Product Summary
The SuperBus® 2000 Voice Module provides voice functions for
Concord
Concord Express
Using an onboard, digital voice chip, the panel announces status
messages through each phone and speaker connected to the
module. In addition, a vocabulary of more than 220 words
provides easy to understand messages.
The voice module provides feedback for single or muliple-partition panels. For multiple partitions, a module can be used for
each partition and connected to a separate speaker.
The module communicates with the panel through the SuperBus
2000
DC supply or an auxiliary 12V DC power supply with backup
battery.
Features
The Voice Module includes the following features:

Installation Guidelines
• Use four-conductor, 22-gauge or larger diameter stranded
wire to connect the module to the panel.
• Install the module inside the panel cabinet or as close to the
cabinet as possible.
• For Concord Express systems, leave the current jumper
installed; when installing a Concord (v2.0-later), Concord 4,
or Concord Express (v4) panel, remove the current jumper.
• When the current jumper is installed, the voice module
draws a maximum 300 mA from panel power supply. When
the current jumper is removed, the module draws a
maximum of 600 mA from panel power supply.
• When using panel power to supply bus or hardwired
devices, do not exceed the panel’s total power output. Refer
to specific panel Installation Instructions for further detail.

Wiring
Wiring the Voice Module includes the following:
• Running required wires for power, bus, and speaker
communications.
• Connecting module wires for use in a Concord system.
For power and bus connections, route a four-conductor, 22-gauge
or larger diameter stranded wire from the module to the panel
(see Table 2 for wire length limits). Route a two-conductor, 22gauge or larger stranded wire cable from the module to the
speaker.
