Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Installation Guide 2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701
System Overview
The coordinator provides communication between the Central Console software and the many
receivers throughout the protected area. The receiver detects alarm signals from the
transmitter, and sends the signal to the coordinator either by wired RS-485 or through
wireless radio frequency. The coordinator forwards this information to the Central Console
software over wired Ethernet (TCP/IP), where the alarm will be processed accordingly. Each
coordinator (with its built-in receiver) also includes two analog inputs which support 4 state
supervised modes, and drivers for two relay outputs.
The receiver is designed to work with the Security Escort system throughout a protected area,
including building interiors. Each receiver contains a radio receiver to detect the transmissions
from transmitters, and a microcomputer to decode and interpret test and alarm messages.
Multiple receivers detect the same transmission and send the signal information to the
coordinator, so that the system can identify the transmitting information, including the device
and location. The receiver also monitors housing tampering and radio jamming, and reports
them to the coordinator.
Indoor coordinators/receivers are typically mounted on inside walls, and have one red and one
green LED. The green LED is used to indicate a successful test of a personal transmitter. The
red LED is illuminated during alarms. Each coordinator/receiver contains a piezo-electric
buzzer that can be activated if an alarm transmission is detected.
Outdoor coordinators/receivers are contained in small weatherproof boxes, typically mounted
on the sides of buildings and on light posts. Outdoor coordinators/receivers do not have the
visible red and green LED’s. For outdoors, the relay outputs can be connected to devices to be
used to acknowledge successful tests and alarms.

2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Mounting the Device
Choose a mounting location based on the previous site survey. Mount the coordinator/receiver
as close as possible to the location found with the test coordinator/receiver. Use the following
sections as a guideline for coordinator/receiver mounting and spacing.
Indoor installation
Select a mounting location that:
– provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area, if possible.
– is at least 31 cm (1 ft.) away from metal objects such as HVAC ducts.
– is on an inside wall, if possible.
– is 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor.
– is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on.
– is not damaged by tampering or opening doors.
Spacing
Coordinator/receiver spacing should be no more than 25 m (80 ft.) between each coordinator/
receiver for standard construction. Range depends on the construction of the building. For
example, a building with hollow drywalls may support 25 m (80 ft.) spacing, but a building
with steel reinforced concrete may require reduced spacing. It is very important to maintain a
consistent spacing as this ensures optimum signal locating. The better the coordinator/
receivers can detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating.
Mounting height
Mount coordinator/receivers 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor. Maintain a consistent
mounting height to ensure optimum signal locating. Do not place coordinator/receivers close
to the ceiling. This places them closer to the floor above reducing the floor-to-floor location
accuracy. It is also helpful to place the coordinator/receivers somewhat higher on the top floor
to be covered and somewhat lower on the bottom floor to be covered.
Multi-floor installations
Mount coordinator/receivers over one another in multi-floor installations. This helps maintain
proper floor-to-floor reception.

Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Installation Guide 2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701
Outdoor installation
Select a mounting location that:
– provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area.
– is away from metallic objects such as chain-link fences and electrical transformers. If
coverage is required near such items, perform testing near them to determine the
potential need for additional receivers.
– is 3 m (10 ft.) above grade.
– is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on.
– is easy to service.
– is not damaged by tampering.
Spacing
Mount coordinators/receivers every 90 m (300 ft.). It is very important to maintain spacing as
consistent as possible to ensure optimum signal locating. The more the coordinators/receivers
can detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating. Make sure each coordinator/
receiver has a clear line-of-sight of the intended protection area.
Mounting height
Mount coordinators/receivers 3 m (10 ft.) above grade. Maintain a mounting height that is as
consistent as possible to ensure optimum signal locating.
Overhangs/eaves
Coordinator/receiver locations should be below building overhangs and eaves. Most
transmissions occur 1 m (a few feet) above grade. Therefore, mounting above overhangs and
eaves can result in inaccurate signal locating. Be especially careful around metal roofs as
these can block the signal.
Pre-wired installations
When mounting the enclosure to a pre-wired electrical box, make sure that the electrical box
has a 15.2 cm (6 in.) overhead clearance. The enclosure should be mounted as shown in figure
below.
Notice!
The enclosure does not currently support octagonal electrical boxes.

