![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 11Problem: A neighboring GE is registered into the local system. Symptom: Programmer shows acceptance screen but the GE is still blinking or GE Finder fails. Recovery: Delete GE using the Programmer. If necessary, restart registration procedure beginning with “Set First Keypad To Master” procedure in section 2.9.2 (initial installation). 2.10 Install/Learn InGrid Sensors In order to install the InGrid Sensors, Grid Extenders must be installed and the system must be operational. In addition, the Programmer must be registered and operational. Sensors are RF qualified during the registration process using the Grid Extender grid network in the customer’s home. 2.10.1 Install Mounting Clip There are three (3) parts to an InGrid Sensor: (i) the clip that is screwed to the window frame or door frame, (ii) the Sensor itself, and (iii) the magnet that is attached to the window or door. Ingrid sensors are most often registered to operate using magnets to change the state of the zone. However, it is possible to configure a sensor to operate with an external switch that is hardwired to the Ingrid sensor. In this first step, install only the clip itself in the desired location. The clip has markings that indicate where the magnet must be located. 2.10.2 Install/Learn The Sensor 1. Using the Programmer, navigate to “Learn Devices”, then “Learn InGrid Sensor”. Registration will be enabled for 60 seconds only. The Programmer will display: Insert sensor into clip 2. Within 60 seconds, while holding the Programmer near the clip (within 1 foot is preferred), snap the InGrid Sensor into the clip. The Sensor will automatically attempt to register. If the registration process is successful, the Programmer will triple beep and display: Fault sensor to complete registration 3. If the registration process fails, the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically after displaying a registration failure message. If a system detects two registration bursts during the Sensor registration mode it will not register either Sensor and the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically after displaying an error message. 4. The registration must be confirmed by faulting the Sensor. Faulting the sensor using a magnet will place the sensor in Magnet mode, faulting the sensor using and external switch will cause the sensor to be in External mode. . The Programmer will then display either: Sensor (Magnet | External) REGISTERED Press ENTER to continue or Sensor NOT REGISTERED Press ENTER to continue 5. If the Sensor fails to qualify, the Programmer will return to the “Learn Devices” menu. 6. If the Sensor successfully qualifies, the Programmer will display: Assign Sensor to Zone # > <default> 7. The installer may enter a new number, or press [Enter] to select the default zone value. If the installer enters a zone number which is currently in use, the Programmer will display: OK to overwrite zone 12? 1=YES 2=NO 8. After the zone number has been selected, the Programmer will display a list of zone types such as: Zone # Type ?Entry/Exit 9. The process may be repeated until all Sensors are registered. 10. After all Sensors are qualified, use the Programmer’s Zone Finder to ensure that all Sensors are correctly registered. 2.10.3 Troubleshooting Sensor Registration Problem: A Sensor is registered into a neighboring system Symptom: Local Programmer doesn’t “triple beep” or show the request for qualification step. Recovery: Reset the Sensor to factory default (section 2.10.4) and repeat registration. Problem: Sensor from a neighbor’s home is registered into the local system. Symptom: During the registration process, a Sensor was registered into a particular zone. During a Zone Finder test, no local Sensor matches the zone. Recovery: On the Programmer, navigate to “Delete Zone/Sensor” and delete the zone containing the unknown Sensor. Problem: A Sensor will not register.](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-11.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 12Symptom: During the registration process, a Sensor is inserted but the Programmer does not recognize the Sensor. No registration message appears to be transmitted. Sensor may be registered to another system. Recovery: Reset the Sensor to factory default settings. See section 2.10.4. 2.10.4 Resetting A Sensor To Factory Default In some instances, an InGrid Sensor may contain an identity and configuration that prevents the installer from registering a Sensor. This will require the device to be restored to factory default settings before continuing with registration. To restore a Sensor to the factory default settings: 1. Remove the Sensor from the clip. 2. The reset contacts as shown in the picture below. Figure 7 3. Using a small flat blade screwdriver, short the reset contacts to each other for several seconds. 4. The Sensor should now be restored to factory default settings and be ready for registration. Figure 7 2.11 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. 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. 2.11.1 Install The Auxiliary Siren To mount the Auxiliary Siren: 1. Remove the back plate from the Auxiliary Siren 2. Mount the back plate to the wall using #8 drywall screws. 3. Install the CR123 batteries. 4. Learn the Auxiliary Siren. 5. Mount the siren to the back plate. 