My company wanted close to 1500 to replace and reprogram my home alarm. This was almost 2 years ago! I literally studied the entire bosch solutions 6000 manual and did it all myself. I wish your video was available at the time because you explained it all really well! Good on you!!!
Dear Steve, Your videos are fantastic - the best I’ve found on the internet! I recently purchased a house with a Bosch alarm system (currently unconfigured), but I haven’t been able to identify the model (cc488p1). After watching your videos, I’m wondering if I should upgrade this Bosch system. I need to purchase the manual remotes and configure the communication as well. The system only has one board, the battery is upright, and there’s one door sensor. What do you think? Should I configure it and buy the missing equipment, or would an upgrade be a better option? Thank you in advance for your advice! Best regards,
Hey Steve. Thanks so much for posting this video. It's been very difficult to find comprehensive guides how to actually set this system up in a way that makes sense. It's easy to understand. Thanks so much!
Steve you are a genius. This has made things so easy to reset the system, and then reprogram users etc. I had a couple of (quirky) errors on my system, worked around them. Thank you for your dedication and time in sharing this, which has saved me a lot of money. 😄😄
Outstanding videos, my old 488 had a fault I could not trace so a did full default reset but then all the programming was lost, this video helped me reprogram it as it is essentially the same and the RFID was on the back of the PIR. Living remotely, the cost of having an alarm tech come out would have been horrendous, so thank you very much :)
Hi Steve, this is great that you made this video. This is very helpful. I recently relocated my keypad where I have to pass two sensors to disarm my alarm. How to delay two sensors? I noticed in your video that you did not select which sensor to delay. How system knows which sensor to delay by going through 466 or 467?
Hey Steve, just wondering if you have an LCD Icon Codepad for the 2000/3000 that has firmware version v1.0 (the one that always has the keys with a backlit and longer illumination time after pressing a key)?
hi Steve, in your video, when you enter installer mode, sometime zone 15 lit up in keypad, sometime no, what is the reason? I have zone 15 lit up when i enter the installer mode, also, when i try to default reset solution 3000 panel by using same method in your video, the siren start as well, what's the reason? Thank you very much
Hi there I'm hoping you can test really help me. We have a Bosch alarm system solution 16 it was indicating a fault which was number two set date and time which I have now done and no more error is shown but the keypad still keeps beeping around 3 a.m. to around 8 a.m. any thoughts because it is making me go crazy
thank you excellent video. my system is beeping every min. I checked errors 1 and 8 which is AC fail but a power adapter is OK I tested it. how can I get rid of this error?
I have a Bosch system that about 12-15 years old. I need to set another PIN code to turn alarm on and off - zones are fine. Which tutorial do I need to watch? Also, i need new remotes - no one can suggest any - do you have any suggestions?
Hi Steve, We returned from our holiday. My alarm was on. We entered the house and tried to deactivate the alarm with our code as always. Alarm went off anyway. Tried code a few times with no luck. I had to open and then cut the wire inside the siren box. 2 and 3 are still flashing on my control board. How do I fix this? Any idea will help. Thank you. Mez
We found out that we didn't press # away key after password. So to rid off this problem we just activated and stright away deactivated alarm and all is good now. It's a bit confusing that when you activating or de activating alarm in both you have to press # away key after password. Hope this help.
Hi mate, I attempted to default my bosch by doing what you done disconnecting both ac power and battery. I hold the default button down and as soon as I reconnect the ac power, the alarm is goes off. How can I fix this? Just bought a new home and want to reset this please
hi Steve I have recently changed battery and no 1 sensor beeps every time it detect object or we walk around but won't beep with other sensors. and all 5 sensors on keypad blinks. can you suggest what could be the solution for this ? regard
Hi Steve, I recently replaced my fried board of solution 880 with a replacement one. I have tested it working with the battery but I could not figure out how to connect the adaptor to the connector as my old cable colours were yellow/green, yellow & yellow. The new adaptor that came with the board has yellow/green, red & white. I can't attach the photo here to the comment but assuming you understand what I am asking for. I do not want to connect the wrong cable and kill the board. Any chance you can help & guide me on which cable goes where? I

Hi Steve, The steps to Factory Reset the alarm panel do not seem to work on my Bosch Solution 16i ... Is there a different process to preform a hard reset / factory reset on this panel?
Goodmorning Sir. Fantastic videos... Based in Victoria. I have a few questions to ask if possible... I’m a bit of info junki. I love soaking in info. 1. Is the reason for AC power only to keep charge on the battery. Y or N. ? 2. If I remove the blue strobe outside can I replace it with a 12 v dc small spot lite. 3. So basically ,this is for an area where there is no AC power and want to eliminate the blue siren/ strobe with a lite. 4. I will use a solar power to charge. Any feedback would be great. Cheers 🍻
@@husainkhambaty6136 on the lower / bottom of the board you will see green connectors with wires going in. You need to figure out which is the siren..it will be on the output contacts..they are labeled. My siren was wired in with my strobe.
@@johnbuckley2297 @John Buckley okay..when you factory reset I recommend just disconnecting one of the wires to the siren. There is a reasonable amount of programming to do after a reset to get the system to behave itself. There isn't a setting to simply disable the siren.
Hi I have rest to factory settings successfully thanks to you as I did not have any code and now I'm using the master code. The problem is I have only 2 sensors 1 and 2 but I can see constant numbers 345678 and flashing off how can I remove that. Thank you
Hi Steve, we have just moved into our new rental. It has a Bosch alarm 3000. I tried the default that you recommended, however every-time I connect the power source the alarm keeps ringing loud. Could you assist. Many thanks.
What if I can’t arm my house for example I have this problem I can’t connect to the app which means is appears connection error unable to connect to specified panel what’s the best way to get it fixed ??

How to isolate some zone let say zone 3, on away mode?

So unplugging power and disconnected battery won't lose the settings?

If your alarm sounds when you reconnect the power, press 2580 #away.
