Section 1.5 Connecting Earth Ground, page 5.

1.5 Connecting Earth Ground

1.5.1 Terminal 10
To help prevent damage from electrostatic charges or other transient electrical surges,
connect the system to earth ground at Terminal 10 before making other connections.
Recommended earth ground references are a grounding rod or a cold water pipe.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. UL Installation Instructions F.01U.266.058 | 01 | 2012.03

6 en | Installation Control Panels

WARNING!
Do not use telephone or electrical ground for the earth ground connection. Use 1.8 mm (14
AWG) to 1.5 mm (16 AWG) wire when making the connection. Do not connect other control
panel terminals to earth ground.

1.5.2 Ground Fault Detect Enable

NOTICE!
To meet UL 864 requirements, enable Ground Fault Detect.

A ground fault is a circuit impedance to earth ground. The control panel has a ground fault
detection circuit that, when enabled, detects ground faults on Terminals 1 to 9 and 11 to 32.
The control panel also detects and annunciates ground faults on any device connected to it.
If a ground fault condition occurs, the keypads display SERVC GND FAULT and the control
panel sends a GROUND FAULT TROUBLE, AREA 1. When the control panel recognizes that the
ground fault condition is corrected, and remains corrected for between 5 to 45 consecutive
seconds, a Restoral Report is sent.
NOTICE!
The GV4 Series Control Panels log and print a Ground Fault event as a Trouble Ground Fault if
communicating in Modem IIIa2 format. If communicating in Contact ID format, the D7212GV4
generates a Ground Fault (310) event.

1.5.3 Enabling Ground Fault Detection

To enable the Ground Fault Detect Enable feature, lock (close) the S4 Ground Fault Detect
Pin on the control panel (refer to Figure 1.2, Page 6).

Figure 1.2 Ground Fault Detect (S4)

1.5.4 GV4 Series Ground Fault Impedance Specifications

Table 1.1, Page 7 provides the impedance specifications for detecting ground faults when any
terminal or field wiring is shorted to ground.
Impedance Control Panel Detects Ground Fault
≤ 300 Ω Yes
300 Ω to 200 k Ω Detection depends upon the terminal
≥ 200 k Ω No

Table 1.1 Ground Fault Impedance Specifications

1.5.5 Locking the Reset Pin

Locking the reset pin disables the control panel (refer to Figure 1.3, Page 7). When the control
panel is disabled, the system ignores the keypads and points. CALL FOR SERVICE appears in
keypad displays when the pin is locked down.
On-board relays (Terminals 6 and 7) and off-board relays deactivate when the control panel is
reset. Terminal 8 has power when the relay is deactivated. Activation interrupts power at that
terminal. The on-board relay (Terminal 8) remains deactivated when the reset pin is locked in
the disable position.
Releasing the reset pin from the closed position resets the control panel. The control panel
resets all its timers, counters, indexes, and buffers. Any points that restore after a reset do
not generate Restoral Reports.
If the reset pin is placed in the disable position when all areas are armed, there must be an
entry in the Answer Armed program item. Refer to RPS Parameters in the D9412GV4/
D7412GV4/D7212GV4 Program Entry Guide (P/N: F01U218312).
Locking the pin in the disable position applies power to the control panel and charges the
battery while the detection devices and keypads are installed.
When the Reset Switch (labeled S1) is closed, all network communication modules will be
disabled. While in this mode, remote programming communication is only supported by the
communication module at SDI Address 88.

3 Power Supply and Power Outputs

3.1 Power Supply - Primary

3.1.1 Primary (AC) Power Circuit
The primary source is a 16.5 VAC, 40 VA, internally-fused transformer (Bosch Security
Systems, Inc. Model D1640). The control panel draws 225 mA when idle and 300 mA when in
an alarm state. The total available auxiliary current is 1.4 A. Transient suppressors and spark
gaps protect the circuit from power surges. This protection relies on the ground connection at
Terminal 10. Ensure that you connect Terminal 10 to a proper ground. Refer to
Section 1.5 Connecting Earth Ground, page 5.

AC Power Fail
The system indicates an AC power failure when Terminals 1 and 2 do not have power. The AC
Fail Time parameter sets the number of minutes or seconds without AC power before the
control panel acknowledges the failure and the number of minutes or seconds after the power
returns before the control panel acknowledges restored power.
Refer to the D9412GV4/D7412GV4/D7212GV4 Program Entry Guide (P/N: F01U218312) for
additional information about AC Fail Time and UL 864 requirements.

3.1.2 Installing the Transformer

NOTICE!
Do not short-circuit the terminals of the transformer. Shorting the terminals opens the
internal fuse, causing permanent failure. Connect the transformer to Terminals 1 and 2 of the
control panel before plugging it into the power source.

1. Use 1.22 mm (18 AWG) wire (minimum) to connect the transformer to the control panel.
The wire length should be as short as possible. The maximum length is 15 m (50 ft).
Connect the battery and plug in the transformer.
2. Route telephone and sensor loop wiring away from any AC conductors, including the
transformer wire.
AC wiring can induce noise and low level voltage into adjacent wiring. Route data wiring
away from AC and telephone wiring.

NOTICE!
Always connect the battery first and then plug in the transformer.

3. Connect the battery. Refer to Section 3.2.2 Installing the Battery, page 18.
4. Plug the transformer into an unswitched, 120 VAC 60 Hz power outlet only.
5. Secure the transformer to the outlet with the screw provided.

