Planning the Installation
Planning the Installation
This section describes the system capabilities to help you
get familiar with the system. To help you prepare for system
installation, Appendix A provides planning sheets with
tables that let you record the hardware and programming
configuration of the system.
Standard Panel
The following describes the basic panel (out-of-box) hard-
ware capabilities.
Power: Input for an AC step-down, plug-in style trans-
former.
Auxiliary Power Output: Output that supplies up to
750 mA (90 mA for UL Listed systems) at 12 VDC for
bus devices and hardwired detectors, such as touchpads
and motion detectors.
Bus A and B: Input and output that provide communi-
cation between bus devices and the panel.
2 Onboard Outputs: One 12-volt and one open-col-
lector output that can be set up to activate other signal-
ling devices, based on system events.
6 Supervised Hardwire Zones: Factory programmed
inputs for various hardwired detectors (see “Learn Sen-
sors (Sensors)” on page 29 for a list of factory pro-
grammed settings). Zone 6 can be set up in
programming to accept 2-wire smoke detectors.
Built-In Radio Receiver: Allows use of 319.5 MHz.
crystal and/or SAW Learn Mode wireless sensors and
touchpads.
Phone Line Connection: Allows the panel to commu-
nicate with central monitoring stations and pagers.
Touchpads
The following describes the different touchpads that can be
used for system programming and operation.
SuperBus 2000 2x16 LCD Alphanumeric Touch-
pad: Provides complete system programming and
operation control. Displays system messages, and indi-
cates system status.
SuperBus 2000 2x20 LCD/VFD Alphanumeric
Touchpads: Provide complete system programming
and operation control, display system messages and
indicate system status.
SuperBus 2000 Fixed Display LCD Touchpad:
Provides operation control and user programming
access (not installer or dealer programming). Displays
system messages and indicates system
status.
SnapCard™
The following SnapCards expand the system as described:
8Z Input SnapCard: Provides eight additional hard-
wire zone inputs, of which two are dedicated for 2-wire
smoke detectors.
4 Output SnapCard: Provides four form C relay out-
puts that can be set up to activate other signalling
devices, based on system events.
4Z Input/2 Output Combo SnapCard: Provides three
standard hardwire zone inputs, one 2-wire smoke
detector loop input, and two outputs that can be set up
to activate other signalling devices that are based on
system events.
Installing the System
This section describes how to install the system control
panel. Before starting the installation, plan your system lay-
out and programming using the worksheets provided in
Appendix A.
Installing the system consists of the following steps:
Determining the Panel Location
Identifying Total System Power and Wire Length
Guidelines
Mounting the Panel
Identifying Panel Main Components
Installing Optional SnapCards
Installing Optional HIMs
Connecting Detection Devices to Panel Zone Inputs
Connecting Sirens
Connecting Touchpads
Installing an RJ-31X Phone Jack
Connecting the Phone Line to the Panel with a DB-8
Cord
Connecting the AC Power Transformer
Powering Up the Panel
Determine the Panel Location
Before permanently mounting the panel, determine the
location using the following guidelines:
To help reduce wire run lengths and labor, centrally
locate the panel with relation to detection devices
whenever possible.
Avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring or
fixtures, such as fluorescent lighting, to prevent wire
runs from picking up electrical noise.
Mount the panel at a comfortable working height
(about 45 to 55 inches from the floor to the bottom of
the panel, as shown in Figure 1).
Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring,
phone jack, and optional modules.
