Bosch Security Systems has added to its intrusion alarms for residential and small to medium commercial use with two new members of the AMAX family of control panels. And RADION is a new family of wireless peripherals. Private households as well as owners of SMBs (Small Medium Businesses) now can choose between wireless and wired detectors.
Introduced in 2013, AMAX 4000 is now backed by two new intrusion control panels – AMAX 3000 and AMAX 2100. According to the company AMAX 2100 is suitable for small applications with a maximum of eight zones, AMAX 3000 is for sites where 32 zones are required, and AMAX 4000 covers larger properties with up to 64 zones, for instance a medical centre with several practices in the building. The 3000 and 4000 can also run in hybrid mode, connecting wired detectors, such as Bosch Blue Line Gen2 Series, as well as wireless peripherals from the new RADION family. The 2100 runs wired detectors only.

The new RADION wireless products include motion detectors, surface and recessed mount door and window contacts, universal transmitter, keyfobs and smoke detector. This makes it suitable according to the manufacturers for new installations, as well as for use in existing installations thanks to compatibility with “DSRF” wireless products and legacy control panels from Bosch. RADION products offer another feature: by using up to eight repeaters even remotely located detectors can be integrated in the system, expanding system range up to 1350m. And all RADION peripherals can be automatically enrolled within the intrusion system.
Peter Hupka, product manager AMAX, says: “The new AMAX family has a broad application spectrum covering nearly the complete European intrusion control panel market. Bosch is thus further increasing the level of potential customization solutions, especially with AMAX 3000 and 4000. Their hybrid properties enable utilization of RADION wireless peripherals, reducing or eliminating the need for building work.”
All three AMAX intrusion alarm systems, as well as the RADION family, are EN 50131 grade 2 certified. AMAX panels are available in eight language versions to suit diverse application needs. Some 90 percent of the standard alarm situations are pre-programed, the company adds. Alarm transmission uses a standard telephone landline (PSTN), while modules for additional transmission via IP and GSM/GPRS are available. Further, all AMAX intrusion alarm systems can be remotely controlled with programming software for PC and used for fire detection by integrating smoke detectors.
