SuperBus® 2000 Energy Saver Module
Installation Instructions
Product Summary
The SuperBus2000Energy Saver Module (ESM) provides a
money-saving and convenient way to monitor and control
temperatures. The ESM uses low- and high-temperature
limits to save energy by overriding the existing HVAC ther-
mostat. When the ESM is on, temperature limits determine
when the heat or air-conditioning turns on. When the ESM
is off, the HVAC thermostat controls heat and air-condition-
ing.
For example, if the thermostat is set for 68°F and the ESM
high limit is 80°F, the ESM prevents the air-conditioner
from turning on until the temperature reaches 80°F. The
ESM limits may be set between 40° and 90°F.
A temperature sensor monitors the temperature and reports
a freeze alarm to the panel if the temperature drops below
the set freeze temperature (default = 42°F). A backup freeze
stat provides additional protection by activating the furnace
if the temperature drops to 45°F (±6°F).
Note
Depending on where the ESM is located, additional
freeze sensors may need to be placed throughout the
residence to provide adequate freeze protection.
This device is backward compatible with Concord™panels
with software versions 1.0–1.6 and UltraGard™panels.
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 ESM:
❑For Concord systems, up to 16 bus devices can be
connected to the panel (alphanumeric touchpad, HIM,
ESM, etc.). UltraGard systems support up to eight bus
devices.
❑Each bus device must have a different unit number.
❑Concord systems allow one ESM per partition. For
UltraGard systems, only one ESM can be connected to
a panel.
❑The ESM maximum current draw is 30 mA.
❑Do not exceed the panel total power when using panel
power for bus devices and hardwired sensors that
require panel power (refer to the specific panel Instal-
lation Instructions).
❑Use 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire
from the ESM to the panel.
❑Use 22-gauge or larger stranded wire from the ESM to
the thermostat.
❑Install the ESM on an inside wall next to or as close as
possible to the existing thermostat. This keeps the tem-
perature difference between the ESM and the thermo-
stat to a minimum.
❑Programmable thermostats that use a battery to keep
time and other programmed settings may lose time and/
or programmed settings when the ESM is turned on.
This can happen since the ESM relay is interrupting the
thermostat main power, forcing the thermostat to rely
on battery power to save time and programmed set-
tings. As a result, the thermostat battery may need to be
replaced more often depending on how often and how
long the ESM is turned on.
❑Refer to the specific panel Installation Instructions for
wire length limits.
Tools and Supplies
❑Screwdrivers (Phillips and flat)
❑Screws and anchors (included)
❑Digital voltmeter
❑Drill with bits
❑Hammer
❑Wire cutters/strippers
❑4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire
❑22-gauge or larger stranded wire
❑Pen or pencil

Setting the Module Unit Number
Setting the Module Unit Number
Setting the Unit Number On Concord
(software versions 1.0–1.6) and
UltraGard Panels
Module dip switches can be set to any unit number 0–15.
The default setting 0 can be used if no other bus devices are
installed in the system. When using one module per
partition (Concord only), the lower unit number will be
assigned to partition 1, while the higher unit number will be
assigned to partition 2.
Note
Do not use module 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 ESM circuit board (see
Figure 1) and set them to the desired unit number (0–15)
before applying power (see Figure 6).
CAUTION
Do not change DIP switch settings once the panel is
powered up.
