Notes
107
Note 1
Class II power transformer must be plugged into an unswitched AC power receptacle. Do
not short the transformer terminals together. The transformer contains an internal fuse that
permanently disables the output if the terminals are shorted.
Note 2
SuperBus 2000 Alphanumeric Touchpads required for on-site programming (models 60-
746-01, 60-803, 60-804, 60-983, 60-984, or 60-985). For normal operation and user pro-
gramming, a SuperBus 2000 Fixed Display Touchpad (60-820) may be used. Maximum 16
bus devices per panel (all partitions).
Note 3
Speaker terminals 7 and 8 activate only for Partition 1 alarms. Use speakers with an 8-ohm
or higher impedance. Use 18-gauge, stranded wire. When connecting two or more 8-ohm
speakers, they must be wired in series as shown in the wiring diagram. Wiring two or more
8-ohm speakers in parallel can permanently damage the panel.
Note 4
Output 1 is +12V switched rated for 1,000 mA (1 amp) maximum. Default configuration
number 01614 activates output 30 seconds after a fire or intrusion alarm occurs. Output 2 is
open-collector type rated for 300 mA maximum. Default configuration number 01710 acti-
vates output for status and alarm sounds. Refer to panel installation instructions for all possi-
ble settings.
Note 5
Zone (loop) wiring shown is an example that applies to all zones (except when zone 8 is con-
figured for 2-wire smoke detectors). Install EOL resistors across all unused zone (loop)
inputs.
Note 6
For UL Listed installations, wire multiple supervised 2-wire hardwire smoke detectors (20
maximum) only as shown. Maximum 120 uA current draw per detector. Maximum 90 mA
current draw in alarm. See page 12 for tested compatible models.
Note 7
Some telephones are polarity-sensitive. Green and red wires may need to be reversed.
Note 8
A maximum of two Audio Verification Modules (60-677) are allowed (Partition 1 only).
Wire multiple speakers in series, and power and microphone wires in parallel. Use shielded
cable where shown in diagram to prevent cross-talk between the speaker and microphone.
Audio Verification Modules shall not be used in UL Listed installations.
Note 9
Connect multiple piezo sirens in parallel.
Note 10
Refer to the SuperBus 2000 Energy Saver Module Installation Instructions for thermostat
wiring details.
Note 11
Refer to the SuperBus 2000 4-Relay Output Module Installation Instructions for device con-
nections to module outputs.
Note 12
Connect hardwire zones to module inputs the same as those shown for the panel. Install EOL
resistors across all unused zone inputs. Refer to the SuperBus 2000 8Z Module Installation
Instructions for complete details.
Note 13
Use 60-681—12 VDC, 4.5 Ah or 60-680—12 VDC, 7 Ah backup battery. Battery is auto-
matically tested every 24 hours (every 4 hours with UL 98 Options set to on). Replace only
with exact replacement. Without AC power, panel shutdown occurs if battery voltage falls
below 10.2 VDC.
