Thread: Bosch Solution 16+ installation help required

-Turned on my wireless PIR. and added my wireless PIR ID to the system using the keypad.

My wireless PIR can detect movement and I can see a flashing light on my wireless receiver when there is an activity. However I can not see any update on the keypad. Is there anything I need to do to get my wireless receiver to talk to my system?

Any help will be much appreciated. Let me know if you need any other information.

Cheers

out of curiousity did you

1 read the installation manual

2 understand its contents fully

3 default the panel before attempting to program anything

if you answered no to any of the questions, do yourself a favour and call a licenced tech or call the supplier that you purchased this system from and get the appropiate help and save yourself some tears latter.

Key in your installer/programming code followed by the menu button to enter install programming

now press 3, 5 , 0. make this option a type 04 now press ok then press and hold the menu button to exit programming

yes, i did read the whole manual and even downloaded additional manuals.
understood the whole content, defaulted the panel and attempted to connect it.

Thought i could get some friendly advice form this forum as I saw a few posts regarding this specific security system...

My issue is trying to get the wireless receiver to talk to my system... any help would be much appreciated.

You do realise that the wireless PIR is only going to send one signal every few minutes, before going into sleep mode, right?

ty for the info. will continue the setup tomorrow. Cheers

Looks like you have wired it right, no you dont need any resistors

Double check the ID you have progammed in, make sure the input type is right and that it is in the right area.

Take the front cover off the PIR and the panel will see the tamper, if that works then hardware should be ok. When testing the PIR arm the alarm go out side for 5mins then go back in trigger it and see if you get a alarm from it

And read the manual which came with the detector.

Have you programmed each device ID into the panel? Each sensor has a unique code to link it to the panel.

Good job bumping an old thread...

Hi, I also need some help please with the Bosch Solution 16 installation. Recently I had to reset to factory default because I was trying to clean up all the user codes without realising that user 1 is also the master code. After resetting the system to default and following the 282 page manual, I was able to set up new user codes and the zones etc. But for some reasons all the zone indicators on the remote codepad keep lit up all the time. According to the manual, when first started, "all zone indicators will illuminate momentarily and then extinguish." Looking through the manual I couldn't find a way to get the zone indicators to lit normally as they should. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the quick reply, Watchdog. Mine is a Sol 16. So I will check location 339. I think it defaults to a 4 = 3k3, but that probably is not suitable for the PIRs installed. Will try other values and see how that goes. Thanks again.

more than 8 devices??? make sure you check you have enabled zone doubling! location 339 think its meant to be a 15

I only have 8 PIRs. Found the right value for location 339 and all the zones are sealed. So problem solved. Thanks very much for the help.
