New Intrusion Product: B Series Training
We have launched the training courses that will accompany our new intrusion product: B Series. In order to create the best learning experience, Bosch has developed two different instructor-led courses for the new product:
- For those who have more understanding of our products and who take the B-Series Basics eLearning course as a pre-requisite, Bosch offers a 1-day course. This course provides an overview of the features of the new B Series and compares it to other Bosch products.
- For those who are less familiar with our products, Bosch offers a 4-days course; this is a more in-depth training program. The B Series / GV4 Basics eLearning course is a pre-requisite.
Please find below the dates for the upcoming B Series courses:

Wireless intrusion detection
Wireless intrusion detection is a popular choice among many installers and customers in today’s Security Market. With battery life lasting on average 3 or more years, ease of installation , pleasing aesthetics, and selectable input and supervision settings, it’s hard to not to use it whenever possible. You certainly need to be educated on the product before you attempt to use it in an application.
Best practices include surveying the installation to see if a single receiver will be sufficient or if one or more repeaters are needed to cover all your transmitter locations. Educating yourself on the particular wireless device you plan on using may also prove to be valuable. In doing so, you’re not wasting time unnecessarily troubleshooting your wireless system. A tip that may help avoid frustration is by understanding that there are certain features built into wireless products to increase their longevity and reliability.
Most wireless motion detectors have a set up time associated with them to conserve battery life. The new RADION wireless motion detectors from Bosch allow a 90 sec walk test when first installed to check your coverage pattern. After your walk test is complete the LED will not illuminate again unless another walk test is initiated. The detector will also not transmit signals unless 3 full minutes of no activity is reached. This eliminates the transmitter placed in a high traffic area from exhausting unnecessary energy transmitting multiple signals each time the detector is triggered.
Check the installation guide of your wireless detector to see what the walk test period and no activation time is before your detector will activate and trigger the alarm. Knowing your product ahead of time shows your customer that you are a security professional and that you take your job seriously, plus it saves time and money and makes everyone happier in the end.

Favorite Customer Story: I remember teaching a GV4 control panel update class recently. I had a gentleman in my class that had been in the security industry and at the same company for 41 years! I remember feeling quite intimidated when he told me, since I haven’t even been on the planet that long. There was a point in the class where I taught the “Bosch Binary” method of addressing POPIT’s. To my astonishment that same technician stood up in the middle of class and sincerely thanked me for teaching him something he never knew all the years he had been working with addressable POPIT modules. That was the best comment I have ever received and is something I am very proud of to this day.
Favorite Bosch product: The Professional Series Motion Detectors. The innovation on these detectors blows me away!
Most rewarding aspect of job: Getting to know our customers face-to-face. And I an able to contribute in making Bosch Training the absolute best in the industry.
Tip for customers: You can find answers to many of our frequently asked questions by checking out our extensive knowledgebase located on our Technical Support website.
Fun facts: I grew up around water and have had my boating certificate since I was 12-years-old. I like to do my own home improvements, and I enjoy sushi and spicy foods.
