SuperBus 2000 2X16 LCD Alphanumeric 
Touchpad Installation Instructions 

Product summary 

The SuperBus

®

 2000 2x16 LCD (liquid crystal display) 

Alphanumeric Touchpad lets you control all programming and 
operation of a compatible security system (see “Specifications” 
on page 4). The 2-line, 16-character display provides 
messages to indicate the current system status. 

The touchpad includes police, fire, and auxiliary panic buttons 
that can be activated anytime. 

A built in speaker provides alarm sounds, status sounds, and 
button-press beeps. 

Installation guidelines 

• 

Mount the touchpad in an environmentally controlled area 
32 to 120°F (0 to 49°C). 

• 

When mounting the touchpad, allow at least 4¼ inches on 
the left side for the Quick Guide slide-out card. 

• For 

Concord

 Express systems, up to 4 bus devices can 

be connected to the panel. For Concord systems (all 
software versions) up to 16 bus devices can be connected 
to the panel. 

• 

For Concord systems with software versions 1.0–1.6, each 
bus device must have a different unit number setting to 
operate correctly. The touchpad unit number is factory set 
to 001. For Concord panels with software version 2.0 or 
later and Concord Express panels, bus unit numbers are 
assigned automatically.
