6. Position the mounting plate in its normal mount-
ing position (tab at the bottom) and fold the card
toward you at all three scored lines. The “Zones”
section should be facing you and the folds should
create a tab to slide the card in and out.
7. Align the mounting plate wall-mount holes with
the wall anchors and secure the back plate to the
wall using the screws provided.
or-- If installing the backplate on an electrical gang
box, line up the appropriate gang box holes on the
mounting plate with the gang box holes and
secure the back plate to the gang box using the
screws provided.
Note: Do not overtighten screws or the back plate
may bind and prevent the touchpad from
mounting properly.
8. For wall-mounted installations, cut a hole in the
wall in the wire access area of the mounting plate
to pull your cable through for wiring.
Wiring
Wiring consists of connecting the touchpad to the
panel terminals.
Wiring the Touchpad to Concord Panels
1. Disconnect the panel’s transformer and backup
battery.
2. Run a 4-conductor, 18- to 22-gauge wire from the
panel to the touchpad location.
3. Splice the 4-conductor cable wires to the red,
black, green, and white wires located on the back
of the touchpad.
4. Connect the touchpad wiring to the panel termi-
nals as shown in Figure 4
Figure 4. Wiring the Touchpad to Concord Panels
Setting the Touchpad’s Device Address
Before powering up the panel, the touchpad’s DIP
switches must be set to a device address different from
all other bus devices to ensure correct operation and
avoid bus conflicts. In most installations, the default
setting of 3 (both DIP switches on) should work.
Use the following guidelines to avoid communication
conflicts between bus devices and the panel:
O All bus devices with address DIP switches (LED
Touchpad, ESM, HIM, etc.) must be set to the
desired address before applying power and
entering the program mode.
O Whenever possible, assign touchpad addresses
before all other panel programming.
To set the touchpad’s unit number:
1. Locate the DIP switches on the back of the touch-
pad, at the upper-left corner.
2. Set the DIP switches to an address different from
all other bus devices connected to the panel. Fig-
ure 5 shows the possible touchpad unit number
settings.

Attaching the Touchpad to the Mounting
Plate
1. Align the four slots on the touchpad with the four
tabs on the mounting plate.
2. Slide the keypad down until you hear the latch on
the mounting plate click into place.
Power Up and Bus Communication
After making all wiring connections from the
touchpad to the panel and setting the device address,
you are ready to power up the panel. The panel
automatically learns the address of each bus device
when you apply power. However, only alphanumeric
touchpads can be used to enter installer programming
mode. LED touchpads have only user programming
capabilities.
If you plan on installing systems with no
alphanumeric touchpads, it is recommended that you
keep an alphanumeric touchpad with you, specifically
for programming.
To power up the panel and verify bus communica-
tion:
1. Verify that all wiring between the panel and
touchpad is correct.
2. Connect the panel battery and plug in the panel
transformer. Alphanumeric touchpads should
show a date and time display.
3. At an alphanumeric touchpad, enter program
mode by pressing 8 + installer CODE (default =
4321) + 0 + 0. The touchpad should display SYS-
TEM PROGRAMMING.
4. Press #and the display shows SECURITY.
5. Press Aor Buntil the display shows ACCES-
SORY MODULES, then press #. The display
should read BUS DEVICES.
6. Press #. The display shows the lowest address and
its device name. For example, an alphanumeric
touchpad address display looks like this:
UNIT - TYPE
01 - ATP
7. Press Aor Bto cycle through all bus devices until
the LED touchpad (identified as LTP) appears.
For example:
UNIT - TYPE
03 - LTP
8. After verifying the touchpad address, press *
repeatedly until the display shows SYSTEM PRO-
GRAMMING.
9. Press Aor Buntil the display shows EXIT PRO-
GRAMMING.
10. Press #to exit program mode. The display shows
the date and time display.
Changing the Touchpad’s Device
Address
Use the following guidelines when changing unit
number assignments to avoid communication
conflicts between bus devices and the panel:
O All bus devices with DIP switches (LED
Touchpad, ESM, HIM, etc.) must be set to the
desired address before applying power and
entering the program mode.
O Whenever possible, assign touchpad addresses
before all other panel programming.
To change the touchpad’s device address:
1. Remove AC and backup battery power from the
panel.
2. Change the DIP switch setting on the back of the
LED touchpad (see Figure 5). Remember, the set-
ting must be different from all other bus devices.
3. Apply AC and backup battery power to the panel.
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 an address that is no longer
assigned to any bus device. To clear the failure,
enter program mode, locate the address (under
BUS DEVICES) and delete it by pressing D.
5. Exit from program mode. The touchpad and all
other bus devices should operate correctly and
any bus failures should be cleared.
