I bought a Bosch Solution 3000 (v1.2) and got everything I needed to upgrade it to wireless. I downloaded the A-Link Plus software and upgraded the firmware, which caused the software to promptly stop working. Bosch must have released 4.12 recently because I had version 4.11 download the other day and updating to 4.12 fixed the communication problems as I was able to select firmware version 2.0 (which was new in the menu and weird because I thought it corresponded to the version of PCB but whatever).
I plugged the Radion B810 receiver in and entered the RFID numbers on the keyfobs and downloaded to the control panel and they were able to arm and disarm the system. I entered the RFID numbers of the wireless PIR, powered them on and downloaded to the control panel but after I arm the system they do not set the alarm off. I have tried with a normal PIR and the TRI TECH PIR. The keyfobs worked straight away so I am not sure what settings I need to use in A-Link Plus that I am clearly not using. I tried changing Zone - zone config - type - Instant, 24 hour burglar, delay-1 etc and none of them caused alarm to go off.
When I put batteries into the PIR they turned on and blinked accordingly. Other than that all the settings are default and Bosch is HARD to find details on.
Anyone know anything? This Radion line of gear cant be THAT newI might go try one of the hardwired PIR's and see what happens.
But until then I still need my wireless ones to work Now I understand they power off to some degree to conserve battery but why tf would they turn off when the system is armed?.if. that is the issue here.

But until then I still need my wireless ones to work Now I understand they power off to some degree to conserve battery but why tf would they turn off when the system is armed? I am stumped I have tried heaps of waiting in case they are just in sleep mode but some forum spoke of testing the tamper and even that doesn't set the alarm off. PIR does its initial walk test blinks and that's it- no communication with the receiver at all.
Key fobs still work and set alarm off when I pressed both (panic alarm) at the same time. I'm not sure if the alarm should be armed or something as I put the batteries in etc, have tried nearly everything I think. The instructions are just a bunch of pictures that are hard to make sense.why not just write a list, instead of drawing stick figures, timers, screw drivers and arrows. It's very confusing but the radion isn't getting the signal from the PIR for some reason.