6. Test the Auxiliary Siren 2.11.2 Learn The Auxiliary Siren 1. Using the Programmer, navigate to “Learn Devices”, then “Learn Auxiliary Siren”. Registration will be enabled for 60 seconds only. The Programmer will display: Press button On Ext Siren 2. While holding the Programmer near the Auxiliary Siren, press the button on the Auxiliary Siren. The Auxiliary Siren will automatically register and both the Programmer and the Keypads will triple beep. If successful, the Programmer will display: Mount Siren on back plate to qualify the installation 3. If the Auxiliary Siren fails to register within 60 seconds, the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically. If a system detects two registration bursts during the Auxiliary Siren registration mode it will not register either Auxiliary Siren and the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically. 4. The registration must be confirmed by [doing something – TBD on Siren hardware design] the Auxiliary Siren. The Programmer will then display either: Siren QUALIFIED Press any key to continue or Siren NOT QUALIFIED Press any key to continue 5. If the Auxiliary Siren fails to qualify, the Programmer will return to the “Learn Devices” menu. 6. If the Auxiliary Siren successfully qualifies, the Programmer will display: Enter Siren Number: > <default> 7. The installer may enter a new number, or press [Enter] to select the default number. If the installer enters a siren Reset Contacts](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-12.png)

After the siren number has been selected, the Programmer will display a list of configuration parameters such as: Exit Tone Enable: >YES 9. The process may be repeated until all Auxiliary Sirens are registered. 2.12 Install/Learn Ademco Transmitters Each BHS-i100 system supports up to 59 total sensors, which may include Ademco 5800 series transmitters of the following types: • 5808LST Smoke Detector • 5800 Motion Sensor • 5853 Glassbreak Detector In order to install the Ademco Transmitters, Grid Extenders must be installed and the system should be operational. In addition, the Programmer must be registered and operational. Ademco Transmitters are RF qualified during the registration process using the Grid Extender grid network in the customer’s home. NOTE You must remove the cover from the Ademco 5800 Motion Sensor before attempting to register it. The cover can be replaced after the sensor is successfully registered. 2.12.1 Install The Transmitter Ademco Transmitters have permanent serial numbers programmed at the factory. Therefore, the entire Transmitter may be installed before registration. There are no special registration messages or identity information exchanged. Because unique messages are not used, the probability of Cross Registration is greater. See section 2.9.1 for information on Cross Registration and be especially alert for the audio feedback. 2.12.2 Learn The Transmitter 1. Using the Programmer, navigate to “Learn Devices”, then select one of the following, depending on the type of sensor you are attempting to register: • “Learn Ademco Sensor”, • “Learn Glass Sensor”, • “Learn Motion Sensor”, or • “Learn Fire Sensor” Registration will be enabled for 60 seconds only. The Programmer will display: Please Fault Sensor (Note: the actual text displayed will differ slightly depending on the type of sensor you are attempting to register.) 2. While holding the Programmer near the Ademco Transmitter (within 1 foot is preferred), fault the sensor. (Note: The 5808LST Smoke Detector can be faulted by pressing the recessed test button on the front of the unit. The 5800 Motion Sensor can be faulted by moving your hand in front of the sensor. The 5853 Glassbreak Detector can be faulted by tapping it with a pen.) The sensor will send a fault transmission and the Programmer will triple beep. If successful, the Programmer will display: Sensor detected: Serial Number: 13444322 1=ACCEPT 2=REJECT 3. If the Transmitter fails to transmit within 60 seconds, the Programmer will display an error message and leave registration mode automatically. If a system detects two different Ademco Transmitter bursts during the Transmitter registration mode it will not register any Transmitter and the Programmer will display an error message and leave registration mode automatically. 4. The registration must be confirmed by faulting the sensor. The Programmer will then display either: Sensor (Magnet) REGISTERED Press ENTER to continue or Sensor NOT REGISTERED Press ENTER to continue 5. If the sensor fails to qualify, the Programmer will return to the “Learn Devices” menu. 6. If the Sensor successfully qualifies, the Programmer will display: Assign Sensor to Zone # > <default> 7. The installer may enter a new number, or press [Enter] to select the default zone value. If the installer enters a zone number which is currently in use, the Programmer will display:](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-13.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 14OK to overwrite zone 12? 1=YES 2=NO 8. After the zone number has been selected, the Programmer will display a list of zone types such as: Zone # Type ? INSTANT 9. The process may be repeated until all Sensors are registered. 10. Use the Programmer’s Zone Finder to ensure that all sensors are correctly registered. 2.13 Supervision Supervised Sensors and Transmitters send check-in signals to the receiver at 70-90 minute intervals. If at least one check-in message is not received from each transmitter within the specified supervision period, the icon Keypad will display “TROUBLE” along with the associated zone number. 