Four different views are supported by the RPS software basic screen:
Panel List (standard)
Operator List
Template List
Activity List
In the Panel List view you have a short overview of all saved panel configurations made with
this RPS version. In Pic. 2 only the panel Sample was configured with this RPS.
In the Operator List view you have a short overview of all saved operators of this RPS software.
Double click on the standard user ADMIN to view Operator Data in a new window. In this win-
dow you can change the name, security level and password. Additionally further information to
full name, phone number address and notes could be made.
With a right click on an existing user you can select New to add a new operator to RPS. Please
fill out the window and click OK.
In the Activity List view you can check the RPS protocol of all activities done with this RPS soft-
ware.
If you open an RPS account you will see there is a fixed structure. First there are multiple
nodes displayed. If you open one of the nodes you will see the same kind of list opening. This
list can be split up in two main parts.
Hardware side:
In the upper section you see all hardware that is physically connected to the panel. These are
the CAN Bus modules and the LSN elements on the loops. This list is generated automatically
by the panel during full auto detection. If you start a full auto detection the MPC will scan the
CAN Bus and the loops. You start an auto detection by clicking right on the FPA5000 Node.
Here you can select panel topology (only scan the CAN Bus) or full auto detection (scan the
CAN Bus + the LSN loops). The LSN loops can be scanned separately per loop by clicking
right on the LSN module.
Logic rules side:
In the lower section you see all logical rules programmed for I/O mapping.

Add the label and the home screen texts, shown on the controller during the systems normal
operation mode.
Select the address cards installed in the panel controller. The leftmost address card is in posi-
tion 1 on the controller.
Note Each element that is able to alarm or to trigger needs an address. Ensure an
adequate number of addresses is available with installed address cards.
Outputs and inputs don’t need addresses (for example NACs).
Leave reset mode at option Panel Reset to ensure that all elements with an off normal state
are reset on the reset command (see Pic. 17).
If the checkbox Additional Fault Causes External Alarm is selected, an internal alarm can
change to an external alarm if an additional fault message arrives during alarm investigation.
If the panel should use the Day/Night mode enter the maximum time to acknowledge before an
alarm goes external in day mode operation. With max Time to Acknowledge you define the
time (in seconds) within which an alarm must be acknowledged in order to start the alarm in-
vestigation.
Set the time, after which an alarm can be reset with Enable Reset After.
Monitoring Period: set the time window within which the triggering of a second alarm will lead
to an external alarm. This time window is used by Dual Detector Dependency and Dual
Group Dependency.

The functional key on the panel controller can be programmed for various functions like setting
panel in day mode, reset, login etc. The following programming is for login Operator 2 in key
position 1 and reset panel in key position 2.
Path: Network -> Nodes -> Node x.x -> FPA-5000 -> Logical grouping / activation -> Panel
administration
1. Right click on Panel Administration and select Add Event Triggered Rule.
Program the first trigger rule to Compound state, element type Input, address 1, sub-
address 0; to state administrative Normal and logical on, Activation Login and 2.
Program the second trigger rule to Compound state, element type Input, address 1, sub-
address 0, to state administrative Normal and logical off, Activation Logoff and 2.
Program the third trigger rule to Compound state, element type Input, address 2, sub-
address 0, to state administrative Normal and logical on, Activation Reset local.
Note The key switches are using the addresses 1 and 2 by default. If you don’t
want to use key switch commands set the address to 0 to disable.
Program the alarm delay mechanism of the panel. Therefore you have to program the three
steps
Program day and night mode
Program verification time
Program acknowledge time
Path: Network -> Nodes -> Node x.x -> FPA-5000 -> Logical grouping / activation -> Groups ->
Group x
Double click on the detector group you want to activate the day mode.
Activate the check box Day Mode to enable the alarm verification feature and set the alarm
verification time (in minutes).
Set the max Time to Acknowledge and the Monitoring Period (Pic. 18 on page 20).
The Usage Type defines the type under which the triggering event is displayed on the panel.
Fire will be reported, if a detector triggers an alarm.
Note For multi criterion detectors (e.g. FAP-DOTC420) at least two criterion
alarms must be reported simultaneously.
Multi-Criterion message type can be set for multi criterion detectors. The detector can
cause messages for “Heat” (thermal alarm), “Smoke” (optical alarm) or “Fire” when trig-
gered.
Fire internal: Only an internal alarm will be displayed. This option was originally created
for blue manual call points, which have the purpose of house internal alarm.
Heat and Smoke: Considering a fire alarm. This alarm will be added to the alarm counter.
This options offering a better possibility to distinguish between different fire alarms and the
triggered actions by the alarms.
