Interlogix SuperBus 2000 Installation Instructions

SuperBus 2000 RF Transceiver Module
Installation Instructions
Description
The SuperBus 2000 RF Transceiver Module expands the RF
reception range of compatible GE control panels when located
in the vicinity of sensors on the fringe of panel reception. The
transceiver works with all UTC Fire & Security wireless sensors
and touch-pads. It receives signals from wireless sensor and
touchpads, then sends the data to the panel via the SuperBus
2000 digital data bus.
A tamper switch activates an alarm if the cover is removed
while the system is armed. Power for the module is provided
by the panel.
Installation
The module comes as a kit that is assembled in the field.
Installation consists of the following tasks:
• Mounting
• Wiring
• Power up
Installation guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when installing the
transceiver module:
• Allow at least 9 inches (22.9 cm) of clearance above the
enclosure for the antennas.
• Up to 4 SuperBus 2000 RF Transceiver Modules can be
connected to Concord 4/Concord Express V4 panels (see
model numbers in Specifications on page 3). Use the wire
length guidelines in the following table.
Wire gauge (shielded or
unshielded)
22 AWG (0.65mm)
18 AWG (1.02 mm)
P/N 466-2184 • REV E • January 2011
Maximum wire length between
module and panel
1,000 feet (305 m)
2,500 feet (762 m)
• The module must be installed in its own plastic enclosure.
It cannot be installed inside the panel's enclosure.
• Avoid mounting locations that are likely to expose the
module to moisture.
• Avoid areas with excessive metal or electrical wiring
including furnace and utility rooms. If unavoidable, mount
on or near metal with the antenna extending above the
metallic surfaces as shown in Figure 1 below

and supplies:
• Screwdrivers
• Drill with bits
• Mounting screws and anchors (included) • 4-conductor,

Mounting
The module can be mounted on any interior wall (protected
from the elements). To mount the module, do the following:
1. Remove the module back plate from the packaging.
2. Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark the
two mounting holes and the wire access hole as shown in
