SuperBus® 2000 Wireless Gateway Module

Installation Instructions

Product summary

The SuperBus

® 

2000 Wireless Gateway Module allows 

customers to control and monitor their Concord

 (v2.6-later), 

Concord 4, and Concord Express (v4) systems from the 
Alarm.com Web site. Through a wireless two-way paging 

network, customers can control such features as security, notifi-
cations, history, and automation.
In addition to the wireless paging network, Concord owners may 
also receive system event notifications by e-mail, pager, or 

phone.

Note:  

For UL Listed Concord installations, the Alarm.com website 
can be used as an ancillary device for reporting, but 
cannot be used for controlling the security system.

The module interfaces with Concord panel data buses and is 

powered by the panel or an auxiliary 12V DC power supply. 
Status LEDs indicate bus and paging network communications 
and supervised zone inputs allow you to connect hardwire 

contacts.
For added security, a magnet and reed switch (not included) can 
be installed for tamper protection.