Supervisory: Mainly used in the USA. Used for supervisory of fans, lift etc.
Water: Mainly used in the USA. Used to control the water status of sprinkler systems (flow
guard).
2.7.2 Dependencies:
Dual Detector Dependency: needs two detectors in alarm in the same group to trigger an alarm
Dual Group Dependency: Needs a second chosen group in alarm.
Prealarm Latching: The prealarm needs a panel reset to be cleared.
Note The time windows for dual detector dependency and dual group dependency
were set in the panel configuration window. See chapter 2.1 Setting the MPC
ready to use, Pic. 18 on page 20.
2.7.3 Address:
The Address area shows the logic address of the element. It defines the group number and
the element number in the group. If you change the group number, the element will automati-
cally be added to the specified group. See also 2.8 Working with detector groups on page 29
In Intermediate Alarm Storage an alarm goes external immediately if two detectors triggering
an alarm within the set time window. If only one detector triggers an alarm, the pre-alarm is re-
set after the specified time window.
You can specify the output number you like to activate on a panel reset command to turn off
the voltage for this element. The reset time indicates how long the output is active.
2.7.7 Sensitivity
Set the sensitivity of the detector to the environmental conditions. Sensitivity is used in day
mode and Further Sensitivity in night mode.

The RPS program is based on logical “rules” to do mapping of input signals to output actions.
This is the basis of RPS, once this concept is fully understood, the flexibility will almost be end-
less and the programming is strait forward and predictable.
What you need to understand is, that RPS has three logical rules where everything is based
on:
State dependent rules
Event triggered rules
Counter rules
The goal in programming a fire panel is to enroll a certain action if a certain input comes to the
panel, a certain action enrolls. Like, if a detector detects smoke, the sounder goes of. Or if the
main power fails, a trouble LED lights up, etc. Numerous of these type of actions you like to
program. This is called input – output mapping. For the I/O mapping Bosch uses the three
types of rules.
If a certain element, group of elements or device reaches a certain “state” the action will enroll.
Output LED PF 0 1 0
If a certain “state change” takes place in an element, group of elements or device the action will
enroll. So, this rule triggers on the flank of a specified state change. For example, if detector
group1 goes from normal to fire alarm condition, the sounders in group 1 will go off.
Fire
Detector group 1 1 0 1 0
Normal
On
Sounder group 1 0 1 0
Off
There is one important note to consider using this rule. The rule only works if the state change
takes place exactly as programmed. If for instance the detector group 1 would first go into trou-
ble state, and then move from trouble to fire condition, the sounders would not respond!
Fire
1
Detector group 1 1 Trouble
Normal
0 1
Sounder group 1 On
Off
0 0 0
This rule is based on the logical value of a counter. If a counter reaches a certain “counter
value”, the action will enroll. IF counter > 1 Then Action = 1 Else Action = 0
The default counters count with a panel wide scope (Not a network wide scope!). This means
for the fire alarm counter that any element in the fire system that generates a fire alarm, regard-
less what group, zone or loop it is on, will increase the counter value by 1. This is a very save
logical rule, because you hardly overlook any element part of the fire system in the logical I/O
mapping.
Group 2
Group 3
Example:
GR1 GR2
GR3 GR4
FPA5000
Group 1
Group 2
Group 3
Fire counter = 3
Fire counter Group2 = 1
Day mode can only be assigned if the element is enabled for day mode setting. To do this dou-
ble click on the respective Group, then check the check box Day Mode. The Day Mode as-
signment can not be done on the detector level.
Note If the user switches on the panel to day mode and the moon still appears,
there is probably no group assigned for day mode.
By default different set types are implemented. Sets 1, 2, 32 and 33 can not be deleted.
Maximum number of sets: 128.
One general walk test (WT) group and 12 additional walk test groups are implemented by de-
fault (one walk test group for each month). The assignment of inputs to different walk test
groups enables the user to organize better his annual walk test visits. With the configuration the
user can assign elements, zones, loops to different WT-group (= months). Onsite the installer
only has to activate the WT-group of the present month. All elements that need to be tested are
automatically assigned and put into WT-mode. After the test the user can easily control which
elements had been tested and which not. The elements not tested can be tested then or can be
moved to the next WT-period, thus avoiding that some elements will be overseen for testing.
The content of every WT-Group can be changed at the panel.
Those devices can only be used for walk test when “walk test” has been checked at the device
window.
Set 3 – Walk test Group
This group contains all elements, zones etc. that are not assigned to the walk test groups 01 to
12. When all elements etc. are assigned to walk test groups 1-12, this group disappears auto-
matically at the panel. When new elements etc. appear or are eliminated from existing walk test
groups (1-12), this group will be opened automatically again. It can’t be deleted in RPS or on
the panel.
