Product Summary
The Four Output Expansion SnapCard™ lets you control
devices by adding hardwire outputs to a Concord, Concord
Express, or Advent panel.
This card can be installed into the Concord and Concord
Express expansion connector. On Advent panels this card
can be installed into the primary or secondary expansion
connector and in combination with other expansion cards.
The card includes four “Form C” dry contact relays. The
relays are controlled by a touchpad or a combination of
states and events in the system.
Outputs may be programmed to turn on lights, open drapes
and garage doors, turn on a closed-circuit-TV (CCTV) camera during a burglary ala rm, turn exi t ligh ting on duri ng fire
alarms, and activate backup cellular phones or long-range
radios if primary communications are inoperable.

with NFPA codes and standards.
Important !
On Advent panels SnapCard expansion connectors
must be used fo r either fire or bu rglary applicatio ns.
Do not mix fire and burglary applications on SnapCard
inputs and outputs.
To prevent damag ing the pane l or card, disc onnect the
panel AC Power and the backup battery(s) before
installation.
1. Unplug the panel AC power transformer and
disconnect the backup battery(s).
You must be free of all static electricity when handling
electronic components. Touch a grounded bare metal
surface before touching the circuit board.
2. Align the card holes with the standoffs and connector
pins as shown in Figure 2, 3 or 4 (depending on panel
type).

Wiring
Note
A) Class 2, Class 3, and power-limited fire alarm circuits must be installed using FPL, FPLR, FPLP, or
substitute cable permitted by the National Electrical
Code ANSI/NFPA 70. Wire that extends beyond the
cable jacket m ust be separated from all other conductors by a minimum of 1/4-inch or by a nonconductive
barrier.
OR
(B) Class 2, Class 3, and power-limited fire alarm circuit conductors must be installed as Class 1 or higher
circuits.
