ITI Part No. 60-804 & 60-810
Installation Instructions
Product Summary
The ITI® SuperBus 2000 2 x 20 VFD (vacuum fluorescent
display) Alphanumeric Touchpad gives you complete onsite system programming and operation control of a compatible security system (see the section “Specifications”).
A two-line, 40-character display provides visual system
status messages. The display identifies any programmed
location, allowing the user to determine where an alarm,
trouble, or open-sensor condition exists.
Other features include:
❑ Touchpad buttons that light up after the first button
press and remain lit until about 15 seconds after the last
button press.
❑ Adjustable display brightness.
❑ Built-in hardwire input (can be supervised with EOL
resistor in SuperBus 2000 panels).
❑ Built-in door, which covers right-side buttons (60-810
only).
SuperBus 2000 Panels
SuperBus 2000 panels assign mo dule unit numbers
automatically when the panel is powered up. This
eliminates manually setting unit numbers and the chance of
identical unit number conflicts.
SuperBus 2000 Panels
❑ Advent
❑ Concord (software versions 2.0 and newer)
❑ Concord Express
SuperBus panels communicate w ith SuperBus 2000
modules but require the module unit number to be set
manually. Touchpads automatically default to unit number
001.

Installation Guidelines
❑ For the maximum number of bus devices and
touchpads per panel see Table 1.

❑ Do not exceed the total panel output power when using
panel power for bus de vices , t ouc hp ads , an d h ardwi red
sensors that require it (see specifi c panel Installation
Instructions).
❑ Maximum current draw from the touchpad is 120 mA.
❑ Minimum current draw from the touchpad when the
panel is operating only on backup battery is 15 mA.
❑ Mount the touchpad in an environmentally controlled
area (32° to 140°F) (0° to 60°C).
❑ When using the optional touchpad hardwire input, use
only shielded wire (22-gauge or larger), and do not
exceed the maximum wire length limits in Table 2
between the touchpad and detection device.
Shield wire must be connected to earth ground.

❑ When mounting the touchpad back-plate, allow a 1-
inch clearance on all sides since the touchpad is larger
than the back-plate.
❑ Use 4-conductor, 22-gauge or larger stranded wire from
the touchpad to the control panel.
❑ Follow the wire length limits outlined in the specific
panel Installation Instructions between the touchp ad
and control panel.

Tools Needed
The following must be observed in UL installations
❑ The touchpad hardwire input must not be used for fire
alarm initiating devices.
❑ Only UL-listed devices may be connected to the touch-
pad hardwire input.
❑ The touchpad hardwire input can be configured for
normally closed or normally open protection devices.
❑ For UL installations with UltraGard and Concord (soft-
ware versions 1.0–1.6) panels, do not use the touchpad
hardwire input.
Tools Needed
❑ Drill with bits
❑ Screwdrivers
❑ #6 screws and anchors (included)
❑ Panhead screws for a gang box installation
❑ Saw or utility knife for cutting wallboard
Note
Do not use screws larger than #6 or the touchpad will
not seat properly onto the back-plate.
Installation
To mount the touchpad in a gang box:
1. Separate the mounting bracket from the back-plate by
loosening the two bottom screws and unlatching the
tabs from the mounting slots (see Figure 1).
2. Line up the gang bo x mo unting holes with the holes on
the gang box (see Figure 2).
3. Secure the back-plate to the gang box with panhead
screws.
Note
Do not overtighten screws or the back-plate may bind
and prevent the touchpad from mounting properly.

The touchpad can be installed on a wall or in a gang box.
To mount the touchpad on a wall:
1. Separate the mounting bracket from the back-plate by
loosening the two bottom screws and u nlatching the
tabs from the mounting slots (see Figure 1).
2. Place the back-plate on the wall and mark the four
mounting holes and the wire access hole (see Figure 2).
Be sure to leave a 1-inch clearance on all sides of the
back-plate.
3. Drill holes and insert appropriate anchors.
4. Secure the back-plate to the wall with included screws.
5. Cut a hole in the wall where the wire access hole was
marked to pull your cable through.

Wiring
Wiring consists of connecting the touchpad wiring harness
to the panel terminals. You may also connect an optional
hardwire sensor to the touchpad hardwire input wires.
Before You Begin
1. Disconnect the panel AC power transformer and
backup battery (turn off power switch on UltraGard
panels).
2. Run a 4-conductor, 22-gauge wire cable from the panel
to the touchpad location.
3. Splice the 4-conductor cable wires to the matching colored wires located on the touchpad wiring harness.
Find your panel in the next section for specific wiring
instructions.
