Bosch B465 Universal Dual Path Communicator

The B465 Conettix Universal Dual Path Communicator converts the Public Switch Telephone Network (PSTN) digital dialer, or dry contact outputs from an intrusion/fire control panel to an IP signal for transmission over the Ethernet or cellular network. The B465 Conettix Universal Dual Path Communicator is UL 864 10th Edition approved per NFPA 72 version 2013. The module can use its built-in Ethernet connection, and/or an optional Conettix plug-in cellular module (B440/B441/B442/B443) /B444 to send reports to the central station receiver.

Configuration of the automation software for the supported control panel remains unchanged with the installation of the B465 module, simplifying the installation process. This allows for a smooth transition from the PSTN realm into IP. All messages generated internally by the B465 are shown in Contact ID format at the central station. The module can be powered from a 16.5 VAC transformer or 24 VDC power supply.