2.14 Battery Life Indication Batteries in InGrid Sensors typically last 9 to 10 years, and batteries in Ademco Transmitters may last from 2 to 4 years, depending on the environment, usage, and the specific wireless device being used. Factors such as humidity, extreme temperatures, as well as large temperature variations, may all reduce the actual battery life in a given installation. The wireless system can identify a true low-battery situation, thus allowing the dealer or user time to arrange a change of battery and maintain protection for that given point within the system. A low battery condition is noted when the display shows “LOW BAT”. InGrid Sensors contain long-life but non-replaceable batteries, and no battery installation is required. At the end of their life, the complete unit must be replaced and registered by the Programmer. Do not install batteries in Ademco Transmitters until you are ready to register them during system programming. 2.15 Learn Key Fob 1. Using the Programmer, navigate to “Learn Devices”, then “Learn Key Fob”. Registration will be enabled for 60 seconds only. The Programmer will display: Press any Key Fob Button 3 times 2. While holding the Keychain Remote near the Programmer (within 1 foot is preferred), press any Keychain Remote button 3 times. The Programmer and the Keypads will triple beep. If successful, the Programmer will display: Key Fob detected Press any Key Fob Button 3 times To qualify 3. If the Keychain Remote fails to transmit within 60 seconds, the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically. If a system detects two different Keychain Remote bursts during the Keychain Remote registration mode it will not register either Keychain Remote and the Programmer will leave registration mode automatically. 4. The registration must be confirmed by pressing any Keychain Remote button 3 times. The Programmer will then display either: Key Fob QUALIFIED Press any key to continue or Key Fob NOT QUALIFIED Press any key to continue 5. If the Keychain Remote fails to qualify, the Programmer will return to the “Learn Devices” menu. 6. If the Keychain Remote successfully qualifies, the Programmer will display: Enter User Number: > <default> 7. The installer may enter a new number, or press [Enter] to select the default user number value. Note that the Keychain Remote will only become active if the selected user number is enabled. A Keychain Remote cannot be added to users 9-13. If the installer enters a user number which is currently in use, the Programmer will display: OK to overwrite User 2? 1=YES 2=NO 8. After the user number has been selected, the Programmer will display a list of button definitions such as: Enter Button 1 type: > POLICE 9. The process may be repeated until all Keychain Remotes are registered.](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-14.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 15 3 Programming 3.1 Getting Started The BHS-i100 is programmed using the InGrid model BP420 wireless Programmer, shown below. The programming is menu-based. 3.1.1 Power Up The Programmer The Programmer is a standalone wireless device that does need to be physically connected to the system in the customer’s home. The Programmer is powered by an internal battery. The battery requires periodic charging from its AC power supply. The Programmer will automatically enter a sleep mode to conserve battery power whenever no key is pressed in a 15 minutes interval. To apply power to the Programmer, press any key. 3.1.2 Registration Overview The BHS-i100 is a grid network of devices installed in the customer’s home or small office. For the security and privacy of the customer, the wireless communications between the devices is protected with encryption keys that are unique to each customer’s grid network. The encryption keys are calculated based upon the Registration Access Code. For a system configured with factory default values, the Registration Access Code is “1 2 3 4 5”. After the Comm 1 Account ID has been programmed into the system, the Comm 1 Account ID is assigned to the Registration Access Code. If the Registration Access Code is not known, the system will need to be reset to factory default values. In order to access the configuration of the BHS-i100 installed in the customer’s home or small office, the Programmer must temporarily “join” the grid network so that the Programmer can receive and transmit the encrypted wireless messages between the devices. Note: The following procedure allows you to register a Programmer to an existing system. Follow the directions in section 2.9 in order to create and configure a new system. 3.1.3 Register the Programmer If the Programmer has not already been registered into the system, register the Programmer: 1. 1 Press and hold “1”, “9” on any keypad until the LED starts flashing.. 2. The system is now ready to register a Programmer. 3. Power up the Programmer by pressing any key. The Programmer will display: Welcome to BHS-i100 Enter Access Code > 10. 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 Alarm Report Account ID. 11. After the access code is entered followed by the “ENTER” key, the Programmer displays the following: Waiting for Registration Press ESC to restart 12. After entering the correct access code, the Programmer will register to the Master Keypad. Upon successful registration, the Programmer and the Master Keypad will chirp. The Programmer will then display the Home Menu. 3.1.4 Home Menu The Home Menu now appears. The Programmer displays four menu items at a time, as shown in the illustration below and to the left. The entire Home Menu is shown to the right. Use the [/\] and [\/] keys to scroll through the menu items. 