Bosch 6000

Arming The System

To arm a Bosch 6000 alarm system you simply enter the valid pin and press ON, this will turn the area to all on, If your PIN is valid and if all zones are normal a series of beeps will be heard alerting you that the system has been armed and the exit timer is operating, it’s now time to leave.

If your Bosch 6000 alarm detects a faulted zone, you should return it to normal, or bypass the zone.

During exit delay, you may stop the area from turning on by entering your PIN followed by the [OFF] key.

Disarming The System 

When the system is on and you enter this will start the entry timer. During entry time, the keypad will emit a series of beeps to remind you to turn the system off. To turn the area off, enter your PIN followed by the [OFF] key before the entry delay time expires.

If you enter through the wrong door or fail to turn the system off before the entry delay time this will probably cause an alarm, If an alarm occurs, silence the alarm (by entering your PIN followed by the [OFF] key) and if your system is being monitored call your security company to let them know that it is not an emergency situation.

1. Enter your PIN + [OFF] to turn the system (or area) off. The keypad will no longer display the ‘Lock’ or ‘Part’ icons.

Turning An Area Part On or Part 2 On

Part On and Part 2 On turns on only part of the area, leaving the rest of the area turned off.

Only the security technician can program which zones are monitored for Part On. But the master user can program which zones are monitored when a user turns an area Part 2 On.

Once you have turned an area Part On or Part 2 On, a series of beeps will be heard and the exit delay time starts to count down. You should leave all zones that are armed before the exit delay time.

1. Make sure that all zones are normal (not faulted).
2. Enter your PIN, then press the [PART]. If your PIN is valid and if all zones are normal, the keypad will prompt you to select Part On or Part 2 On.
3. Using the arrow keys, highlight Part On or Part 2 On then press [OK].

The exit delay time will start. You should leave now. If your system has a faulted zone, you should return it to normal, or bypass the faulted zone. During exit delay, you may stop the system from turning Part On by entering your PIN followed by the [OFF] key.

Automatic Arming

Your system may have been programmed to automatically arm itself at a certain time of the day. 

If for some reason you are still in the building when the auto arming is taking place then it is possible to extend or delay the auto-on time (automatic arming time) by one hour simply by entering your PIN during the auto-on pre-alert time. The auto-on pre-alert time sounds the keypad buzzer to warn you that the system will automatically turn All On, Part On or Part 2 On.

For example:
If the control panel is programmed by the security tech to automatically turn All On at 6:00pm and the auto-on pre-alert time starts beeping the keypad at 5:55pm, entering your PIN between 5:55pm and 6:00pm will delay the auto-on time by one hour and the auto-on pre-alert time will again commence at 6:55pm. Therefore the system will automatically turn All On at 7:00pm.

Bypass Zones – Menu 3-0-2

 This menu allows you to bypass or un-bypass a single or multiple zones before you turn the area All On, Part On or Part 2 On. When bypassing zones, it disables the ability for a zone to detect intrusion and sound an alarm. This can be useful when you are having an issue with one zone, either a fault or you are unable to close a door, you can isolate that zone and still arm the system until you can call your security company out to fix the fault.

A burglary zone will automatically become un-bypassed when you turn the corresponding area off (disarm). Any 24-Hr fire or 24- Hr non fire zones will need to be manually un-bypassed.

1. Enter [MENU] + [3] + [0] + [2].

A list of zones that can be bypassed will display on the keypad. A ‘✓’ displayed on the right side of the zone name indicates that the zone is already bypassed.

2. Use the [↑] and [↓] keys to select the zone that you want to bypass, then press [OK]. Alternatively, you can enter the zone number that you want to bypass, then press [OK].

If the zone is bypassed, the keypad will prompt:

3. If the zone is not bypassed, the keypad will prompt:

4. Press [ON] or [OFF] to toggle the zone to be bypassed/unbypassed.
5. Press [OK] to save and exit, or press [MENU] to exit without

Repeat steps 1 to 4 to bypass or un-bypass additional zones.
