These instructions cover the installation of the D8132 Battery Charger and the D8132LT
Battery Charger Less Transformer modules in an alarm system supervised by a fire alarm
control panel (FACP), an intrusion alarm panel, or a combination Burglary/Fire control panel.
These modules are UL Listed for use in Central Station, Household Fire and Burglary Alarm,
Police Connection, and Electrically Actuated Transmitter applications. They can also be
installed as non-UL Listed , 12 V, 1 A, standalone power supplies.
To obtain any of the documents referenced in this document, download them from the Bosch
website (www.boschsecurity.com).
Install, test and maintain the module according to these instructions, NFPA codes, local codes,
and the authority having jurisdiction (AHJ). Failure to follow these instructions can result in
failure of a detector to initiate an alarm event. Bosch Security Systems, Inc. is not responsible
for improperly installed, tested or maintained devices.
Before installing the module, become familiar with the Installation and Operation Guide for the
control panel you are using.
!
Warning!
Follow these instructions to avoid personal injury and damage to equipment.
NFPA 72 requires that you perform a complete system wide functional test following any
modifications, repair, upgrades or adjustments made to the system’s components, hardware,
wiring, programming and software/firmware.

Description
The module, combined with external batteries, increases the standby time and provides
additional power to the auxiliary output of the compatible control panels listed in the
following table.

In addition to the batteries that can be installed with the control panel, two additional 12 V,
7 Ah batteries (D126) or up to two 12 V, 13.5 Ah batteries can be installed with the module.
The module is ideal for systems requiring extended battery standby time, such as UL Bank
Safe and Vault applications, and systems requiring additional auxiliary current output. In
addition to providing increased standby time and auxiliary power, the batteries also filter the
AC power supply. The amount of ripple that appears on the control panel outputs is
dependent on the condition of the batteries.
Notice!
Bosch does not recommend using the module to power devices that are sensitive to
excessive ripple.
A 16.5 V, 40 VA transformer (D1640, supplied with the D8132) is required to power the
module. A green LED on the module lights to indicate the presence of AC power.
Provided with the D8132LT are two cables, and two sets of lockwashers, nuts, screws, and
terminal lugs. The cables connect the module to the transformer, two batteries, and the
control panel. The hardware is provided for connecting the battery cable to 12 V, and up to
two 13.5 Ah batteries (this hardware is not used when connecting 12 V, 7 Ah batteries).

Installation
The module and additional batteries are typically mounted inside a separate enclosure (such
as, the D8103, the D8108A, or the D8109) adjacent to the control panel’s enclosure.

Install the module in one of the vertical mounting locations. The upper mounting location is
recommended if two 12 V, 13.5 Ah batteries will be installed. Fasten the module in place with
the three mounting screws provided. The green AC power LED on the module can be viewed if
a knock-out is removed on the front door of the enclosure.

Wiring for extending battery standby time and providing
additional auxiliary current output
If the module is to be connected to a control panel to increase stand by time, refer to the
appropriate control panel’s Installation and Operation Guide to calculate the total battery
Ampere-hours (Ah) required for your system. The recharge time cannot exceed 48 hours for UL
listed applications. Once satisfactory recharge time, standby time, Ampere-hour, and auxiliary
current values are identified, determine the combination of batteries required for your
application using the following table.

panel documentation.
** The D8132 can support up to 27 Ah of backup battery. If two batteries are used they must
have the same Ampere-hour (Ah) rating.
Two cables are provided with the module for connections to the control panel and additional
batteries.
1.
Connect the black wire of the four‑pin connector cable to the control panel’s battery
negative terminal.
2.
Connect the red wire of the four‑pin connector cable to the control panel’s battery
positive terminal.
!
Warning!
Do not short these wires!
3.
Plug the four‑pin connector cable into J1 on the module.
4.
Connect the two grey wires to a separate 16.5 V, 40 VA transformer (D1640).
!
Warning!
Do not connect the grey wires to the control panel’s transformer terminals.
5.
Connect the D1640 transformer to an unswitched 110-120 VAC 60 Hz outlet.
Notice!
Connect the D8132 and the control panel transformers to the same AC branch circuit. Do not
share the transformers with any other devices.
6.
Plug the six‑pin connector cable into J2 on the module.
7.
Connect a red wire to the positive battery terminal, and a black wire to the negative
battery terminal of each auxiliary battery. (One or two auxiliary batteries can be
installed.)
4.2
Wiring for standalone power supply
The D8132 module can operate as a 12 V standalone power supply. Standalone operation
does not have battery supervision or load shed, and therefore is not recommended for critical
loads requiring supervision.

Notice!
The D8132 Module is not UL Listed for “standalone” operation, and cannot be used in this
configuration for UL applications.
To determine the appropriate batteries for use with the module, see the table which displays
auxiliary current and battery recharge values for various battery Ampere-hour combinations in
the section Wiring for extending battery standby time and providing additional auxiliary current
output, page 6. (These values will vary depending upon the condition of the batteries
installed.)
For standalone power supply operation, install the module as shown in the following figure.

11 Black wires from negative battery terminals to the D8132 and the control panel, from
the D8132 to the device loop, and from the device loop ground to the control panel
earth ground.
* GV3 and GV4 panels require a D1640 transformer. For legacy products refer to the control
panel documentation.
** The D8132 can support up to 27 Ah of battery backup. If two batteries are used, they must
have the same Ampere-hour (Ah) rating.
When the control panel and the module are connected to the same AC branch circuit, AC
power failures and restorals which affect the control panel and the module will be indicated
by the control panel. The standalone power supply standby time should be greater than that
of the control panel system. The standalone power supply and the control panel must share a
common ground.
For this type of standalone power supply operation, install the module as shown in the
following figure.