1 Set Defaults 2 Learn Devices 3 Standard Menu 4 Advanced Menu Home Menu, as it first appears on display 1 Set Defaults 2 Learn Devices 3 Standard Menu 4 Advanced Menu 5 Test Menu 6 Replace Hardware 7 Upload Config 8 Browse Events 9 Diagnostics 10 Prog Batt Stat 11 Set Poweroff Time 12 Set Backlt Time 13 Exit Entire Home Menu The Home Menu allows you to choose between Standard and Advanced Programming, and a variety of diagnostic tools. Press the [\/] key to view the lower items on the list. There are two ways to select most menu items. You may scroll to the item you want, using the [/\] and [\/] keys, and then press the [Enter] key to select it. You may also select an item by entering its menu number. 3.1.5 Menu Programming Terminology Because menu programming is somewhat different from command location programming, the terminology used to describe it is also slightly different. In this manual, the following terms are used:](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-15.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 16• Topic. A programmable feature, like zone type or the global exit delay. In command location programming, a topic would occupy a single command location. • Option. A way in which a topic can be programmed. An option could be the number of seconds a siren sounds, the type of communicator needed, or a customer’s name. In command location programming, an option would be the data programmed at a particular location. • Path. The series of menu choices needed to navigate to a specific place in the programming tree. In command location programming, the path would be the command location number. • Menu item. Anything you can choose from the menu, but cannot directly program. For example, you can choose the Standard Menu from the Home Menu and view the subsequent menu items within that branch of the programming tree, but there is no programmable value that you can assign to “Standard Menu.” There is no equivalent term in command location programming. 3.2 Using The Programmer 3.2.1 Navigational And Data-Entry Modes The Programmer has two operating modes: the navigational mode and the data-entry mode. In the navigational mode, you can move from topic to the next, but you cannot enter data. The data-entry mode allows you to change the system’s programmed values and then advance to the next topic. When you begin programming, the Programmer is in the navigational mode. Once you have moved to an option that you wish to program, you can switch to the data-entry mode by pressing the [Enter] key. In the data-entry mode, a ‘?’ character or a flashing cursor is shown on the screen to indicate that user input is expected. There are two ways to move from the data-entry mode back to the navigational mode. If you want to write a programming change to memory and return to the navigational mode, press the [Enter] key. The Programmer displays the next menu item (or, if there are none, returns to the previous menu.) If you want to abort a programming change and return to the navigational mode, press the [Escape] key instead. The Programmer displays the current menu item. As you become an experienced user of the Programmer, you will probably be able to switch between these modes automatically. However, it is important to point out the existence of these two modes, because the functions of some of the Programmer’s keys change, depending upon which mode the Programmer is in. This is discussed in more detail in the following two sections. 3.2.2 Key Functions: Navigational Mode The table below describes how each of the Programmer’s keys functions in the navigational mode. The keys that are not shown have no function in the navigational mode. Key Function 6 MNO@ Press to select a menu item with the same number. 6 MNO@ The special characters are not used in the navigational mode. ENTER. When a menu item is displayed, pressing the [Enter] key selects it. When a programmable option is displayed, pressing the [Enter] key takes you to data-entry mode. SHIFT. Not used in the navigational mode. BACK. Not used in the navigational mode. ESC. Press once to move back one level. Press repeatedly to return to the Home Menu. The [Esc] key does not take you out of installer programming. ↑. ↓. Press once to scroll the display up or down one line. Press and hold to scroll through the display. HOME. Press once to return to the Home menu. Press again to write programming changes to memory immediately. <F1. F2>. The F1 and F2 keys can be used to page up and down (respectively) through menu screens. 3.2.3 Key Functions: Data-Entry Mode The table below describes how each of the Programmer’s keys functions in the data-entry mode. To go into the data-entry mode, press the [Enter] key. The keys that are not shown have no function in the data entry mode. Key Function 6 MNO@ Press to enter a number to be programmed. 