*These units draw current from the Corbus to power devices external to the module. This current must be added to the total
Corbus current. See manufacturer's specifications for the current draw of each device.
** For HSM2955 current draw refer to HSM2955 installation manual.
Line Loss
Voltage loss through wire resistance must be considered for all installations. To ensure proper operation, at least 12.5VDC
must be applied to all modules on the system (when AC is connected and the battery is fully charged). If less than 12.5VDC is
applied, system operation is adversely affected.
To correct the problem, try any or all of the following:
1. Connect a HSM2300/2204 power supply between the alarm controller and the module to provide additional power to the
Corbus.
2. Reduce the length of the Corbus run to the module.
3. Increase the gauge of wire.
Capacitance Limits
An increase in capacitance on the Corbus affects data transmission and causes the system to slow down. Capacitance
increases for every foot of wire added to the Corbus. The capacitance rating of the wire used will determine the maximum
length of the Corbus.
For example, 22-gauge, non-shielded, 4-conductor wire has a typical capacitance rating of 20 picofarads per foot (which is
20nF/1000’). For every 1000' of wire added – regardless of where it is run – the capacitance of the Corbus increases by
20nF.
The following table indicates the total wire distance allowed for the capacitance rating of the wire used:
Table 3-2 Wire Capacitance
Wire Capacitance per 1000’ (300m) Total Corbus Wire Length
15nF 5300’/1616m
20nF 4000’/1220m
25nF 3200’/976m
30nF 2666’/810m
35nF 2280’/693m
40nF 2000’/608m

3.1.1 Zone Expander
The main alarm controller has connection terminals for zones 1 to 8. Additional HSM2108 zone expanders may be added to
increase the number of zones on the system. Each zone expander consists of one group of 8 zones. At enrollment, the zone
expander is automatically assigned to the next available zone slot. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the
Corbus terminals on the alarm panel. Board current draw: 30mA.
Figure 3-1 HSM2108 Zone Expander
Refer to the HSM2108 installation sheet for more information.
3.1.2 Output Expander
The HSM2208 module is used to add up to 8 low-current programmable outputs to the alarm system.
The 4-wire Corbus connection is used by the panel to communicate with the module. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN
terminals to the Corbus terminals on the alarm panel. Board current draw: 40mA.
Figure 3-2 HSM2208 Output Expander
3.1.3 Wireless Transceiver Module
The HSM2HOSTx 2-way wireless integration module provides communication between wireless devices and the alarm con-
troller.
Connect the HSM2HOSTx to the 4-wire Corbus of the alarm controller according to the following diagram.

Figure 3-3 HSM2HOSTx Wiring Diagram
After you have completed the wiring, reconnect power to the security system. Board current draw: 35mA
3.1.4 Power Supply Wiring
The HSM2300/2204 power supply/high-current output module provides up to 1.0A of additional current and can be used to
add up to four programmable outputs (HSM2204 only) to the alarm system.
The 4-wire Corbus connection provides communication between the module and alarm panel. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL
and GRN terminals to the Corbus terminals on the alarm controller. If O1 is not used, connect to Aux with a 1K resistor. Board
current draw: 1.2A.

3.1.5 Keypad Wiring
To wire a keypad to the alarm controller, remove the keypad backplate (refer to the keypad installation sheet) and connect
the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the corresponding terminals on the alarm controller.
Keypad Zone/PGM Wiring
Hardwired devices can be connected to hardwired keypads with inputs (zone) or outputs (PGM). This saves from running
wires back to the control panel for every device.
To connect a zone device to HS2LCD, HS2ICON, HS2LED and HS2TCHP keypads, run one wire to the P/Z terminal and the
other to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply power to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) ter-
minal and the black wire to the B (negative) terminal.
Keypad zones support Normally Closed Loops, Single End of Line and Double End of Line.
To connect the PGM output, run one wire to the P/Z terminal and the other to R.
Figure 3-5 Keypad P/Z Terminals
Note: When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according to one of the configurations outlined in "Zone Wiring"
on page 21. End of line resistors must be placed on the device end of the loop, not at the keypad.
Assigning Keypad Zones
When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be assigned a zone number in Installer Programming.
First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the desired slots (See "[902] Add/Remove Modules" on page
133). Next, assign keypad zones by entering programming section [861]-[876], subsection 011 for keypads 1-16. Enter a 3-
digit zone number for each of the keypad zones. This number must be programmed into the slot location that the keypad is
assigned to.
Note: If a keypad zone input is assigned to zone number 1 to 8, the corresponding zone cannot be used on the main control
panel.
Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also program zone definitions and zone attributes. See "[001] Zone Types"
on page 70 and See "Zone Setup" on page 70.