Hint
Use the advantages of the walk test groups. By using it properly they can improve the walk test
organization considerably. This is a feature other panels do not have.
The user can assign all logical and physical devices to these groups.
Advantage: The regular bypassing or blocking of a set of devices is much faster in a group
than individually device by device. This can be used when for a certain period certain devices
have to be bypassed for some time (e.g. temporary construction works). The content of every
set can be changed at the panel.
By default all outputs are assigned to this group and a rule is created. Elements can be taken
out by the user.
Content of rule: If user 9 is logged in, all outputs in Set 32 will be blocked.
Hint:
Extract this rule as a template, adapt it and use for other applications.
It was created for the FBF. Set 33 groups all the inputs (e.g. detectors, manual call points) that
activate the "Fire Extinguishing System activated" LED in the FBF in the alarm state. No addi-
tional rule is necessary. All devices collected in this group will activate the LED “Fire Extin-
guishing System activated” at the FBF.
Will be created automatically when „Printer“ is assigned (see 4.5.2 RS 232 interface on page
52).
Note When “Printer” is not assigned anymore at the RS 232 Interface the settings
under “Printer Management” remain. They have to be eliminated manually.
Note By default certain states will be printed: Fire, Trouble, bypass on/off, block
on/off. If additional states etc. shall be printed, they have to be programmed.
When the printer is eliminated, the RS 232 Interface assignment will switch automatically back
to “Direct Connection”.
Support information
These data are shown in the panel. Company name “Bosch Security Systems” is default, but
can be replaced.
Purpose:
Contact information of installer for support is always available in the panel.
service for customer
recommend installer to enter his contact data
Adjust communication speed. Therefore the speed at the COM Port is being configured. With
the next download to the panel this speed will be downloaded to the panel. The next time when
connecting the laptop to the panel, the panel will communicate with that speed. The transmis-
sion speed at the panel can be seen in the diagnostic function.
If the adjusted speed at the panel and the laptop is different no communication will be possible.
Reset type
The selected reset type will appear when pressing the key reset at the home page of the panel.
Assign reset mode:
By event type: all elements that are the same state as the selected element will be
reset.
By menu: reset menu appears with the options (reset loop, zone, element)

5.2 Programming
You can program the BCM-0000-B Module with double-clicks on every node or double-click on
BCM-0000-B – Battery Controller Module to have access to all program options.
Note By default addresses are assigned to the two battery pairs (here 1 and 2). If
one or no battery pair is physically connected to the panel, the addresses of
the missing battery pair MUST be removed. If it is not removed, a fault mes-
sage will continuously appear in the panel.
Note Use the checkboxes of this menu to select or deselect the used battery
pairs.
If Battery 2 Connected is deselected the Address of battery pair 2 is auto-
matically set to 0.
Battery
Address = 1 or 2
Battery pair is connected
Address = 0
Battery pair not connected
Note By default addresses are assigned to the two battery pairs (here 1 and 2). If
one or no battery pair is physically connected to the panel, the addresses of
the missing battery pair MUST be removed. If it is not removed a fault mes-
sage will continuously appear in the panel.
Note If unchecked, check box Battery Buffered the connected equipment will be-
come inoperative in case of power interruption.
Note The total current of all connected components, including the battery charge
current, must not exceed 6 A.
The LSN 0300 A module and LSN 1500 A module enables the connection of an LSN loop with
up to 254 elements. It is also possible to use the module with T-tapping or up to two stubs.
The difference between the two modules is the LSN power that the modules can provide. Ac-
cording to a LSN power of 300 mA of the LSN 0300 A the supported maximum loop length is
1600 m. The LSN 1500 A supports a loop length up to 3000 m with 1500 mA.
Note The loop length depends on the load of the loop. Use the FSD to calculate
the maximum loop length with needed elements on the loop.
6.2 Programming
You can program the LSN 0300 A Module with double-clicks on every node.
Double click on the LSN 300 Module (LSN 1500 module) node to set up the module.
Creeping Short – Disable for Test: This setting is for testing the LSN loop with a LSN simula-
tor. Leave Disable for Test unchecked in normal operation mode.
If you use a redundant LSN module you can add the number of the slot this module was placed
in Redundant.
Label: Please add a describing name for the LSN module.
In Mode you can select
LSN CL
LSN improved
LSN improved – T-tap
Note Classic LSN busses do not support T-tapping. In LSN classic busses a maxi-
mum of 127 elements can be used.