6 MNO@ Press once, then use the [/\] and [\/] keys to scroll to the desired alphanumeric character. Do not pause for more than one second between keystrokes. For example, to enter the letter “N,” press the [6] key, then press the [\/] key twice. ENTER. Press to write changes to memory, return to navigation mode, and advance to the next topic, if applicable. SHIFT. Press to toggle between upper- and lower-case letters. (The first character of all labels or name fields is automatically capitalized.)](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-16.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 17BACK. Press once to erase the last character in the display. ESC. Press once to cancel a programming change before it is written to memory. The display reverts to the previously programmed information and the Programmer returns to navigational mode. ↑. ↓. Press to scroll through lists of programmable options (such as zone type). HOME. Press once to return to the Home menu without saving any changes. 3.2.4 Entering Data When you have reached the programmable option you wish to configure, press the [Enter] key to switch from the navigational mode to the data-entry mode. While you are in the data-entry mode, the display’s cursor flashes. To input data, you must do one of four things: 1) enter a number; 2) enter text; 3) select the option you want from a list; or 4) toggle a yes/no field. The method for doing each of these things is described below. How to enter a number. When the Programmer requires you to enter a number, you see a “>” symbol followed by the currently- programmed value. The example below shows that the currently programmed number of dial attempts for Alarm Receiver is five. Alarm Receiver Dial Attempts > 5 To change the value, press the [Enter] key to switch to the data- entry mode: Alarm Receiver Dial Attempts > 5█ Next, press the [Back] key to erase the old value. Input the new value. Once you have entered the maximum allowable number of characters, the cursor no longer accepts input. Press the [Enter] key to write the data to memory, advance to the next topic, and to return to the navigational mode. How to enter text. When the Programmer requires you to enter a text field, you see a “>” symbol, like the example below. This example shows that the account has not been give a name. Account Name > SIA Receiver To change the value, press the [Enter] key to switch to the data- entry mode: Account Name > SIA Receiver█ Next, press the [Back] key to erase the old value. Input the new value. Input the desired text using any combination of letters, numbers and special characters. Once you have entered the maximum allowable number of digits, the cursor continues to flash, but no longer accepts input. When you have completed the entry, press the [Enter] key to write the data to memory and return to navigational mode. The Programmer beeps to indicate the programming change was made. To enter a particular letter, press the corresponding numeric key once, then use the [/\] or [\/] keys to scroll to the desired alphanumeric character. Do not pause for more than one second between keystrokes. For example, to enter the letter “N,” press the [6] key, then press the [\/] key twice. How to specify “yes” or “no.” When the Programmer requires you to answer a question with a “yes” or a “no”, the Programmer displays a “>” symbol followed by the currently programmed value. The display shows how the system is currently programmed. In the example below, the system’s telephone line is not monitored, because the Line Cut enable topic is disabled. Line Cut >No To toggle the option, press the [Enter] key, which causes the “>” character to be replaced with a “?” character: Line Cut ?No Now use the [/\] or [\/] keys to select the desired value, then press the [Enter] key to write it to memory and to return to navigational mode. How to select from a list of options. When the Programmer requires you to select one option from a specified list, you see a “>” symbol and the currently-programmed option. In the data- entry mode, the “>” character is replaced by the “?” character. The example below shows that zone 1 is currently unconfigured. Zone 1 Zone Type >Unconfigured Press the [/\] or [\/] keys to scroll through the list of options. When the desired option appears, press [Enter] to write it to memory and to return to navigational mode. The programmer beeps to indicate the programming change was made. 3.2.5 Entry Errors If you attempt to enter an invalid programming value (for example, an entry delay that exceeds the allowable range), the Programmer sounds an error tone to alert you and displays an error message. In this case the existing programmed value is not changed. Press the ESC or ENTER keys to return to the previous screen.](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-17.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 193.3 Organization Of Menu Programming 3.3.1 Programming Tree The illustration on the previous pages shows how the programming information is organized at the Home Menu level. 3.3.2 Logical Programming Groups The BHS-i100 programming topics are grouped in a way that reflects the underlying organization of the system’s firmware. The main groups of programming topics are described below. System topics. System topics are those global settings that affect more than one system device or more than one type of system event. An example of a system topic is Answering Machine Bypass. Device topics. Device topics are used to configure the system’s devices. The system’s exit delays are Keypad device topics. User topics. User topics configure the system’s users and related parameters. Comm (Communicator) topics. Communicator topics configure the system’s communicators and control reporting. The communicator topics include, for example, dial attempts, the communicator’s telephone number, and which reports are sent to a particular Communicator. 