Note: If the backup battery is not connected, or if the configuration of panel
terminal 7 is programmed to anything other than the default (00410), then the
combined currents of terminal 7 (OUT 1/+12) and terminal 4 (+12V) must not
exceed 750 mA.
15-Watt, Dual Tone Siren (13-469)
Panel terminal 7 (OUT1/+12V) is a +12V programmable output. At the default
configuration setting (00410), this output can provide up to 1.25 A during an
alarm (650 mA for UL Listed systems) if the backup battery is connected.
The default configuration setting (00410) activates the output during any audible
alarm, allowing for a siren connection without changing the output configuration
number.
Note: For UL Listed systems, Siren Verify must be on.
Note: Some versions of this siren may have two wires of each color. Only one
black wire and one yellow wire are needed for panel connections.
For UL Listed installations, you can connect only one 15-Watt, Dual-Tone Siren
to panel terminals 3 and 7 as shown in Figure 12 above. For all other
installations, connect up to two sirens. This siren does not require an end-of-line
resistor.
Hardwire Siren (13-046)
Connect one or two sirens to the panel with supervision as shown in Figure 13 on
page 19. If Siren Verify is turned off, the 2k end-of-line resistor is not required.
Note: For UL Listed systems, Siren Verify must be on and the 2k end-of-line
resistor installed.

Interior Piezo Siren (30-006)
Panel terminal 8 (OUT2/OC) is an open-collector (switched path-to-ground),
programmable output that can handle up to a 200 mA current.
The default setting (01710) activates the output for status and alarm tones, which
allows for a piezo siren connection without changing the output configuration
number.
Connect the piezo siren to the panel terminals with a 2k end-of-line resistor as
shown in Figure 14 below.
Note: Piezo siren connections to terminal 8 require a 2k end-of-lineresistor that
can be located at the panel since it does not supervise the circuit.
Figure 14: Connecting an interior piezo siren
Note: If using an external power supply instead of panel terminal 4, the supply
voltage must be limited to 9.5 VDC maximum and the negative side of the power
supply must be connected to panel ground (terminal 3).
Connecting Siren Drivers, Self-Contained Sirens, and
Bells
Power for a siren driver, self-contained siren, or bell can be connected to panel
terminals 7 (OUT1/+12V) and 3 (GND).

Panel terminal 7 (OUT1/+12V) is a +12-volt programmable output. At the default
configuration setting (00410), this output can provide up to 1.25 A during an
alarm (650 mA for
UL Listed systems) if the backup battery is connected.
Note: If the backup battery is not connected, or if the configuration of panel
terminal 7 is programmed to anything other than the default (00410), then the
combined currents of terminal 7 (OUT 1/+12) and terminal 4 (+12V) must not
exceed 750 mA.
The default configuration setting (00410) activates the output during any audible
alarm.
The following siren drivers, self-contained sirens, and bells have been tested and
found compatible for use with the panel:
Alphanumeric touchpads can be used for installer programming, system
operation, and user programming. Fixed display touchpads can be used for
system operation and user programming but not for installer programming.
Note: Be sure to have an alphanumeric (programming) touchpad on hand for onsite programming in installations that do not include one as part of the final
system configuration. This programming touchpad can be connected to the
Programming Touchpad Header (see Figure 15 on page 21) using a
Programming Touchpad Cable (part no. 60-791).
Connect 2x16 and fixed display LCD touchpads to the panel power output and
bus terminals as shown in Figure 15 on page 21.
The 2x20 LCD/VFD touchpads include a supervised hardwire input for
connection to a hardwire detection device (see Figure 15 on page 21 for an
example of a normally closed connection).

Chapter 1
Connect 2x20 LCD/VFD touchpads to the panel power output and bus terminals
as shown in Figure 15 below.
Note: The panel cannot be used on a digital or PBX phone line. These systems
are designed only for digital type devices that operate anywhere from 5 volts DC
and up. The panel uses an analog modem and does not have a digital converter,
adapter, or interface to operate with such systems.
Use the following guidelines when installing an RJ-31X phone jack for system
control by phone and central station monitoring.
•Locate the RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada) no further than five feet from the
panel.
• The panel must be connected to a standard analog (loop-start) phone line.
• For full line seizure, install an RJ-31X phone jack on the premises phone line
so the panel is ahead of all phones and other devices on the line. This allows
the panel to take control of the phone line when an alarm occurs even if the
phone is in use or off-hook.
•If an analog line is not available, contact your customers’ telecommunications
specialist and tell him/her you need an analog line off the phone switch (PBX
mainframe) or a 1FB (standard business line).
Concord Express Installation Instructions 21
Chapter 1
To connect a phone line to the panel using an RJ-31X/CA-38A jack:
1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO protector block to the jack location
(see A in Figure 16 below).
2. Connect one end of the cable to the jack (see B in Figure 16 below).
Figure 16: Installing an RJ-31X Phone Jack
3. At the TELCO protector block, remove the premises phone lines (lines from
phone jacks on premises) from the block and splice them to the black and
white (or yellow) wires of the
4-conductor cable (see C in Figure 16 above).
Note: Connecting the panel to an analog line off the phone switch places the
panel ahead of the phone system which prevents panel access from phones
on the premises. However, the panel can still be accessed from off-site
phones.
4. Connect the green and red wires from the 4-conductor cable to the TIP (+)
and RING (-) posts on the block (see D in Figure 16 above).
5. Check the phones on the premises for dial tone and the ability to dial out and
make phone calls. If phones do not work correctly, check all wiring and make
corrections where necessary. Proceed to the “Troubleshooting” section of this
manual if problems persist.
Connecting the Phone Line to the Panel with a DB-8
Cord
After installing the RJ-31X jack, you are ready to connect the phone line to the
panel. A DB-8 cord (not included) uses a plug at one end for connecting to the
RJ-31X module and flying leads on the other end for panel terminal connections.
22 Concord Express Installation Instructions
Chapter 1
To connect the DB-8 cord to the panel terminals and RJ-31X jack:
1. Connect the green, brown, gray, and red flying leads from the DB-8 cord to
panel terminals 18, 19, 20, and 21 (see Figure 17 below).
2. Insert the DB-8 cord plug into the RJ-31X (see Figure 17 below).
Figure 17: Connecting the DB8 cord
3. Check the phones on the premises for dial tone and the ability to dial out and
make phone calls. If phones do not work correctly, check all wiring and
correct where necessary. Proceed to the “Troubleshooting” on page 76 of this
manual if problems persist.
Connecting the AC Power Transformer
Note: If you plan on connecting an alphanumeric touchpad to the programming
touchpad header on the panel, do not connect it until after the panel is powered
up. Refer to “Entering Programming Mode.”
The panel must be powered by a plug-in stepdown transformer that supplies 16.5
VAC, 25 VA (60-822 or 60-679-CN). Connect the power transformer to the panel
as shown in Figure 18 on page 24.
Caution: Do not plug in the power transformer at this time. The panel must be
powered up using the sequence of steps described in “Powering Up the Panel”
on page 24.

Powering Up the Panel
Note: Without AC power, shutdown will occur if battery voltage falls below 10.2
VDC.
After installing SnapCards and wiring all devices to the panel, you are ready to
apply AC and backup battery power to the panel.
To power up the panel:
1. Connect the red and black battery leads (included with panel) to the lugs
located in the upper-left area of the panel circuit board (see Figure 19 below).
