descriptions.
To wire the module to the panel:
1.Make sure power is turned off to the panel.
2.Make sure the power transformer and backup bat tery(s)
are disconnected from the panel.
To wire the module to the Advent panel:
1.Wire the module to the panel SuperBus Wiring harness
as shown in Figure 4. (Refer to panel Installation Instructions for cable types and maximum cable
lengths.)
2.Plug the wiring harness i nto one of the panel SuperB us
Connectors.

To connect a device to the module:
1.Attach the appropriate DB-9 serial cable to the connector on the module (Figure 5). This cable must be less
than 25 feet in length.
1RWH
The RS-232 Automation Module’s RS-232 port is configured as a DCE device. Therefore it transmits data
on pin 2, receives data on pin 3. Pin 5 is the signal
ground. All other pins are not used.
If the automation device’s RS-232 port is configured
as a DTE port, then a “straight through” DB-9 cable
must be used. Otherwise a “null modem” cable must
be used.
Refer to the automation device instructions for information about its RS-232 port.
2.If necessary set the communication parameters on the
automation device’s RS-232 port as follows: 8 data
bits, 9600 bps, odd parity, 1 stop bit.
3.Connect an input device (if used) to the module zone
input terminals (Figure 5)

Installing a Case Tamper Switch
Installi ng a Case Tamper Switch
If the module is visible, you may want to add case tamper
detection. Then, if someone opens the cover, the switch
opens and causes an alarm. To add module case tampering,
install a magnet in the cover and a reed s witch into the back
plate or case. Wire the switch to the module or one of the
panel zone inputs. (See Figure 5 or pa nel Installation Instructions).
Power Up and Bus Communication
This section describes how to power up the panel and the
module and get them communicating with each other.
To power up th e p anel and the module:
1.Verify that all wiring at the panel and the module are
correct.
2.Reconnect the panel batteries and plug in the power
transformer. The module power LED should be on.
3.On initial power up, the panel automatically adds
(learns) the module into panel memory.
After a few seconds, the module bus status LED should
flash at a rapid and random rate to indicate it is learned
into the panel.
If the module bus status LED flashes at a steady rate,
the module must be manually added (learned) into
panel memory. (Refer to the panel Installation Instruc-tions for adding SuperBus modules.)
Programming/Operating the Module
Refer to the panel Installation Instructions for module
input/output programming and operation.

Testing
Verify proper operation of the automation device. Refer to
the automation device instructions for an explanation of
proper operation.
Troubleshooting
Module POWER LED stays off.
1.Check module and panel power.
2.Check SuperBus wiring and connections
Module BUS STATUS LED stays off.
1.Check SuperBus wiring and connections
2.Check for proper panel/SuperBus module programming and initialization.
Module BUS STATUS LED stays on.
1.Re initialize panel and module by turning panel power
off and on.
2.Module circuit failure. Replace the module.
Module BUS STATUS LED blinks, but no automation
device operation.
1.Check that the automation device power is on.
2.If the LED is not blinking at a rapid, random rate, the
module is not learned into the panel.
3.Check module and device cables and connections.
4.Check panel/module programming.
5.Check the RS-232 LED. It should blink at least once
every 4 seconds.