3.3.3 Standard versus Advanced Programming The BHS-i100’s programming is divided into two groups: Standard and Advanced Programming. The Standard Menu covers all of the items frequently programmed during a typical installation. Zone configurations, communicator telephone numbers, and the system’s user codes can all be specified in the Standard Menu. Advanced Programming includes almost all of the programming options found in the Standard Menu, as well as a variety of less commonly modified system settings. The Home Menu Tree shows which programming options are included in the Standard Programming Mode and which are reserved for the Advanced Programming Mode. Many options can be programmed in either Standard or Advanced Programming. Selecting the Standard Menu should reduce the total time you spend programming the system. To illustrate the difference between Standard and Advanced Programming, the following programming examples show how the installer would change the master user code using both Standard and Advanced Programming. (The master user is user number 13, or as it is written on the Programmer’s display, user 13.) Standard Programming Example. To change the master user code to 159 in Standard Programming, do the following: 1. Select Standard Menu from the Home Menu (Option 3). 4. Select Option 5: User Codes. 5. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Master User entry (User 12). Press the [Enter]. 6. Use the [\/] arrow to scroll to User Access Code. 7. Press the [Enter] key to switch to the data-entry mode. 8. Use the [Back] key to erase the current value, if present. 9. Input 159. 10. Press the [Enter] key to write the change to memory and return to the navigational mode. 11. Press the [Home] key to return to the Home Menu. Advanced Programming Example. To change the master user code to 159 in Advanced Programming, do the following: 1. Select Advanced Menu from the Home Menu (Option 4). 12. Select User Access Menu (Option 4). 13. Use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the Master User entry (User 12). Press the [Enter]. 14. Select View/Edit User (Option 1). 15. Use the [\/] arrow key to scroll to User Access Code. 16. Press the [Enter] key to switch to the data-entry mode. 17. Use the [Back] key to erase the current value, if present. 18. Input 159. 19. Press the [Enter] key to write the change to Memory and return to the navigational mode. 20. Press the [Home] key to return to the Home Menu. 3.4 Numbering Conventions This section defines and explains the numbering conventions used in the BHS-I100. System Devices. The first Keypad is always known as Device 1. The remaining system devices, such as the Keypads and Signal Extenders, are numbered in the order in which they were learned by the system. Device numbers are simply integers: Device 1, Device 2, Device 3, etc. The following user numbers are pre-defined User Number User Name User Function 9 Host Check-In Allows the user the initiate a call to the Imagine Downloader software. The code is randomly generated and changes after each use. The new code must be obtained from Customer Care. 10 Special Bypass Restricts user’s access to select zones. 11 Duress Sends a silent panic alarm to the central station. 12 Master Gives the user access to all of the system’s user-controlled features. Below is a list of factory default zones: Zone Number Zone Type 60 Keypad Tamper 61 Line Cut 62 Fire Button 63 Medical Button 64 Police Button](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-19.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 203.5 Programming Options 3.5.1 Home Menu Option 1: Set Defaults The first option of the Home Menu is Set Defaults. This option allows you to revert the BHS-i100's programming to either the Brinks defaults or SIA (SIA CP-01-2000 Standard) compliance defaults. (Factory default is SIA Compliant mode.) When you select Set Defaults, you will be asked to confirm the request by pressing the [1] key or cancel it by pressing the [2] key. You will then be asked to select the Compliance Mode. Press [Enter], then press the [/\] and [\/] keys to show Brinks or SIA. Press [Enter] again to make your selection.

![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 31 4 System Testing And Maintenance 4.1 System 4.1.1 Installer Testing You can test all of the system’s programmed zones/sensors, including soft-zones, in the Programmer’s Installer Test mode. If the system fails to detect that a sensors/transmitter has been faulted and restored inspect those devices for malfunctions. To conduct an installer test: 1. Register the handheld Programmer to the system. 2. From the Home Menu, select Option 5: Test Menu, then option 1 Installer Test. The display looks like this, where “XX” indicates the total number of programmed zones in the system: Installer test XX zones to test Ready? 1=Yes 2=No 3. To begin the Installer test, press [1] (yes). To exit without conducting the test, press [2] (no). To stop the Installer test at any time, press the [Esc] key. While the test is in progress, the last line of the Programmer’s display scrolls through all of the system’s zones. 