SuperBus® 2000 Phone Interface/Voice Module
Installation Instructions
Product Summary
The SuperBus 2000 Phone Interface/Voice Module (PIV)
adds phone and voice functions to Concord™ panels.
The module provides on-site and remote system control
from any touch-tone telephone, allowing access to both
installer and user operations for easy panel access from any
location. An on-board digital-voice chip is used to “speak”
system status messages over phones and speakers
connected to the module.
The module provides phone control of one single or multi-
ple-partition Concord panel. With multiple panel partitions,
one module may be used per partition, with each module
connected to a separate phone line.
The module communicates with the panel through bus
connections and is powered by the panel 12 VDC supply.
SuperBus 2000
vs.
SuperBus
Compatible panels (SuperBus 2000) have the ability to
auto-address module unit numbers. When the panel is pow-
ered up, the panel automatically reads the unique SuperBus
2000 device ID number and assigns a unit number to the
module. This eliminates manually setting DIP switches and
the chance of identical unit number conflicts.
Non-Compatible panels (SuperBus) communicate with
SuperBus 2000 modules but require the module unit num-
ber to first be set manually using dip switches.

Installation Guidelines
Installation Guidelines
Use the following guidelines when installing the module:
❑Concord systems allow a maximum of one Phone Inter-
face/Voice Module per partition. On multiple partition
systems, each module must be connected to a separate
phone line and speaker.
❑Always connect the phone line using an RJ-31X jack.
This gives the customer the ability to unplug the system
from the phone line, in case the system malfunctions
and the customer needs to use the phone.
❑Mount the module inside the cabinet or wall-mount
using the optional plastic housing (part no. 60-800).
❑Use 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire to
connect the module to the panel.
❑Although the module can be located up to 120 feet
from the panel (using 18-gauge or larger wire), it is rec-
ommend that the module be mounted as close as possi-
ble to the panel.
❑All bus modules must be set with a different bus unit
number (set manually on Concord panels with software
version 1.0–1.6).
❑The module draws a maximum 600 mA from the panel
power supply.
❑Do not exceed the total panel power when using panel
power for bus and hardwired device power (refer to the
specific panel Installation Instructions).
Tools and Supplies
❑Screwdrivers (small blade)
❑Drill with bits
❑Wire cutter/stripper
❑Screws and anchors (included)
❑Optional plastic housing (part no. 60-800) for
wall-mounting (not included)
❑4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire
❑RJ-31X Phone Jack (not included)
❑DB-8 Cord (included with Concord cabinet)
❑Support standoffs (included with Concord cabinet)

Wiring
Wiring consists of the following:
❑Running Required Wires— for power, bus, speaker,
and phone line connections.
❑Installing an RJ-31X Jack—for phone line connections.
❑Wiring connections for modules in Concord systems.
Running Required Wires
1. Run a 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger, stranded wire
from the module to the panel for power and bus con-
nections (see Table 2 for limits).
2. Run a 2-conductor, 22-gauge or larger, stranded wire
cable from the module to the speaker location.
3. Run a 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger, stranded wire
cable from the RJ-31X jack location to the telephone
protector block.
Installing an RJ-31X Phone Jack
Use the following guidelines when installing an RJ-31X
phone jack.
❑Locate the RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada)no further
than five feet from the panel (or module for partition 2
installations).
❑The panel (or module) must be connected to a standard
analog (loop-start) phone line that provides 48 volts
DC (on-hook or idle) which increases between 89 to
130 volts DC when the line is ringing.
Note
The panel (or module) cannot be used on a digital or
PBX phone line. These systems are designed for digi-
tal type devices only, operating anywhere from 5 volts
DC and up. The panel uses an analog modem and
does not have a digital converter, adapter, or interface
to operate through such systems.
❑For full line seizure in partition 1, install an RJ-31X
phone jack on the premises phone line so the panel is
ahead of all phones and other devices on the line. This
allows the panel to take control of the phone line when
an alarm occurs, even if the phone is in use or off-hook.
Note
The Phone Interface/Voice Module does not seize the
line during an alarm.

