BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions

NOTE
The colors of house phone wires vary. If the
colors do not match the diagrams above, connect
the wire that was connected to Tip Out (+) to
Terminal 8 (the brown wire on the RJ31X and the
black wire on the RJ38X), and connect the wire
that was connected to Ring Out (-) to Terminal 1
(the grey wire on the RJ31X or the yellow wire on
the RJ38X).
During normal operation, the telco interface’s seize relay clicks a
number of times before a call is placed. The relay rapidly
switches state to disconnect any calls that are in progress.
2.9 Register Grid Extenders
The InGrid grid network is formed in the customer’s home by
registering the Grid Extenders into a single network. The process
begins by setting a Keypad as the first node (or Master) of the
network, and then adding more nodes (Slaves) one at a time.
The Registration process requires use of the Programmer. The
operation of the various Programmer menus is described in
section 3.
Note: This section describes how to create and configure a new
installation. See chapter 3 for instructions on how to perform
configuration maintenance on an existing system.
2.9.1 Cross Registration
Cross Registration is an undesired event that can occur when a
device from one customer’s grid network is mistakenly registered
into another customer’s grid network. The greatest risk of Cross
Registration occurs when two Installers are simultaneously
installing systems in neighboring homes or apartments.
The BHS-i100 minimizes the probability of Cross Registration
through the following techniques:
• For each device that must be registered, the Installer must
specifically command the registration event. Each time that
registration (or learning) is commanded, there is a time
window of no more than 60 seconds during which
registration of the new device must take place or the time
windows closes.
• The Programmer contains wireless receivers, and is carried
by the Installer to the device about to be registered.
Because the Programmer is physically close to the device
while it is registering, the Programmer receives a very
strong signal relative to the other Grid Extenders. This
strong message is compared to the message received by
the other Grid Extenders during qualification. It is very
unlikely a neighbor device at a greater distance can
generate the same strong signal in the Programmer.
• InGrid devices such as Grid Extenders, Sensors, and
Auxiliary Sirens have special registration messages that are
different than normal status or fault messages. These
registration messages must be specifically commanded. So
a status message from a neighbor’s system can never
mistakenly cause a Cross Registration. In addition, each
customer’s grid network uses unique encryption keys that
prevent devices in one network from be able to correctly
receive messages from devices in a neighbor’s network.
• InGrid devices may only register once, and only to a single
system. If a device is already registered, and the Installer
wants to register that device again, the device must be
specifically reset back to factory default thereby erasing its
current configuration.
• InGrid Sensors support bi-directional messages. The return
path from the Grid Extenders to the InGrid Sensors is
intentionally limited to minimize the probability of
communications with systems outside of the customer’s
home or small office.
• Each registration event requires qualification/confirmation
with audio feedback.
• During registration, if messages from two different devices
are received, neither device is registered and the Installer
must try again. Typically, on the second attempt only the
desired device will send a registration message.
2.9.2 Set First Keypad to Master
Prior to setting a Keypad to Master, the Keypad should be
beeping approximately once every 30 seconds to indicate that it
contains a factory default configuration. If the Keypad is not
beeping every 30 seconds, then the Keypad already contains an
identity and configuration. In this case, refer to section 2.9.6 in
order to restore the Keypad to factory default settings.
In general, a centrally located Keypad should be selected to be
the Master during configuration. To set a Keypad to Master:
1. Press and hold “8”,“9”.. The Keypad will beep and its LED
will begin to blink.
2. The Keypad is now Master and is ready to register a
Programmer for 60 seconds. If the Programmer is not
registered within 60 seconds, repeat step 1 after power
cycling the Master keypad.
2.9.3 Learn the Programmer
To register the Programmer, the Master Keypad must be in
registration mode. For an initial installation, the Master Keypad is
in registration mode after the steps above in section 2.9.2. If the
Programmer is to be registered into an existing system, follow
the steps in section 3.1.3, and proceed to section 2.9.4.
Otherwise, follow the steps presented here:
1. Power up the Programmer by pressing any key. The
Programmer will display:
Welcome to BHS-i100
Enter Access Code
>
2. The Installer is prompted for a login access code. For new
systems the default access code is “1 2 3 4 5”; for a
previously configured system, the access code is the
Comm 1 Account Number.
3. After entering the correct access code, the Programmer
will register to the Master Keypad. Upon successful
registration, the Programmer and the Master Keypad will
each chirp, and the Programmer will display:
Press 0 on keypad
to test connection
(Programmer beeps)
1=ACCEPT 2=REJECT
4. Pressing the “1” key confirms Programmer registration with
the master and causes the Home Menu to be displayed.
