Bosch ENKIT-SDI2 SDI2 Bus Interface and Receiver Kit
Overview
The Bosch ENKIT-SDI2 provides a critical bridge for integrating Inovonics EchoStream wireless devices into Bosch security systems. This kit specifically includes the B820 Inovonics SDI2 Bus Interface and the EN4200 EchoStream Serial Receiver. It's designed for installers needing to leverage existing Inovonics wireless sensor networks, such as door/window contacts, motion detectors, or glass break sensors, within a Bosch B-series control panel environment. This enables a unified security platform without requiring extensive rewiring or replacement of wireless sensor infrastructure.
Compatibility
This kit is designed to interface Inovonics EchoStream wireless devices with Bosch control panels that support the SDI2 bus. Specifically, the B820 interface connects to the SDI2 bus, while the EN4200 receiver communicates wirelessly with Inovonics transmitters. It is compatible with Bosch control panels such as the B4265, B5208, B8208, and other systems utilizing the SDI2 expansion bus. Ensure your Bosch control panel firmware supports the B820 interface for full functionality.
Installation Notes
The B820 SDI2 bus interface requires a direct connection to the SDI2 bus terminals on a compatible Bosch control panel. The EN4200 receiver should be positioned to maximize wireless signal reception from the Inovonics transmitters, typically in a central location within the protected area. Power for the B820 is drawn from the SDI2 bus itself. The EN4200 requires a separate 12VDC power source (not included). Configuration involves enrolling the EN4200 receiver with the B820 interface and then enrolling Inovonics wireless transmitters to the EN4200 via the control panel's programming interface.
