Installation guidelines

• Concord (v2.6-later) panels support a maximum of one 

wireless gateway 

or 

one automation module per system. 

You cannot use both on a single panel.

• Concord 4 and Concord Express (v4) panels support one 

wireless gateway and one automation module 

or 

two auto-

mation modules per system.

• Use four-conductor, 22- or 18-gauge stranded wire to 

connect the module to a panel.

Do not 

exceed recommended maximum wire lengths from a 

panel to a module (see 

Table 2

).

• Mount the module as close to the panel as possible; the 

module may be mounted inside a Concord 4 or Concord 
Express (v4) enclosure. The module draws a maximum of 
65 mA (continuous) and up to 1600 mA (instantaneous 

peaks) from the panel or auxiliary power supply.

• When powering bus devices and hardwired sensors from the 

panel, 

do not 

exceed the panel’s total power output. Refer to 

specific panel 

Installation Instructions 

for further detail.

Tools and supplies

• Slotted and Phillips screwdrivers
• Drill (3/8”-drive) and drill bits
• Wire cutter/stripper

• Four-conductor, 22-gauge or larger diameter stranded wire
• 2k Ohm EOL resistor (included)
• Modem antenna (included)

• #6 panhead screws and wall anchors (four each included)

Installation

Installation requires you to position and mount the module, route 

and connect all wires, and install a cover tamper switch.

• Avoid locating the module in areas with excessive metal or 

electrical wiring, such as a furnace or utility room.

Mounting the module

1.

Remove panel AC power and disconnect the backup battery.

2.

Remove the module’s enclosure cover (see 

Figure 2

).

3.

Fasten the antenna to the antenna jack (see 

Figure 1

 on 

page 1).

4.

Place the module backplate at the desired location; check for 

levelness and mark the three mounting holes and the wire 
access area (see 

Figure 2

). Be sure to leave 12 to 18 inches 

above the backplate for the antenna.

Note:  

If you are mounting the module inside a Concord 4 or 
Concord Express (v4) enclosure, remove the antenna 
knock-out from the left expansion module and follow Steps 
2 through 6 from the 

SuperBus 2000 8Z Input Module’s

 

“Mounting the Module in a Concord Cabinet” (466-1606 Rev. 
C).

Figure 2. Removing the Enclosure / Mounting Hole Locations

5.

Drill for the mounting holes and install wall anchors. Next, 
secure the module’s backplate to the wall with screws.

Wiring the module

1.

Remove panel AC power and disconnect the backup battery

2.

Wire the module to panel bus and terminals (see 

Figure 3

 

for Concord, Figure 4 for Concord 4).

3.

If desired, connect an input device to the module Z1 and 
ZCOM terminals (see 

Figure 3

 for Concord, 

Figure 4

 on 

page 3 for Concord 4).

Note:  

Figures 3 and 4 illustrate basic module wiring connections 
for Concord (v2.6-later) panels. For Concord 4 and Concord 
Express (v4) panels, the module must be powered from the 
battery positive (+) terminal. Refer to specific Concord 4 
and Concord Express (v4)
