7.0   UL Standard 864 for Fire 
System Installations 
To install the C900V2 in compliance with UL 864 
for Fire System Installations, you must satisfy all 
requirements in this section. You must install the 
system in accordance with NFPA-72.  
If the control panels are used for fire applications, 
test according to NFPA-72. 
 
 
For UL Listed Fire Installations, shared 
on-premises communications 
equipment must be UL Listed for 
Information Technology Equipment. 
 
Installation at the Protected Premises 
1.  Use the D6200 Software to set the poll rate on 
the C900V2. For UL approved installations, the 
maximum interval is 90 seconds to meet the 
requirement for polling supervision established 
by UL. In most cases, to get a polling 
supervision interval of 90 seconds, set the Poll 
Rate to 75 and Retry to 13.  
(For non-UL approved installations, the 
maximum interval is 300 seconds to meet the 
requirement for polling supervision set by 
NFPA Standard 72, Section 5-5.4.4.1. To get a 
polling supervision interval of 300 seconds, set 
the Poll Rate to 240 and Retry to 13.) 
Because of differences in packet transmission 
time latency within different networks, the poll 
rate times vary. Contact Technical Support at 
Bosch Security Systems, Inc. for help in 
establishing the latency time for the network on 
which you are installing the C900V2.  
 
 
Refer to D6200 Software Operation and 
Installation Guide
 (P/N: 4998154991). 
 
2.  Set DIP Switch 7 to the OFF position to enable 
75-second supervision signals. 
 
 
Refer to Table 5 on page 10 for the 
functions of DIP Switches 5 through 9. 
 
3.  Add a telnet password to the communications 
protocol of the C900V2 (refer to Section 4.5.3 
Configuration Using Telnet
, step  6, on 
page 16). Retain the password for future 
reference. 
4.  Program the control panel to send a daily test 
signal through the digital dialer.  
This tests the connection from the 
control panel to the C900V2. 
5.  Connect Output 1 from the C900V2 to a  
24-hour zone on the control panel. 
This enables the control panel to 
annunciate a C900V2 CPU failure 
locally. 
6.  Connect Output 2 from the C900V2 to a  
24-hour zone on the control panel. 
This enables the control panel to 
annunciate a network failure locally. 
You must use the C900V2 with a UL 
Listed Fire Alarm Control Unit or a UL 
Listed combination Fire/Burglary Alarm 
Control Unit with an integral or UL 
Listed digital alarm communicator 
transmitter (DACT). Refer to the 
C900TTL-E and C900V2 Compatibility 
Chart 
 (P/N: 4998141056). 
7.  If the C900V2 is installed in a separate 
enclosure, you must locate the unit in the same 
room within 6.1 m (20 ft) because the control 
equipment and the wiring must be enclosed in 
conduit (or equivalently protected against 
mechanical injury).  
Mounting a C900V2 in a control panel 
enclosure is approved by UL only when 
used with a DS 7400Xi as shown in 
Figure 5 on page 6. 
8.  You must use the C900V2 with a UL Listed 
Power Supply (such as Altronix
®
 AL300-
ULXR). 
9.  Set DIP Switch 5 to OFF to disable Auto 
Fallback. 
10.  Set DIP Switch 6 to ON to prevent fallback 
caused hang-ups. 
Intercept errors are reported to the 
receiver. If the receiver does not 
acknowledge a signal sent that was 
intercepted by the C900V2 in the 
programmed time, the control panel 
digital dialer hangs up and retries the 
message transmission. 
11.  Set DIP Switch 9 to ON to enable Anti-
Substitution/Anti-Replay. 
12.  Set the shorting link on P3 to the H position. 
Refer to Figure 13 on page 24 and Table 11 on 
page 25 for the proper connection sequence.
