BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 2 InGrid Component Installation and Registration Important Note Please read and fully understand the BHS-i100 User’s Manual before reading this manual or attempting to install the system. The User’s Manual describes the system’s features, functions, and user interface requirements in great detail. That information is not repeated in this manual 2.1 Components The SS470 Auxiliary Siren-strobe is designed for residential applications. It is intended to be used as a supplementary audible and visual signaling device when used with the BHS-i100 Home Security System. It communicates using encrypted two-way wireless signals. The only wired connection is power via a plug-in power supply. A BHS-i100 system can contain the following compatible components: Grid Extenders Model Number Brinks Keypad BK410 Grid Extender SE430 Brinks Programmer BP420 InGrid Sensors Model Number Window/Door Sensor IS440 Keychain Remote KF460 Auxiliary Siren SS470 Ademco Transmitters Model Number Glass Break Detector 5853 Motion Detector 5800 Smoke Detector 5808LST Note: Compatibility between models KF460, 5816, and the BP420 has not been evaluated by UL. 2.2 Maximum System Capacity The maximum number of Auxiliary Siren-Strobe devices in a single system is 4. The Auxiliary Siren-Strobe is intended to be used only with the BHS-i100 system. Each BHS-i100 system must contain at least 1 Brinks Keypad and at least 1 Signal Extender to support the addition of a SS470 Auxiliary Siren-Strobe. 2.3 Wireless Communications Range There are two types of wireless communications used in a BHS-i100 system: Grid Extender to Grid Extender – This communication operates at 2.4 GHz. To avoid the potential for conflict with WiFi networks, it is good installation practice to locate any Grid Extender at least 10 feet from a WiFi router that a customer may be using. The Grid Extenders installed in a single customer’s home, garage, and shed work together in a redundant grid network. If you were to draw a circle around all of the Grid Extenders in a single grid network, the maximum diameter of that circle must be less than 300 feet. The InGrid system will ensure installation within the acceptable range. Siren-Strobe to Grid Extender – This communication operates at 345 MHz and 2.4 GHz. Communication from the InGrid SS470 to Grid Extenders is two-way encrypted wireless. SS470’s may communicate to any Grid Extender. The maximum distance from a SS470 to the closest Grid Extender must be less than 30 feet. Proper installation of the Grid Extenders and SS470 is determined by using the Installation and Registration Process. 2.4 Install the SS470 Siren-Strobe The SS470 Siren-Strobe must be mounted in a dry, clean location. The SS470 Auxiliary Siren-Strobe should be wall-mounted at a height that provides the best possible audible and visual alarm signaling. The BHS-i100 supports up to 4 SS470’s. 2.4.1 Wiring & Mounting the Siren-Strobe Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the Keypad. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding strap to discharge yourself. The SS470 is designed to be mounted on drywall or wood. Mounting on metal studs, or any type of brick, stone, or concrete block will likely reduce the wireless range of the SS470. Note: Do NOT use an outlet that is controlled by a switch. Location Select a location on a wall that is accessible to an outlet that is not controlled by a switch. Mount at height convenient for use, typically 55 to 60 inches above the floor. A wire must be run from the SS470 to the Power Supply, so choose the location wisely to minimize the difficulty of running the wire. The mounting plate must be used for the SS470 to operate properly. 4
BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions Mounting 1. Hold mounting plate level up to the wall where the SS470 will be mounted and mark area for wires to run through wall. Figure 1 2. Make hole in wall. Run wires (18 gauge stranded wire) from the mounting location of the SS470 to the outlet where the Power Supply will be mounted. 3. Mount the SS470 mounting plate to the wall using #8 drywall screws. 4. Attach the wires to the power terminals of the SS470. If the wire is color coded, note the attachment color used for the positive terminal of the SS470. This same color wire should connect to the positive terminal of the Power Supply. The SS470 has a protection circuit in case the wires are connected with the wrong polarity. Later, when the Power Supply is mounted, if the Siren-Strobe does not receive power from the Power Supply, switch the polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply. 5. Snap the SS470 onto the back plate, by inserting the tabs on the mounting plate into holes on the back of the Siren-Strobe. If any pressure or difficulty is encountered, do not apply force. Investigate the routing of the wires and the alignment of the SS470 and the mounting plate and try again. 2.4.2 Wire the Power Supply Note: You must be free of static electricity before handling the Power Supply. Touch a bare metal surface or wear a grounding strap to discharge yourself. Use the Brinks BS450 Power Supply to provide power to the Auxiliary Siren-strobe. BS450 Specifications: Input: 120V 60Hz Output: 5VDC 850mA 1. Select an outlet on which to mount the Power Supply. Choose an outlet that is close to the location where the Keypad is mounted. 2. Find the circuit breaker or fuse controlling the outlet to which the Power Supply will be mounted and disconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker off or removing the fuse. 3. Remove the center screw attaching the outlet cover to the outlet. 4. Attach the wires to the Power Supply terminals, noting the polarity of the wire colors (if any). The Power Supply generates a polarity sensitive +5 volts DC. If the Keypad does not receive power from the Power Supply, switch the polarity of the wire connections on the Power Supply. 5. The Power Supply contains a tab that protrudes above the Power Supply. The Power Supply must be mounted so that the hole in the tab is aligned with the center screw hole of the outlet cover. This may require changing the vertical orientation of the Power Supply in order to find the direction which permits the hole in the tab to align with the center screw hole of the outlet cover. 6. Insert the outlet screw through both the tab and the center screw hole of the outlet cover, and tighten. The tab and the cover should be snug against the outlet, but not so tight that it causes flexing or stress on either the tab or the outlet cover. Use the mounting plate as a template for making a hole for running wires to the power supply 7. Reconnect power to the outlet by turning the circuit breaker on or replacing the fuse. Note: Connect the transformer using 18 AWG or larger wire. Wiring Diagram SK-WIR-002 for the BS450 Power Supply The power supply is intended to be correctly orientated in a vertical or floor mount position. 2.4.3 Install the Battery NOTE To avoid risk of shock or fire, install only InGrid IG120 battery. Install the InGrid IG120 rechargeable battery pack into the Siren-Strobe and allow charging for at least 24 hours to ensure that it is fully charged. 1. Connect the battery pack to the Siren-Strobe connector in the battery compartment. Match the battery connector's polarity to the Siren-Strobe polarity. Push the battery pack connector and Siren-Strobe connector together until they click into place. 2. Make sure you have a good connection by gently pulling on the battery wires. 3. Route the wires under the battery pack and place the battery pack in the compartment 2.5 Install/Learn Auxiliary Sirens Occasionally, one or more Auxiliary Sirens are needed. This may occur if the layout of the home prevents the Keypad sirens from adequately reaching all areas of the home or if residents suffer from hearing loss. Up to four (4) Auxiliary Sirens may be installed on a system. If an Auxiliary Siren is necessary, it should be mounted in a location that will enable all occupants of the household to hear the siren. 5
