How to Reset Bosch Security Alarm

  • Quick Guide
  • Know Your Bosch Alarm

Bosch security alarms are known for their reliability, smart features, and robust performance. However, like all security systems that rely on technology, there may be times when your Bosch alarm system needs to be reset—whether due to a power outage, false alarm, error code, or after maintenance.

If you’re searching “how to reset a Bosch security alarm”, you’ve come to the right place. This guide will walk you through the steps to reset your alarm system safely, whether you have a stand alone alarm system, or one that is connected to a professional monitoring centre for back to base services. We will highlight some common issues that trigger the need for a reset, and let you know when it’s best to call a licensed security system technician—especially if you’re located in Sydney.

What Does Resetting a Bosch Security Alarm Fix?

Resetting a Bosch alarm system can resolve several issues such as, system errors or fault codes, a triggered alarm that won’t stop, restoring the system after a power outage, clearing a tamper alert, or even rebooting the alarm after incorrect PIN entries.

Resetting does NOT erase your settings (unless you perform a full factory reset). Most resets are soft resets designed to get your system back to a working state.

Safety First!

If you’re unsure about your alarm model or uncomfortable working with the control panel, it’s best to contact a professional security technician. Incorrect resets can disable your system or leave it vulnerable.

How to Reset Your Bosch Security Alarm (Soft Reset)

(For most bosch alarm systems (e.g., Bosch Solution 6000, 3000, 880, etc)

Step 1: Enter Your Master Code

  • On your keypad, type in your master user code.
  • This should stop any ongoing alarm sirens or faults.

Step 2: Access the User Menu

  • Press 'Menu' or '*' (depending on the model)
  • Use the arrow keys to navigate to "System" or "Service" menu.
  • Select “Clear Alarm Memory” or "Reset Fault" if the option appears.

Step 3: Reboot the System

  • Some systems allow a soft reboot via the keypad.
  • On the Bosch Solution 6000, you can enter 'Menu' then 'System Options' then 'Restart System'.

Step 4: Arm and Disarm the System

  • Try arming the system normally.
  • Then disarm it again to confirm it has reset and is functioning correctly.

How to Reset with a Fault Code

  • Press and hold the 'Away' or 'Menu' button for 3 seconds.
  • The system will display a fault code (e.g., "Zone 4 Fault").
  • Press '*' or navigate to 'Clear Fault' if available.
  • If the issue is resolved (e.g., a door is closed), the fault should clear.
  • If the fault persists, contact a technician, as this may indicate a sensor or wiring issue.

When to Call a Professional Security Installer

While many Bosch security alarm resets are straightforward, there are times when it’s safer and more effective to leave it to the professionals such as when you suspect hardware damage, persistent fault codes, reprogramming zones or sensors, or if your alarm is connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre and needs reconfiguration.
