DS9400 Series | Release Notes for Firmware V2.07 | 5.0 
DS9400 Series Version 2.03A October, 2002 
 
Bosch Security Systems | 8/06 | 36925V 
 
 
Wheelock Sync Protocol. This feature no 
longer requires the Detection Systems 
D411/D412 in order to produce Temporal Code 
3. 
 
Auto Silence Operation. The auto-silence 
operation is now correctly processed on a 
system configured to use the autosilence feature 
that powers up with a trouble condition. 
 
Reorganized Phone Programming Menu. To 
better differentiate phone line features versus 
phone number features, the phone programming 
menu has been reorganized. 
 
Relay Outputs. When an output is set to follow 
a point, the output releases when the silence key 
is pressed. This feature has been fixed and will 
now stay latched for elevator recall and fan 
control. 
5.0  DS9400 Series Version 
2.03A October, 2002 
Version 2.03A firmware for the DS9400 Series Fire 
Alarm Control Panels incorporates a change in the 
Contact ID reports and a change in the Trouble 
Relay Function as described below. 
 
Contact ID Reporting. The system can be 
programmed to send a periodic test report, 
E602, in Contact ID format. If any system 
troubles are present at the periodic test time, a 
new event, E608, which states “New event, off 
normal at time of periodic test report” is sent.  
Software versions 2.03 and before sent a generic 
system trouble P300 report. 
 
General Trouble Relay Function for the 
onboard relays only. In order to provide an 
output that is energized when the control panel 
is operating normally, the operation of the 
“General Trouble" output type (Zone 62) has 
been changed. 
 
The change is observed when Zone "A" for one 
of the two on-board relays is programmed using 
Zone 62 (General Trouble).  For this output, the 
relay will be energized when there are no 
troubles present in the system.  When there is a 
trouble, the relay will de-energize. 
 
For this relay to function properly, Zones "B", 
"C", and "D" must be programmed with a value 
of "00".  The General Trouble output function 
can not be combined with any other output 
function. 
 
 
When communicating to the control panel 
using RPS, the control panel will report 
v2.03 software installed even when the 
upgrade v2.03A has been installed. 
6.0  Fixed Items in Firmware 
Version 2.03  
 
 
The following list of fixed items only applies 
to control panels that have version 2.03 
firmware installed and a date code later 
than 9935. These items may still apply to 
control panels running an earlier version of 
firmware, and/or have a date code of 9935 
or earlier. 
 
“REPROGRAM SYS” Message: With 
firmware version 2.03, the System Trouble 
message, “TROUBLE EEPROM” has been 
changed to “REPROGRAM SYS.” This message 
will appear: 
 
when the control panel is powered up for the 
first time with firmware version 2.03 installed 
 
if there is an invalid EEPROM checksum 
 
if the control panel has been defaulted 
improperly and system programming has not 
been performed 
 
To clear the “REPROGRAM SYS” message, use 
the following procedure: 
 
From the Main Menu, press the 0/Prog key to 
enter the Programming Menu. The 
Programming Menu will appear. 
 
Reprogram the system according to site-specific 
information.  
 
Exit the programming mode by pressing the 
*/Clear key until the Main Menu reappears. 
If the control panel is defaulted from the 
programming mode, the “REPROGRAM SYS” 
message will not appear. When this message 
appears, check all programming entries from the 
built-in user interface, or from a remote 
connection using Bosch Security Systems’ RPS 
Remote Programming Software.