Wiring
❑If an analog line is not available, contact your custom-
ers’ telecommunications specialist and tell him/her you
need an analog line off the phone switch (PBX main-
frame) or a 1FB (standard business line).
Note
Connecting the panel (or module) to an analog line off
the phone switch places the panel (or module) ahead
of the phone system, preventing system access from
phones on the premises. However, the system can still
be accessed from off-site phones.
To install an RJ-31X jack:
1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO protector
block to the jack location (see Ain Figure 6).
2. Connect one end of the cable to the jack (see Bin Fig-
ure 6).
3. At the TELCO protector block, remove the premises
phone lines (lines from phone jacks on premises) from
the block and splice them to the black and white (or
yellow) wires of the 4-conductor cable (see Cin Fig-
ure 6).
4. Connect the green and red wires from the 4-conductor
cable to the TIP (+) and RING (-) posts on the block
(see Din Figure 6).

Setting the Unit Number
Each bus module connected to the panel must have a
different unit number for correct communication.
Setting the Unit Number on Concord Panels with
Software Versions 1.0–1.6
The module can be set to any unit number 0–15, using the
module dip switches. The default setting (0) can be used if
no other bus modules are installed in the system.
When using one module per partition, the lower unit num-
ber will be assigned to partition 1, while the higher unit
number will be assigned to partition 2.
Note
Do not use module unit number 15 if it is installed in a
Concord RF system since the built-in receiver is fac-
tory set to unit number 15 and cannot be changed.
To set the module unit number:
Locate the DIP switches on the module circuit board
(see Figure 1) and set them to the desired unit number
(0–15) before applying power (see Figure 12).
Note
DIP switches 1–4 are not used and must remain off.

Power Up and Bus Communication
Figure 12. Unit Number DIP Switch Settings
Setting the Unit Number on Concord Panels with
Software Version 2.0 or Later
The unit number will be automatically set when powering
up the system. When using one module per partition, the
panel automatically assigns each module with a partition
number.
Power Up and Bus Communication
Use the following procedures for powering up the system
and verifying bus communication.
Note
In order to enter panel program mode to verify unit
numbers, an alphanumeric touchpad must be con-
nected to all Concord panels.
To power up panel and Phone Interface/Voice Module:
1. Verify that all wiring at the panel and the module is cor-
rect.
2. Connect the panel backup battery and plug in the panel
AC power transformer.
3. Verify that the module status LED is on and flashing.
4. If desired, enter panel program mode to verify the unit
number exists and the module is enrolled into the cor-
rect partition (see panel Installation Instructions for
more information).
Note
If the status LED is not on and flashing, unplug the
panel AC power transformer, disconnect the backup
battery, and see “Troubleshooting.”
Changing the Module Unit Number (software
versions 1.0–1.6)
Note
Whenever the module unit number is changed, you
must remove the panel AC power transformer and
backup battery, then reconnect them for the panel and
module to communicate successfully.
Use the following guidelines when changing unit number
assignments to avoid communication conflicts between bus
devices and the panel:
❑Whenever possible, assign alphanumeric touchpad unit
numbers before all other panel programming.
❑All unit numbers must be set before applying power
and entering program mode.
To change the PIV module unit number:
1. Remove panel AC power transformer and disconnect
the backup battery.
2. Change the DIP switch setting on the module (see
Figure 12). Remember, the setting must be different
from all other bus devices.
3. Connect the panel backup battery and plug in the AC
power transformer. The panel automatically scans all
bus devices and learns any new settings.
4. The system may still indicate a bus failure if the panel
learned a unit number that is no longer assigned to any
bus device. To clear the failure, enter program mode
and locate the unused unit number (under BUS
DEVICES) and delete it by pressing D. Please refer to
the panel Installation Instructions for more information
on deleting bus devices.
5. Exit from program mode. The touchpad and all other
bus devices should operate correctly and any bus
failures should be cleared.
