Check your power supply transformer – typically an unassuming beige box (wall wart) connected to an outlet near the Command Center – to make sure it has power, voltage is correct and everything works as intended.
Function keys perform the same commands as two-digit keypad commands. For more information, refer to D6112:MAIN Program Entry Guide or D4112 Installation and Programming Manual.
System Overview
The D6112 is a hardwire, supervised single account device model for one central station and three devices. It features three end-of-line resistor supervised hardwire protective zones which report back directly to its Command Center; four conductor cable provides power, data in and out, as well as common between it and each device.
As soon as the system is secured, its Command Center chime sounds and the entrance warning LED (which may be programmed) flashes (programmable). Furthermore, its display toggles between account armed status indicator and passcode entry indication.
Whenever the D6112 detects a trouble condition, it will sound its trouble buzzer and show an LCD display with a report (refer to 5.10 Command 42 Diag Rpt in D6112 Installation and Programming Guide #74-04367-000 for more details). A second report can be displayed by pressing Command 42 again.
IF the troublebuzzer does not sound, check the Power Supply transformer (16.5VAC, 40VA). This can be found as a small beige box called a wall wart plugged into an outlet; typically located near your panel but can also be located anywhere else. Make sure it’s connected properly and is functioning.
Control Panel
Radionics (now Bosch) panels remain one of the most reliable security systems, often found in older homes. Unfortunately, these are also some of the oldest and most complex systems ever made; programming them may be challenging.
The D6112 is an alarm control panel without an enclosure that features eight onboard zones that can be expanded up to 16 using an expansion board, three supervised zones reporting directly to a Command Center (and each can be changed remotely with its own passcode), two line, sixteen character LCD display with custom text output for system status updates and zone activity tracking, two 16 character LCD displays that display real time status updates as well as keypad with custom text input for custom status programming and zone activity tracking, custom keypad input text support for system status monitoring purposes as well as two lines with sixteen character LCD displays for system status updates or zone activities respectively.
This panel is compatible with RPS, and programming it can be accomplished either with a direct connection module installed at the panel itself or through modem connected via DX4020 modem – these modules and programmers are available both from RPS as well as from manufacturers. In order to connect to either, two locks need to be cleared first: RAMlock is usually set to 999999 while datalock ranges between 1 to 65535; usually set to 12345 respectively.
To successfully unlock RAMlock and datalock you should first disconnect power from the Command Center and cut and remove resistor R36 (see figure 2) before gently pushing back two bottom cover tabs with a flat bladed screwdriver so they slide open off of their respective enclosures bases.
Assure the power supply transformer (16.5 VAC, 40VA) is connected – this should be a beige box with an outlet near the panel in an out-of-the-way location – as well as that the Command Center wiring connections have proper terminations, serialdatawirtngconnector is properly connected (small white connector with red/black wire in its back), serialdatawirtngconnector is properly secured (small white connector in back enclosure with red/black wire), serialdatawirtngconnector has proper terminations, wiring connections checking for proper terminations as well.) Finally, check the Command Center wiring connections as well as check that their connections at their Command Center are properly terminated while simultaneously checking all wiring connections for proper terminations at their Command Center to ensure proper terminations. Finally make sure plugged-in power supply transformer (16.5VAC/40VA) as it should reside behind its panel for easy plug-in.
Keypads
Radionics d6112 keypads can be an ideal way to operate home security systems. With their display and number pad for entering commands, these simple keypads are generally compatible with most alarm systems. However, it’s essential that you choose one which meets both your budget and panel model specifications as well as including an additional backup battery to ensure optimal operation of your alarm system.
The D636A comes preprogrammed with function keys that perform standard two-digit command functions, while you can customize its programming using the D6112:MAIN Program Entry Guide. A, B and C function keys can be programmed to perform specific command functions such as local system testing or reseting detectors.
As soon as a keypad is armed, an audible pulsating tone will sound during the entry delay period to remind users to disarm the alarm system. You may temporarily shunt a zone according to the procedure outlined in your panel manual; but keep in mind that any temporary changes must be repeated each time you arm your system.
Cutting the D636A keypad backlight jumper (W4) will stop its digital display from continuously lighting up. Instead, only when pressing a key or when entering entry delay mode or alarm memory will it illuminate.
The D636A keypad comes equipped with a pigtail for communication between itself and the control panel, connecting via serial data terminals via twisted pair wires. When needed, this pigtail can be unplugged to disconnect from one system before connecting another one later using another pigtail.
LCD Display
The D6112 features a two-line 16-character LCD display with 15 custom text fields that can be programmed. It illuminates during entry delay, alarms and keyed Command Center digits. An armed status indicator informs subscribers of account armed conditions; its configuration allows subscribers to choose either to show this or trouble reports; to access trouble reports simply key in “Command 42” at their Command Center (please refer to page 5.10 in Installation and Programming Guide #74-04367-000 for details).
It also features an onboard alphanumeric display to show English language zone descriptions, while four conductors connect directly to its control panel for data-in, data-out and common.
