Designed for Existing Alarm System Upgrades
This basic upgrade kit is suitable for replacing ageing alarm control equipment while retaining compatible security devices already installed throughout the property.
Depending on their condition and compatibility, the following existing components may be reusable:
- Hardwired motion detectors
- Pet-friendly motion detectors
- Door and window reed switches
- Glass-break detectors
- Internal and external sirens
- Strobe lights
- Alarm cabling
- Compatible plug-pack power supply
- Suitable 12V backup battery
Existing components must be tested before they are reused. Older batteries, damaged cabling, unreliable detectors and worn sirens may require replacement as part of the upgrade.
Customise Your Bosch Solution 3000 Alarm
This basic kit can be expanded with compatible Bosch alarm equipment selected to suit the property:
Optional Smartphone Control with Bosch RSC+
Smartphone connectivity is not included in this basic upgrade kit. Add the Bosch B426-M IP Module to connect a compatible Solution 3000 system to the Bosch RSC+ app.
Depending on the system configuration, the RSC+ app can provide:
- Remote arming and disarming
- Push notifications for alarm events
- System and zone-status viewing
- Event-history access
- Control of configured outputs
The B426-M requires a compatible network connection and professional configuration. Internet, data and monitoring-service charges may apply separately.
Cable Requirements
Cable is not included with this upgrade kit. The existing alarm cabling may be reusable if it is compatible and in suitable condition.
New wired alarm installations commonly use 4-core security cable for codepads, detectors, sirens and related alarm devices. The required cable type, length and number of conductors should be confirmed by the installer before ordering.