Power supply connector
The coordinator/receivers can be powered by an external 12V DC input. It consists of two
terminals: one of which is used to provide the positive input, and the other the negative input.
The operating input voltage range is 10.8 – 13.2V.
Figure 4.2: Power Supply Connector
Power over Ethernet (PoE) connector
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is applicable to coordinators only. Receivers do not have the
Ethernet interface ports. The coordinators can be powered by PoE without needing an
external DC input. The PoE connector is identified by the label PoE Ethernet on the
coordinator. Connect the PoE using the standard Cat 5e Ethernet cable and above. PoE
provides the maximum total power of 12.95 Watt to the coordinator, and complies with the
IEEE802.3af class 0 standard.
The coordinator also sends any received data from the receivers or transmitters to the Central
Console Software via the Ethernet cable. The coordinator is pre-configured with the following
default IP settings:
IP Settings Value
IP Address 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
Port 20000
Table 4.1: Default IP Settings of Coordinator
The default settings can be changed using the Utility Tool from the Security Escort software.
See the Security Escort Installation and Setup Manual for more information.
RS-485 communication connector
The coordinator and receivers can communicate with each other using the RS-485 interface.
The communication connector is identified by their 3 terminal points, namely A, GND and B.
The recommended data transmission speed is 19200 bps @ 1km (default) and 115 kbps @
500m. For outdoor installations, the recommended wiring for RS-485 communication is
shielded twisted-pair.

RS-485 jumpers
The coordinator and receivers use RS-485 multi-drop communication channels between the
device boards. It is necessary to include end-of-line jumper settings on the last receiver to
have a stable communication channel (see Setting the jumpers for RS-485 communication loop,
page 24). The jumper blocks are identified as J5 on the coordinator/receiver.
Input connectors
Two 2-pin connectors on the left side of the coordinator/receiver provide terminal points for
wiring from input devices. The terminal strips are identified as Input1 and Input2 on the
coordinator/receiver. There are two terminals for each input point.
Figure 4.4: Input Connectors
Each input point supports four-state supervised mode. To detect the four states, there are
special values allowed for potential drop depending on the resistors used. The coordinator/
receiver can also detect short and open wiring conditions and initiate an alarm if the
appropriate devices are connected.
Figure 4.5: Circuit Diagram for Resistors
RS = RP = 2.2 kΩ ¼W
Output connectors
Two 3-pin connectors provide terminal points for connection of external devices. The
connectors are identified as OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the coordinator/receiver. The output
terminals are Form-C type relay dry contacts. For each relay, Normally Closed (NC), Normally
Open (NO) and Common (C) terminals are provided.

– the LED blinks in pink every 3 seconds
– Coordinator/receiver communicating via RF when RS-485 is not working
– the LED blinks in green for any transmission events if the signal strength is excellent
– the LED blinks in blue for any transmission events if the signal strength is average
– the LED blinks in red for any transmission events if the signal strength is poor
– If there is no communication between the coordinator and receiver, the LED does not
light up.
Notice!
The power supply, PoE and tricolor LEDs are only visible if you remove the casing enclosure.
Tamper switch
To protect the coordinator/receiver against unauthorized access, an additional interface to
detect tamper contact is used. The tamper switch is triggered when the coordinator/receiver
is not covered in the casing enclosure. This event is monitored and reported to the Central
Console Software where any subsequent actions are determined by the configured software
settings. It is recommended that the coordinator/receiver should be covered in the casing at
all times.
Reset button
A reset button is available on the coordinator/receiver. This button can be used to perform a
hard or soft factory reset based on the associated dip switch setting (see Selecting the hard/
soft reset mode, page 21). Depending on the hard or soft reset, pressing it will clear specific
sets of configuration for the device. For more information, please refer to Resetting the

Notice!
It is recommended to power off the coordinator/receiver before you change the dip switch
settings. Upon completing the changes, power up the devices. The new settings will only take
into effect once the coordinator/receiver completed a power reset cycle.
Setting the loop address
Use the address dip switch to configure the RS-485 loop address of the receiver. Each
coordinator/receiver on a loop must have its own unique address. Only addresses 0 through
15 are valid.
The coordinator always uses address 0. You do not need to set the address for the
coordinator. Therefore, the dip switch SW1 used for setting addresses is not available on the
coordinator. The receivers use addresses 1 to 15. Set the address using dip switch SW1.

Enable/disable the transmit mode
Transmit mode can be used to verify the maximum acceptable spacing of receivers from the
coordinator using the radio frequency communication. When the transmit mode is enabled on
the receiver, it will communicate with the coordinator continuously. Enable or disable the
transmit mode by setting switch number 2 on dip switch SW3. Transmit mode is disabled by
default, where switch number 2 is set to the OFF position. To enable the transmit mode, set
switch number 2 on dip switch SW3 to the ON position.

Table 5.8: Enable or disable the transmit mode on dip switch SW3
The following is applicable when using the radio frequency as the communication channel.
Transmit Mode is enabled with switch number 2 of dip switch 3 on the AT receiver (see the
ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver Installation Guide). Only transmissions with an adequate
receive margin will light up the green LEDs. This indicates the maximum acceptable spacing of
the AT receiver.
To test the spacing of the receivers:
1. Activate the spacing mode on the coordinator (see Enable/disable the spacing mode, page
22). Set switch number 1 on dip switch SW3 to the ON position.

