Notices
FCC Part 15 Information to the User
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by GE Security can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Part 15 Class B
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the affected equipment and the panel receiver to separate outlets, on different branch circuits.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
ACTA Part 68
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. Located on this equipment is a label that contains, among
other information, the registration number and the ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the
telephone company.
Registration No. US:B4ZAL01B60095R
The REN is used to determine the maximum number of devices that may be connected to your telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line may result in
devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most areas, the sum of all device RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of
devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the
REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal
point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and require-
ments as adopted by ACTA. A compliant telephone cord and modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compliant modular
jack that is also compliant. See the Installation Instructions for details.
Alarm dialing equipment must be able to seize the telephone line and place a call in an emergency situation. It must be able to do this even if other equipment
(telephone, answering system, computer modem, etc.) already has the telephone line in use. To do so, alarm dialing equipment must be connected to a properly
installed RJ31X jack that is electrically in series and ahead of all other equipment attached to the same telephone line. Proper installation is depicted in the fol-
lowing diagram. If you have any questions concerning these instructions, consult your local telephone company or a qualified installer about installing an RJ31X
jack and alarm dialing equipment for you.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect your service. If possible, you will be notified in
advance. When advance notice is not practical, you will be notified as soon as possible. You will also be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. You will be
given advance notice in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If you experience trouble with this equipment, please contact the company that installed the equipment for service and/or repair information. The telephone com-
pany may ask you to disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.
This equipment may not be used on coin service provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs

Determine the Panel Location
Before permanently mounting the panel, determine panel location using the following guidelines:
• Centrally locate the panel with relation to detection devices whenever possible, to help
reduce wire run lengths and labor.
• Locate the panel where the temperature will not exceed 120°F (49°C) or fall below 32°F
(0°C).
• 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).
Figure 1. Determining Panel Location
• Leave space to the left and right of the panel for wiring, phone jack, and mounting optional
modules.
• Allow at least 9 inches above the panel cabinet for antennas.
• Allow at least 24 inches in front of the panel to open the panel door.
Total System Power and Wire Length Guidelines
Power
The panel can supply up to 1 amp (1,000 mA) in full load alarm condition for system devices
connected to panel terminals 4 (+12V), 7 and 8 (speaker terminals), 9 (OUT1), 11 (+12V), 24
(2W SMK ZONE 8), and SnapCard terminals.
For 24-hour backup, the total standby current draw for all devices connected to panel terminals 4
(+12V), 9 (OUT1), 11 (+12V), 24 (if configured for 2-wire smoke loop), and SnapCard terminals
is limited to 90 mA (during normal standby condition) using a 4.5 Ah battery, or 190 mA (during
normal standby condition) using a 7.0 Ah battery.
Wire Length
The total system wire length allowed can vary depending on devices powered by the panel, the
wire length between devices and the panel, and the combined wire length of all devices.

Note
When installing SuperBus 2000 RF Receiver Modules, the Antenna Tamper feature must be set to off
(see REPORTING—GLOBAL in the “Programming” section).
Table 2 describes the total system wire lengths allowed for all SuperBus 2000 devices when
installing systems using unshielded or shielded cable. (The maximum wire length for individual
devices is shown in Table 1)
After determining panel location, run all necessary wires to that location using the guidelines in
Table 3.
Mounting the Panel
Use the following procedure to mount the panel to the wall or wall studs.
Make sure you are free of static electricity whenever you work on the panel with the cover
open. To discharge any static, first touch the metal panel chassis, then stay in contact with
the chassis when touching the circuit board. Using an approved grounding strap is recom-
mended.
 To mount the panel (see Figure 2):
1. Remove the panel door and remove the necessary wiring knockouts. Be careful not to dam-
age the circuit board.
2. Feed all wires through wiring knockouts and place the panel in position against the wall.
3. Level the panel and mark the top and bottom mounting holes.
4. Install anchors where studs are not present.
5. Partially insert screws into the two top mounting hole locations, then hang the panel on the
two screws.

Note
The panel comes with fac-
tory programmed onboard
hardwire zones. Install
2k-ohm, end of line (EOL)
resistors on all unused fac-
tory programmed onboard
hardwire zones. If you don’t
want to install EOL resistors,
delete any unused zones
from memory. See Table 7
for onboard hardwire zone
factory programming.
Connecting Detection Devices to Panel Zone Inputs
Zone inputs 1 through 8 are supervised using included 2k-ohm, end-of-line resistors at the last
device on each circuit. All eight zones accept either normally open (N/O) or normally closed (N/
C) detection devices.
Connecting Intrusion Detection Devices
Figure 7 shows the typical wiring for N/C and N/O door/window intrusion detection and the typ-
ical wiring for a Detection Systems model DS922 (part no. 13-082) motion detector. The mini-
mum available panel voltage for hardwired PIR motion detectors is 8.5 VDC (9.5 VDC for UL
listed installations).

Connecting 4-Wire Smoke Detectors
Zone input 8 can be used with 4-wire smoke detectors that latch and remain in the alarm state
until power is removed, then restored to the detector. The panel provides this power interruption
from terminal 24 (2W SMK ZONE 8) only when zone 8 is learned into sensor group 26 (fire) and
the Two-Wire Smoke option is on.
Note
Zone 8 must be learned into
sensor group 26 (fire) and
the 2-Wire Smoke feature
must be on for connected
smoke detectors to reset
after canceling a fire alarm.
Table 4 describes the minimum available panel power. Use only 4-wire smoke detectors that
operate at these power limits. Connect up to five Sentrol (ESL) model 449AT (part no. 13-360)
smoke detectors to panel power and zone 8 input as shown in Figure 8.
Connecting Speakers
Note
Install all sirens/speakers
indoors, in a concealed loca-
tion.
The panel provides one siren driver output for intrusion (steady), fire (temporal 3), and auxiliary
(on-off-on-off) alarm sounds. This output trips only for partition 1 alarms.
The output can drive a single 8-ohm speaker or multiple speaker circuit of 8-ohms or higher (as
shown in the following speaker wiring diagrams). Compatible speakers are described below.
Note
Do not connect a bell or
piezo siren to the speaker
output (terminals 7 and 8).