4. Walk through the premises, faulting each zone in turn. When a zone is faulted and restored during the test, the system’s sounders beep three times. Motion (follower) zones emit a short and long sound to distinguish them from other zone types. The zone’s number and type disappears from the scrolling list. Thus, during the test the display looks similar to the following: Installer test 3/20 tested 9 Entry/Exit This display indicates that: the system is in Installer Test mode, three of the system’s 20 zones have been faulted, and zone 9 (a window) is one of the zones that has not yet been faulted. 21. When all zones have been detected, the display looks similar to this: Test done All zones tested <Press any key> Press any key to exit Installer Test mode. (Installer Test mode ends automatically if no events are detected in a ten-minute period.) 4.1.2 Pre-Test System Reporting You can test the system’s reporting functions by conducting an Installer Test, described in the preceding section. You may also send a pre-test report, by following the procedure described below: 1. Call the Voice Response Terminal (VRT) to place the system in Pre-test Mode. The mode lasts for one hour. 2. Press the OPTIONS key on the Keypad until the icon display reads TEST ENTER CODE. 3. Enter a valid user code. The system sends a SIA test message. 4. Interpret the test results using the table below: If Then The Keypad beeps and the siren blasts Test was successful The Keypad indicates a communication problem exists Test was unsuccessful (See troubleshooting information on page 34). 22. Call the VRT a second time to obtain the test results. 4.1.3 Grid Extender Status GE Status displays the GE number, connection status, and mastership status for each Grid Extender in the system. The user does not have to refresh this display to receive status updates. 4.1.4 2.4 Ghz RSSI The RSSI is the Received Signal Strength Indication showing how strongly any GE is receiving the wireless signal from the Master. 4.1.5 Qualify Sensors You can use the qualification test to see how well messages, between the GEs and a sensor, are being to received. The test sends a burst of messages, and results show the percentage of messages received on the 2.4 GHz and 345 MHz channels. The number of GEs responding to the sensors is recorded and the signal-to-noise ratio on the 345 MHz channel is display. 4.1.6 Setting the System’s Clock The system’s internal clock is automatically set by a telephone call to the Imagine server. That call takes place when the system’s programming is changed. Approximately 15 minutes after an installer programming session ends, the system calls the Imagine to synchronize the system’s new programming with the copy stored in the Imagine’s database. Imagine automatically adjusts the system’s clock to reflect the time zone in which the customer resides. The Imagine also assumes that the system is located in an area that observes seasonal time changes (such as Daylight Savings Time). If seasonal time changes are not observed in the customer’s](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-31.png)

This battery is periodically tested under load to determine its status. If a battery can no longer hold a charge, a Low Battery status is reported on the Keypad. With the Programmer, the current battery charge can be checked.](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-32.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 33 5 Troubleshooting 5.1 Browse Events The BHS-i100 system stores more than 100 events in its event memory. You can review these events in installer programming. From the handheld Programmer’s Home Menu, select Option 8: Browse Events. The Programmer displays the following list: 1 Browse Oldest 2 Browse Newest 3 View Errors 4 View Upload 5 Clear Events To view the events in the order they occurred, select Browse Oldest. To view the events in reverse chronological order (most recent to least recent), select Browse Newest. Scroll through the list using the [/\] or [\/] keys. You may exit the browser by pressing the [Esc] key. Certain codes are used in the Event Memory log. These codes are listed below: Line on which code appears Code Significance -- The event will not be reported P The event’s report is pending R The event has been reported 2 F All attempts to report the event have failed A typical display looks like this: 03:14 9/18/05 -pRF System error: Power-on reset The first line of the display indicates that the event occurred shortly after three AM on 18 Sep 2005. The second line of the display indicates whether the event was reported to the system’s communicators, and whether each report was successfully completed. Each of the four spaces in the line represents one of the four communicators the system supports. The character that occupies the first space summarizes how the event was communicated to the first communicator. The second character in the line refers to the second communicator, and so on. Thus, in the example above, the event was: 1) not reported to communicators 1; (because the system programming did not direct the system to do so); 2) is about to be reported to Communicator 2; 3) was reported to communicator 3; and 4) could not be reported to communicator 4. The final two lines of the display describe the type of event, in this case, a power-on reset. Select View Upload to see a list of the records that are pending upload to Imagine. To erase all of the events in event memory, select Clear Events. 5.2 System information 5.2.1 Determining A Zone Number The Zone Finder allows you to determine the number of a particular zone.

