Product Summary

The SuperBus 2-Line LCD Alphanumeric Touchpad gives you complete on-site system programming and operation control of a compatible security system (see the ‘Specifications’ section).

The two-line, 20-character, liquid-crystal alphanumeric display provides visual status messages for the entire system. The display identifies by name any programmed location so the user can determine where an alarm, trouble, or open-sensor condition exists. Lengthy location names or sensor text of up to

20 characters are displayed without scrolling.

You can select sensor names from the preprogrammed list or customize names to suit each customer. Sensor names are stored in the panel, which eliminates the need for downloading sensor text from one touchpad to another.

Touchpad keys light up after the first key press for easy night viewing. After approximately 15 seconds with no touchpad activity, this lighting goes out.

Pressing any key will illuminate the buttons again.

Additional features include the following:

■ Built-in piezo alarm and status tones

■

Twenty-four-hour panic buttons for police, auxiliary, and fire emergencies

■

One hardwire input (unsupervised)

■ Display contrast control

Installation Guidelines

■

For UltraGard™ systems, up to eight superbus devices can be connected to the panel (SuperBus

Alphanumeric Touchpad, HIM, HOM, ESM, etc.).

■ Each superbus device must have a different unit number.

■ The touchpad’s default unit ID number is 1.

■

Do not exceed the panel’s total power when using panel power for bus devices and hardwire sensors that require panel power (see the specific panel’s Installation Instructions).

■

Maximum current draw of the SuperBus 2-Line

LCD Alphanumeric Touchpad is 115 mA.

■

Mount the touchpad in an environmentally controlled area (42°F to 95°F).

■

If you use the optional hardwire input, mount the touchpad near the device connected to the input.

■

When mounting the touchpad’s back plate, allow a 1-inch clearance on all sides, since the touchpad is bigger than the back plate.

■ Use 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire from the display to the control panel.

■ Use 2-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire for the hardwire input.

■ Do not use the hardwire input for a critical protection device because this input is not supervised.

The following must be observed in UL installations:

■ The hardwire input can be configured for normally closed or normally open protection devices.

■

If you use the hardwire input and program it normally closed, mount the touchpad within 3 feet of the panel.

■ If the hardwire input is programmed normally open, the panel, touchpad, and initiating device

(hardwire sensor) must be mounted within 3 feet of each other. No intervening walls or barriers may be present between devices.

■

Only UL-listed devices may be connected to the hardwire input.

■

The hardwire input must not be used for fireinitiating devices.

Power Up and Bus Communication

Before you power up the panel, you must decide the unit number (device address) of each bus device

(Alphanumeric Touchpad, HIM, ESM, etc.) connected to the panel. The panel automatically learns the unit

SuperBus 2-Line LCD Alphanumeric Touchpad number of each bus device when you enter the program mode. All alphanumeric touchpads default to unit number 1.

Guidelines for Assigning Alphanumeric

Touchpad Unit Numbers

Use the following guidelines to avoid communication conflicts between bus devices and the panel:

■

Always start with one touchpad connected to the panel and get it operational with the panel, before connecting additional touchpads.

■ Whenever possible, such as in new installations, assign alphanumeric touchpad unit numbers before all other panel programming.

■

Always work from one touchpad location when assigning unit numbers for installations with multiple touchpads.

■ Other bus devices with unit number DIP switches

(ESM, HIM, HOM, etc.) must be set to the desired unit number before applying power and entering the program mode.

Getting One Touchpad Operational with the Panel

1.

Make sure no touchpads are connected to wiring harnesses.

2.

Choose the touchpad location closest to the panel and verify that all wiring at the panel and the touchpad wiring harness is correct.

3.

Make sure panel power is off or removed.

4.

Set the panel to the RUN or NORMAL mode.

5.

Apply power to the panel.

6.

Before connecting the wiring harness to the touchpad, hold the touchpad with one hand so that your thumb is holding down the 5 button.

7.

Connect the wiring harness to the touchpad with your other hand. The display shows DA 001 (DA

= device address; 1 = unit number 1).

8.

Set the panel to the program mode and the display should read PROGRAM MODE.

9.

Verify correct operation by pressing STATUS or

BYPASS. The display should show a different menu item for each button press.

If your installation only calls for one alphanumeric touchpad, you may proceed with other system programming.

If you have more alphanumeric touchpads to connect and assign unit numbers for, use the next procedure before proceeding with any other system programming.