2. Activate the transmit mode on the receiver. Set switch number 2 on dip switch SW3 to
the ON position. Power the receiver from a 12 VDC source. The receiver will start
transmitting messages to the coordinator continuously. This communication is indicated
by the blinking LED.
3. If the receiver is within the range, the LED will continue to blink. Move the receiver away
from the coordinator until the green LED stops blinking. This indicates that the receiver is
now beyond the maximum range. Move back to the last location where the coordinator is
able to receive the transmission from the receiver. This location marks the maximum
spacing between the coordinator and the receiver. The distance between the coordinator
and the receiver should not exceed 25 m (80 ft.) indoors and 90 m (300 ft.) outdoors.

Setting the jumpers for RS-485 communication loop
For RS-485 communication, it is necessary to include the end of line jumper settings on the
last receiver to have a stable communication channel. Set the jumper for the coordinator and
the last receiver as of below:
1. For the coordinator, locate the jumper block J5 and set the jumper over the jumper pins 1
and 2 (default setting on coordinators).

Troubleshooting the Device
This section offers troubleshooting guidance for situations when there are issues with the
coordinator/receiver. Upon powering up the device, there are visual indicators that provide
information about the current state or configuration of the devices. If these indicators behave
differently from what is expected, there could be issues that need to be addressed. The
following information can be helpful to determine potential issues.
Take note that the following LED indicators are only visible if the casing enclosure of the
device is temporarily removed:
– Power supply LED
– Tricolor LED
– Ethernet LED
– Power over Ethernet (PoE) LED (on the coordinator only)
Checking the power supply
When you power up the coordinator/receiver using the external DC input, the power supply
LED on the device will light up in orange. The LED will continue to illuminate as long as power
is supplied to the device. If the LED is not illuminated, there could be issues with the power
supply. Check that the operating input voltage is between the range specified (see Power
supply connector, page 16). If there is no power, check the cable or power supply to ensure
that it is not faulty. If there are no faults with the cable or power supply, check the
coordinator/receiver.
Checking Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is only applicable for coordinators. Power for the coordinator can
be supplied via the Cat 5e cable using the PoE technology. When powered by the PoE, the PoE
LED will light up continuously in red color. If the LED is not illuminated, check that the Cat 5e
cable or the power sourcing equipment (for example, the network switch supplying the PoE)
is not faulty.
Checking Ethernet network issues
Ethernet network communication is only applicable for coordinators. The coordinator
communicates with the Central Console via Ethernet TCP/IP. If the coordinator uses an IP
address that is already in use by another device on the Ethernet network, an IP address
conflict occurs. This will render one or both the devices to be unable to connect to network
resources or perform other network operations.
If an IP address conflict is detected by the coordinator, the green and red LED will blink
continuously (500ms on, 500ms off). To rectify the issue, change the IP address of the
conflicting device using the Utility Tool of the Security Escort software, and blah blah blah (…
to be confirmed).
Checking the RS-485 communication
The coordinator and receivers communicate with each other via RS-485 by default. The
tricolor LED on the device will blink in pink light every 3 seconds as long as RS-485
communication is available. If the RS-485 communication is broken, the coordinator and
receivers will switch to radio frequency (RF) as the communication channel. As a result, the
behavior and color of the tricolor LED will no longer be the same (blink in pink light every 3
seconds). To troubleshoot RS-485 communication, check that the following is working:
1. RS-485 is enabled on the host system configuration.

2. Wiring of RS-485 is not faulty.
3. Baud rate settings (configured via dip switch) on the coordinator/receivers are the same.
Checking the radio frequency (RF)
If the coordinator and receivers are communicating via radio frequency (RF), you can confirm
the RF configuration by checking the tricolor LED visually. Every time you power up the device,
the LED will illuminate and blink a number of times in white light. The number of blinks on the
LED corresponds to the configured RF, as shown in the following table.
Radio Frequency Number of Blinks
304 MHz (default factory setting) Two
303.825 MHz One
433.42 MHz Three
Invalid setting Non-stop
Table 6.1: LED behavior upon powering up the device
If the selected RF is incorrect, set the dip switches accordingly and reconfirm the settings
with the procedure above.
Resetting the coordinator/receiver
Incorrect configurations on the coordinator or receiver may sometimes be the cause of issues
that you encounter. In instances like these, the issue may be cleared by simply performing a
reset on the coordinator/receiver. Depending on hard or soft reset, the reset cycle clears
specific sets of configuration to the factory settings. Pressing the reset button initiates the
reset cycle of the coordinator/receiver, with the red and green LEDs blinking once
simultaneously to indicate a hard reset, and the red and green LEDs blinking twice
simultaneously for a soft reset. The device is then powered up automatically with the factory
settings. For a list of settings or features that are being reset, please refer to the Appendix
Differences between hard and soft reset mode on the coordinator/receiver, page 28.
Upgrading coordinator/receiver firmware
Use the Utility Tool of the Security Escort software to check/upgrade the coordinator/receiver
firmware. For more information on the usage of Utility Tool, please refer to the Security Escort
Installation and Setup Manual.
