Date & Time” section. Use the keypad or touchscreen to adjust the month, day, year, hour, and minute.
Confirm each entry carefully. The system typically uses a 24-hour clock format. Ensure the time zone is correctly configured to reflect your location. Incorrect settings can lead to inaccurate timestamps on alarm events and system reports.
Adjusting System Sensitivity
System sensitivity determines how easily detectors trigger an alarm. Access the programming menu and navigate to the “Sensitivity” settings for each zone. Higher sensitivity increases the chance of false alarms from minor disturbances, while lower sensitivity may miss genuine threats.
Carefully adjust each zone’s sensitivity based on its environment. Consider factors like pet activity or nearby traffic. Test the system after adjustments to ensure optimal performance and minimize false alarms.
Advanced Features
Bosch Solution 6000 provides comprehensive testing options for sirens (internal & external) and strobe lights, ensuring full system functionality and reliable alarm notification.
Testing the External Siren
To verify the functionality of the external siren, access the testing menu within the Bosch Solution 6000 system. Initiate the external siren test; the siren should activate and produce a clearly audible alarm sound.
Ensure the siren’s volume is sufficient for the surrounding environment. If the siren fails to activate or the volume is inadequate, immediately contact your security system installer for assistance. Regular testing, as part of system maintenance, confirms reliable operation during emergencies.
Testing the Internal Siren
The Bosch Solution 6000 system includes an internal siren for localized alarm notification. Access the testing function through the system’s menu to activate the internal siren. A loud, distinct sound should emanate from the control panel, confirming its operational status.
Verify the sound is clearly audible within the premises. If the internal siren doesn’t sound or the volume is low, contact your installer. Consistent testing ensures this vital component functions correctly during a security event, providing immediate awareness.
Testing the Strobe Light
The Bosch Solution 6000 system may include a strobe light for visual alarm indication, particularly useful for those with hearing impairments. Initiate the strobe light test via the system’s programming menu. A bright, flashing light should activate, confirming functionality.
Ensure the strobe light is visible in key areas. If the light doesn’t flash or appears dim, contact your installer for assistance. Regular testing guarantees this visual alert operates effectively, enhancing overall system responsiveness during an alarm event.
