Product
Summary The module is a UL listed device that adds or expands panel wireless zone capacity. See the spe-
cific panel Installation Instructions for complete UL requirements for the system you are install-
ing.
The transceiver is compatible with all GE Security 319.5 MHz crystal and SAW wireless sensors
and touchpads, and can be located up to 2,800 feet away from the panel (see Table 2). It receives
information from wireless sensors and touchpads then sends the data to the panel via the Super-
Bus 2000 digital data bus. It also transmits information to other transceivers. Power for the mod-
ule is provided by the panel.
Transceivers are available in 16-zone (-16Z), 32-zone (-32Z), or panel maximum (-MAX) capac-
ities.
The SuperBus 2000 RF Transceiver Module features:
Compatibility with all GE Security 319.5 MHz wireless sensors, touchpads, and sirens.
Backward compatibility with SuperBus panels.
1,500 feet nominal, open air receiving range.
Figure 1 shows the transceiver module components and Table 1 describes those components.

Installation Installation Guidelines
Observe the following guidelines when installing the transceiver module:
• Concord systems can accommodate a maximum of 96 wireless sensors/zones.
In Concord systems, up to 16 SuperBus 2000 devices can be connected to the panel
(SuperBus 2000 Touchpads, Receivers, Transceivers, HIMs, HOMs, ESMs, etc.).
Each bus device must have a different unit number.
Leave 4 inches above the module for the antenna.
When mounting the module away from the panel, use the wire length guidelines in
Table 2.
Avoid areas 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 2.

Preliminary 8/5/04
¾To mount the module on a wall:
1. Remove the panel AC power transformer and disconnect the backup battery.
2. Remove the module cover and set it aside.
3. Hold the base against the mounting surface and mark the three mounting holes. Remember to
leave at least 10 inches above the base for the antenna.
4. Drill holes and insert the appropriate anchors.
5. Secure the back-plate to the wall with included panhead screws.
Concord Panel Wiring
This section describes how to wire the transceiver module to Concord panels.
¾To wire the transceiver module to Concord panels:
1. Disconnect the panel power transformer and backup battery.
2. Wire the module to the panel power and bus terminals as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3. Wiring Module to Concord Panel
Power Up Use the following procedures for powering up the system and verifying bus communication.
Note
In order to enter panel pro-
gram mode to verify unit
numbers, an alphanumeric
touchpad must be con-
nected to all Concord pan-
els.
¾To power up the panel and transceiver module:
1. Verify that all wiring at the panel, touchpad, and transceiver is correct.
2. Connect the panel backup battery and plug in the panel AC power transformer.
3. Verify that the transceiver module status LED is on.
4. If desired, enter panel program mode to verify unit number exists (see panel Installation
Instructions for more information).
Note
If the transceiver module LED is not on, unplug the panel AC power transformer, disconnect the backup
battery, and see Table 3 “Troubleshooting”.
