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.
