8Z Input Expansion SnapCard
Installation Guidelines
■ Install a 2k ohm EOL resistor for each supervised
hardwire loop.
■ Plug the expansion card into t he Concor d™ pa nel
expansion slot or either the primary or secondary
expansion slot of the Advent™ panel or SuperBus™ 80Z Input/16 Output Module.
■ Use 4-conductor , 22-ga uge or lar ger stranded w ire
from the terminals to the devices.
INSTALLATION
INSTRUCTIONS
Product Summary
The Eight Zone Input Expansion SnapCard™ enables
you to add hardwire input devices to wireless
Concord™ panels and additional hardwire input
devices to Advent™ panels and to SuperBus™ 80Z
Input/16 Output Modules.
The card includes the following:
■ Two 12V two-wire smoke detector loops that pro-
vide power (100mA) to Style B (Class B) smoke
detectors.
■ Six supervised UL Fire rated hardwire loops (2k
ohm EOLR required) that can be used for any
hardwire device including:
Four-wire smoke detectors, fire pulls, water flow
detector switches, gate valve switches, control
valve supervisory switches, butterfly valve
switches, rate-of-rise detectors, carbon monoxide
gas detectors, assorted other gas detectors and
standard burglar devices.
■ False alarm prevention.
When the panel receives an alarm from a smoke
detector, the panel briefly interrupts power to the
smoke loop. The smoke detectors reset and
recheck the alarm.
On Advent™ panels and SuperBus™ 80Z Input/16
Output Modules, this card may be installed into the
primary or secondary expansion slot and in combination with other cards.
Tools Needed (optional)
■ Small and medium size screwdrivers
■ 22-gauge or larger stranded hookup wire
■ Self-tapping metal screws (included)
■ 2K ohm end-of-line (EOL) resistors (included)
Installation
Use the following instructions to install the card, wire
the input devices, and program the panel.

CAUTION:
To prevent damaging the panel or card,
always remove panel AC power and disconnect backup batter y before instal lation.
1. Remove panel AC power and disconnect backup
battery.
WARNING:
You must be free of all static
electricity when handling electronic components. Touch a bare metal surface before
touching the circuit board.
3. Press firmly to seat the board onto the connector
4. Secure the card to the panel cabinet with the two
supplied self-tapping screws.