3.3 Power Outputs - Circuit Protection

Three self-resetting circuit breakers protect the control panel from short circuits on the
continuous and programmable power outputs. If the control panel is programmed for power
supervision and a short circuit occurs on one of the power outputs, the control panel sends a
BATTERY LOW or BATTERY MISSING for Bosch Security Systems Modem IIIa2 Communication
Format, or a Battery Missing/Dead (311) or Low System Battery (302) for Contact ID Format.
One self-resetting circuit breaker protects:
– Terminal 3: Auxiliary Power
– Terminal 24: Zonex Power.
NOTICE!
A short circuit on one terminal disrupts power to the other terminal.

Another self-resetting circuit breaker protects:

– Terminal 6: Alarm Power Output
– Terminal 7: Alternate Alarm Power Output
– Terminal 8: Switched Auxiliary Power.
NOTICE!
A short circuit on one of the terminals disrupts power to the other two terminals.

The third self-resetting circuit breaker protects Terminal 32: Power +.

NOTICE!
UL requires any device powered from a power output to be supervised.

NOTICE!
UL requires that power outputs are not shared between fire and non-fire devices unless all
devices are in conduit within 20 ft and are in the same room.

3.4 Power Outputs - Total Available Power

The system produces up to 1.4 A of combined power at 12.0 VDC Nominal for all powered
devices. The outputs listed below share the available power. These outputs are shown as red
circles on the faceplate.

32, and 36
The continuous current draw for powered devices connected to Terminals 3, 8, 24, 32, and
36, and the accessory connector must not exceed 1.4 A. Devices powered from these outputs
must operate at 12.0 VDC Nominal.
Power Restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Use the Fire System Power Formula to calculate the current available for fire and combined
fire and burglary systems (refer to Section 3.6 Power Outputs - Programmable Power Output
Terminals 6, 7, and 8, page 21).

3.6 Power Outputs - Programmable Power Output Terminals 6, 7,

and 8
3.6.1 Programming
The power outputs at Terminals 6, 7, and 8 are programmed as Relays A, B, and C. All relays
are programmed in the Relays section. Relays are assigned a relay type, (Fire Bell, for
example) when they are assigned to an area. Relays can be assigned to one or more areas.
The Bosch defaults set Relay A (Terminal 6) as a Steady Alarm Bell output, Relay B (Terminal
7) as a Pulsed Fire Bell output, and Relay C (Terminal 8) as a Verification or Reset output for
smoke detectors. The D9412GV4/D7412GV4/D7212GV4 Program Entry Guide (P/N:
F01U218312) contains complete instructions for programming relays. Refer to
Section 3.6.2 Terminals 6 and 7, page 21, Section 3.6.3 Fire System Power Formula, page 22,
and Section 3.6.4 Terminal 8, page 22 for descriptions of the functions of each terminal. Refer
to the Bell Parameters section of the program to set the Fire Bell, Alarm Bell output responses
for relays. Four annunciation patterns are available: Steady, Pulsed, California Standard, and
Temporal Code 3.

Voltage Output at Terminals 6, 7, and 8

If Terminals 6, 7, and 8 do not provide the expected output, check:
– Programming for Relays A, B, and C in the relays section of the program.
– Bell Parameters section of the program to confirm that the Alarm and Fire Bell responses
are programmed for the expected duration and pattern.
– Point Assignments section to confirm that each point is programmed for the expected
local response.

3.6.2 Terminals 6 and 7

When activated, Terminals 6 (Relay A) and 7 (Relay B), provide positive (+) 12.0 VDC Nominal
power output. Use the power at Terminals 6 and 7 to power bells, siren drivers, piezoelectric
fire sounders, electronic horns, or other devices.
Programming determines the format of the output and the conditions that activate it. One
self-resetting circuit breaker protects Terminals 6, 7, and 8 against shorts. When using Relay A
or Relay B to activate notification appliance circuits in UL Listed fire alarm applications, install
a D192G Indicating Circuit Module.

Bosch Security Systems, Inc. UL Installation Instructions F.01U.266.058 | 01 | 2012.03

Available Power
The system combines the 1.4 A of primary power produced by the power supply with the
secondary power source (the battery) to produce a total of 2.0 A of alarm power at 12.0 VDC
Nominal. Terminals 6 and 7 share the available alarm power.

Power Restricted for Fire and Combined Fire and Burglary Systems
Fire systems are prohibited from using the battery for determining alarm power. Use the fire
system power formula described in Section 3.6.3 Fire System Power Formula, page 22 to
calculate the current available for fire and combined fire and burglary systems.

3.6.3 Fire System Power Formula

To calculate the current available at Terminals 6 and 7 for fire and combined fire and burglary
systems:
1. Add together the current draws for all devices connected to Terminals 3, 8, 24, and 32,
and the accessory connector. This is the total current required for the normal standby
condition (NSC).
2. The current available for NSC is 1.4 A. Subtract the NSC current required calculated in
Step 1 from the NSC current available, 1.4 A. The difference is the alarm current available
for Terminals 6 and 7.
In formula format:
1.4 A - NSC current required (Step 1) = Alarm current available
Refer to the D9412GV4/D7412GV4/D7212GV4 Approved Applications Compliance Guide (P/N:
F01U201525) for module or accessory current requirements.

3.6.4 Terminal 8
Terminal 8 provides continuous positive (+) 12.0 VDC Nominal power. Relay C interrupts the
power at Terminal 8 when activated. Use Terminal 8 to power smoke detectors or other
devices that are reset by interrupting power. One self-resetting circuit breaker protects
Terminals 6, 7, and 8 against shorts.

Verification/Reset Relay
The default program sets Relay C (Terminal 8) as a verification and reset relay. Refer to Relay
Parameters and Point Assignments in the D9412GV4/D7412GV4/D7212GV4 Program Entry Guide
(P/N: F01U218312) for instructions on programming verification/reset relays and points.
Performing a sensor reset at a keypad produces a five-second relay activation of verification/
reset relays. The control panel ignores verification and reset points during the five-second
relay activation.
