BOSCH SECURITY VIDEO DS160 Security Series, High Performance Request to exit Detector (NA) User Manual

1. Introduction

The Bosch DS160 Series Request-to-Exit (REX) Detector is engineered for high-performance security applications. This series includes the DS160 Detector (light gray) and the DS161 Detector (black), both designed to facilitate secure and efficient egress. Featuring adjustable timers, an integrated door monitor with sounder alert, and precise pointable coverage, the DS160 and DS161 offer the versatility required for demanding REX installations. The inclusion of exclusive Sequential Logic Input (SLI) enhances security beyond standard REX devices.

2. Key Features

• Door Monitor with Sounder Alert: Provides audible notification for door status, enhancing security awareness.
• Sequential Logic Input (SLI): Offers advanced security by requiring a specific sequence of events for activation, preventing unauthorized exits.
• Internal Vertical Pointability: Allows for precise adjustment of the detection area, optimizing performance for various installation environments.
• Flexible REX Applications: Designed to meet stringent Request-to-Exit requirements in diverse security systems.

3. Setup and Installation

The DS160 detector is designed for easy integration into existing security systems. Proper installation ensures optimal performance and reliable operation.

3.1 Mounting the Detector

The DS160 is primarily designed for Door Mount installations. Ensure the mounting surface is stable and provides a clear line of sight for the detection area.

3.2 Power Connection

The DS160 operates on a Corded Electric power source. Connect the detector to a stable power supply as per local electrical codes and the detailed wiring diagram provided in the full product manual (not included here). Ensure proper voltage and current are supplied to prevent damage to the unit.

4. Operation

The DS160 detector is designed to provide a reliable request-to-exit signal for access control systems. When a person approaches the protected area from the inside, the detector senses their presence and sends a signal to unlock the door.

• REX Functionality: The primary function is to detect movement within its field of view, triggering an exit request.
• Adjustable Timers: The detector features internal timers that can be configured to control the duration of the unlock signal, allowing for customized exit delays.
• Door Monitor: Integrated door monitoring capabilities provide real-time status of the door, which can be linked to an alarm system or central monitoring station.
• Sounder Alert: The built-in sounder can be activated to provide an audible alert when the door is opened or held open beyond a set time.
• Sequential Logic Input (SLI): For enhanced security, the SLI feature can be configured to require additional inputs (e.g., a push button or card swipe) in a specific sequence before the REX signal is activated. Consult the full technical manual for detailed SLI configuration.

5. Maintenance

The Bosch DS160 detector requires minimal maintenance to ensure continuous optimal performance.

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically wipe the detector's lens and housing with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Inspection: Annually inspect the wiring connections for any signs of wear or damage. Ensure the detector is securely mounted.
• Functionality Test: Regularly test the REX functionality to confirm the detector is properly sensing movement and triggering the exit request.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your DS160 detector, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Detector Not Activating:
  • Check power supply connections.
  • Verify the detection area is clear of obstructions.
  • Ensure the detector's sensitivity settings are appropriate for the environment.
• False Activations:
  • Adjust the detection sensitivity or coverage area.
  • Ensure there are no environmental factors (e.g., strong air currents, direct sunlight) causing interference.
• Door Monitor/Sounder Issues:
  • Confirm wiring to the door contact and sounder output is correct.
  • Check configuration settings for the door monitor and sounder alert.

For complex issues or if troubleshooting steps do not resolve the problem, consult a qualified security technician or refer to the complete technical documentation.