Note T-tapping is only available with LSN improved busses. The combination of
LSN improved – T-tap and the selected topology defines whether it is a stub
or a loop with T-tapping.
Note In T-tapping mode an automatic addressing of the LSN elements is not pos-
sible. Each element needs a manually configured unique address.
With the dropdown Topology the LSN modules can be set to Loop (style 6&7) or
Stub (style 4) topology.
Detect 4-Wire Short: Activate the checkbox to detect single short-circuits between all four ca-
ble strands of a standard fire detector cable. The LSN module will switch off the AUX power in
case of an LSN bus malfunction and test each element of the bus. The bus will be split after the
last working element without malfunction to ensure the function of the rest of the bus.
EN54-13 compliant: For EN 54-13 compliant operation of the LSN bus. If the function is acti-
vated, each free end of the LSN bus must be terminated with an end of line Module. Lines with
four-wire elements must be terminated with an FLM-420-EOL4W. Lines with two-wire elements
must be terminated with an FLM-420-EOL2W-W
Possible setting of Mode at node LSN 0300 or LSN 1500: LSN CL, LSN improved
After setting the options for the LSN module elements have to be added to the bus.
Right click on the LSN-Bus and select Add element.
Select the element you want to add to the LSN-Bus (I) out of the list of Possible elements. Set
the number of times you want to add this element with No. of times to add (II) and add the
elements with >>>.
After adding elements to the LSN-Bus the chosen number of elements are displayed in Ele-
ments to be added. The LSN 300 Module information area shows the maximum power rating
of the bus and the used consumption of all elements on the bus.
After clicking OK the used power consumption of the LSN-bus is shown in the RPS-structure
view. The chosen number of elements was added to the bus and could be configured sepa-
rately.
How to set up detectors please see chapter 2.7 Configure detectors on page 27
Note In loops you can use a maximum of 256 elements in LSN improved mode or
127 elements in LSN classic mode.
Note If you add elements with power consumption higher than the LSN bus rating
the LSN 300 Module information changes to red.
If you want to use both possible LSN stubs you have to add a second LSN-bus
How to add elements to the stubs, please see chapter 6.2.2 LSN Loop, on page 60.
Detectors can be added to the LSN bus as shown in chapter 6.2.2 LSN Loop, on page 60. To
add the detectors in the same level of the T-tap uncheck the checkbox T-Tap loop series ad-
dition.
As the result of this action the ten added detectors were added in the same level:
To add the new detector in a T-tap keep the checkbox T-Tap loop series addition checked.
7. CZM 0004 A
The conventional zone module allows connecting existing conventional peripherals. The mod-
ule offers four monitored conventional lines. The lines can be wired in loop or stub topology.
Maximum power per conventional line 100 mA
Maximum AUX power for every conventional line 300 mA
The lines use EOL resistors or EOL modules (EN 54-13 compliant).
7.2 Programming
Path: Network -> Nodes -> Node x.x -> FPA-5000 -> CZM
Set the slot the module is installed in the fire alarm system and a describing label.
If you activate EN 54-13 compliant each zone has to be terminated with an EOL-module.
Note If 4-wire-detectors are used at the CZM 0004 A module with EN 54-13, only
AUX power outputs of the BCM-0000-B and the LSN 0300 A and the
LSN 1500 A can be used.
The AUX power outputs of the CZM 0004 A are not EN 54-13 compliant.
For more information about EN 54-13 see chapter 17 on page 103.
You can program the CZM 0004 A Module with double-clicks on every node.

Supervisory: Mainly used in the USA. Used for supervisory of fans, lift etc.
Trouble: If a detector with the Usage Type Trouble cause an alarm, only a trouble mes-
sage will be generated.
Water: Mainly used in the USA. Used to control the water status of sprinkler systems (flow
guard).
7.3.2 Address:
The Address area shows the logic address of the element. It defines the group number and
the element number in the group. If you change the group number, the element will automati-
cally be added to the specified group. See also 2.8 Working with detector groups on page 29
In Intermediate Alarm Storage an alarm goes external immediately if two detectors triggering
an alarm within the set time window. If only one detector triggers an alarm, the pre-alarm is re-
set after the specified time window.
7.3.4 Dependencies:
Dual Detector Dependency: needs two detectors in alarm in the same group to trigger an
alarm
Dual Group Dependency: If this checkbox is activated, an alarm is only triggered if two detec-
tors in different groups are in alarm state. The number of the second detector group have to be
added.
Prealarm Latching: The prealarm needs a panel reset to be cleared.
Note The time windows for dual detector dependency and dual group dependency
were set in the panel configuration window. See chapter 2.1 Setting the MPC
ready to use, Pic. 18 on page 20.