The Signal Extender can receive signals from other Grid Extenders and Sensors. The Signal Extender can also be connected to a telephone line. Silent Alarm (Report). Tells the central station (or other communicator) that a silent alarm has occurred. This alarm could be an alarm on a Silent Assault zone, a Duress report, or a panic alarm from a Keychain Remote. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting. Silent Trouble. Tells the central station (or other communicator) that a trouble condition exists on a Silent Assault zone. A corresponding restoral report will be sent when the zone restores. Program “yes” to enable this type of reporting. Special Bypass Code. When entered while the system is armed, this code (User 11) instructs the system to bypass any special bypass zones. When the code is entered a second time, the bypass on these zones is removed. The code can silence alarms on special bypass zones only. Program a code of your choice. Special Bypass Enable. Instructs the system to bypass this zone when the special bypass code is entered while the system is armed. All other zones remain armed. Program “yes” to bypass this zone under these circumstances. Swap */# keys. Prevents the improper operation of the TCM in those cases where the customer’s answering machine responds to the [*] [*] [*] connecting command. If this topic is enabled, the customer presses the [#] key instead of the [*] key when accessing the TCM. Once the TCM has been accessed, however, the use of the [*] key is the same regardless of how the topic is programmed. Program “yes” to require the user to press the [#] key instead of the [*] key when connecting to the TCM. ---- T ---- Test Report Enable. Instructs the system to send periodic test reports to the central station and all other comms that have the Comm Test Report enabled. The Test Report Interval topic specifies how frequently reports are sent. Program “yes” to enable test reports to be sent. Test Report Interval. The number of hours between the transmission of test reports. (For the reports to be sent, the Test Report Enable topic must be enabled.) If the Test Report Interval is 0, the test report is sent daily. If the Test Report Interval is less than 168 hours (one week), the test report is sent sometime within a one-hour window. If the Test Report Interval is greater than 168 hours, the report is sent at a randomly chosen time within a one- day interval. Program 0-10,000 hours (416 days). Test Time of Day - Hours. Specifies the hour of the day in which a test report is sent to the central station. This topic is used in conjunction with the Test Time of Day - Minutes. Program 0-23 hours. Add 12 hours for p.m. times, for example: 13 is 1 PM, 14 is 2 PM, etc. Test Time of Day - Minutes. The minutes past the hour at which time a test report is sent to the central station. (For example, to send a test report at half-past the hour, program this topic with the number 30.) This topic is used in conjunction with the Test Time of Day- Hours. Program 0-59 minutes. Trouble Report Enable. Instructs the system to send a report to the central station whenever a trouble condition is detected. By default, trouble reports are only enabled for fire zones. Program “yes” to enable trouble reports for the zone being programmed. ---- U ---- User Bypass Enable. Allows the user to manually bypass this zone. Manually bypassed zones are restored to normal when the system is disarmed. Program “yes” to allow users to manually bypass this zone. User Code. The three- to eight-digit number that the user enters to make user-controlled changes to the system. Each user code is truncated to the number of digits programmed in the User Code Length topic. There are two pre-defined user codes: User 9 – Host Check-in User (876); and User 13 – Master User (123). You should change these default codes when programming the system. Program a unique code for the specified user. User Code Length. The number of digits in a valid user code. Any additional digits entered at the Keypad are ignored; thus, a user entering a code of “1234” is truncated to “123” when the code length is set to three. Program a value between 3 and 8. User Name. Describes the user in additional detail. Five user names have default values: User 9 (Host Check-in User), User 10 (Special Bypass User), User 11 (Duress User), and User 12 (Master User). Enter up to 24 characters. ---- V ---- Voice Mail Defeat Enable. Ensures that the Imagine software connects to the system rather than to the customer’s voice mail system. The Imagine calls the system, lets the telephone ring once or twice, then hangs up and calls back again. The Imagine repeats this sequence four times within a four-minute period. The system then answers the fourth call. Program “yes” if the homeowner has voice mail. ---- W ---- Wrap Around Enable. Instructs the system to allow the user to press up to 18 keystrokes to enter a valid user code. For example, a user code of “123” would be recognized in the four-keystroke sequence “1123.” If this topic is disabled, the system only accepts codes that are accurately entered within the same number of keystrokes as the user code length. Program “yes” to allow the wrap-around code entry. ---- Z ---- Zone #. The number of the zone assigned to a Sensor or Transmitter. Program 1-59. Zone Enabled. Tells the system whether the zone is active. This applies to all zones, including the soft zones (zones 62 – 64) and the specialty zones (zones 60 and 61). Program “yes” to activate these zones. Zone Name. Describes the zone in additional detail. Each zone type has a default name that reflects the zone function; this name can be changed to be more descriptive or to distinguish one zone from another. Enter up to 24 letters or numbers.](https://usermanual.wiki/LifeShield/IS440.User-Manual-1/User-Guide-644371-Page-48.png)
![BHS-i100 Installation and Programming Instructions 50 Appendix C: Programming Shortcuts 7.4.1 Shortcuts, Defined A shortcut is a series of numbers that takes you directly from the Home Menu to a specific point in the Advanced Programming tree. For example, you can move from the Home Menu to the View/Edit Account menu by pressing 4-3-1. This appendix contains the shortcuts for the BHS-i100. 7.4.2 Shortcut Programming Example This example shows you how you would use shortcut programming to change the length of the user code from three digits to four. 1. Locate the desired topic, User Code Length, in the table of topic shortcuts. The table shows the following information: 2. Topic 3. Shortcut 4. Ref number 5. User Code Length 6. 4-3-1 7. 4 of 10 37. From the Home Menu, press the digits of the shortcut (4, then 3, and then 1) in succession. This takes you to View/Edit Account. Press the [Enter] key to view the topics of View/Edit Account. 38. Use the arrow keys to scroll to the User Code Length topic. As the third column of the table indicates, this is the fourth item in a list of 31 topics. 39.
