Product Summary
The ITI
®
SuperBus 2000 2 x 20 VFD (vacuum fluorescent
display) Alphanumeric Touchpad gives you complete on-
site system programming and operation control of a com-
patible security system (see the section “Specifications”).
A two-line, 40-character display provides visual system
status messages. The display identifies any programmed
location, allowing the user to determine where an alarm,
trouble, or open-sensor condition exists.
Other features include:
❑
Touchpad buttons that light up after the first button
press and remain lit until about 15 seconds after the last
button press.
❑
Adjustable display brightness.
❑
Built-in hardwire input (can be supervised with EOL
resistor in SuperBus 2000 panels).
❑
Built-in door, which covers right-side buttons (60-810
only).
SuperBus 2000 Panels
vs.
SuperBus Panels
SuperBus 2000 panels assign module unit numbers
automatically when the panel is powered up. This
eliminates manually setting unit numbers and the chance of
identical unit number conflicts.

SuperBus panels communicate with SuperBus 2000
modules but require the module unit number to be set
manually. Touchpads automatically default to unit number
001.

Installation Guidelines
❑
For the maximum number of bus devices and
touchpads per panel see Table 1.
❑
Do not exceed the total panel output power when using
panel power for bus devices, touchpads, and hardwired
sensors that require it (see specific panel Installation
Instructions).
❑
Maximum current draw from the touchpad is 120 mA.
❑
Minimum current draw from the touchpad when the
panel is operating only on backup battery is 15 mA.
❑
Mount the touchpad in an environmentally controlled
area (32° to 140°F) (0° to 60°C).
❑
When using the optional touchpad hardwire input, use
only shielded wire (22-gauge or larger), and do not
exceed the maximum wire length limits in Table 2
between the touchpad and detection device.
Note
Shield wire must be connected to earth ground.
❑
When mounting the touchpad back-plate, allow a 1-
inch clearance on all sides since the touchpad is larger
than the back-plate.
❑
Use 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire from
the touchpad to the control panel.
❑
Follow the wire length limits outlined in the specific
panel Installation Instructions between the touchpad
and control panel.
