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.
