SuperBus 2000 Phone Interface/Voice Module
Installation Instructions

Product summary

The SuperBus 2000® Phone Interface/Voice (PIV) Module
provides phone and voice functions for the Concord™ ,
Concord 4™, and Concord Express™ (v4) panels.

The PIV module allows installers and users to control a panel
— either on-site or from a remote location — through any
touch-tone telephone. Using an onboard digital voice chip, the
system announces status messages through each phone and
speaker connected to the module.

The PIV module also provides phone control for Concord
panels with single or multiple partitions. For multiple partitions,
a module can be used for each partition and connected to a
separate phone line.

The module communicates with the panel through a series of
bus connections and may be powered by the panel or an
auxiliary 12V DC power supply with backup battery.

SuperBus 2000 vs. SuperBus

SuperBus 2000 panels auto-address module unit numbers.
When the panel is powered, a unique device ID number (pre­programmed at the factory) is automatically learned by the
panel. Potential identical unit number conflicts and the need to
manually set DIP switches are eliminated.

Older SuperBus panels can communicate with the PIV module
by manually setting the module’s DIP switches.

Installation guidelines

P/N 466-1516-01 • REV C • 07APR11 1

When installing the PIV module, use the following guidelines:

• Concord systems can accommodate one PIV module per
partition. For multiple partition installations, each module
must be connected to a separate phone line and speaker.

• Give your customer the ability to unplug their system by
connecting the phone line with an RJ-31X jack. This
ensures your customer can unplug the system in cases of
malfunction where they must also use the phone.

• Mount the module inside the panel cabinet or use the
optional plastic wall-mount housing (part no. 60-800).

• 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.

• Set each bus module with different bus unit numbers
(must be manually set for Concord panels v1.0-1.6).

• Remember that the module draws a maximum 600 mA
from the panel’s 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.

Installation

When installing the PIV module, mount the module inside a
panel cabinet or on a wall.

Caution: To prevent damage to the panel or module, remove

the panel’s AC power transformer and disconnect the backup
battery before installation.
You must be free of static electricity when handling electronic
equipment. Touch a grounded metal surface before touching a
circuit board.

6. Install the circuit board on the housing backplate and
gently press the bottom of the board until it snaps into
place under the card latches (see Figure 4 above).

Wiring

Wiring the PIV module requires you to perform the following:

• Run wires for power, bus, speaker, and phone
connections.

• Install an RJ-31X jack for phone line connections.

• Wire connections for Concord system modules.

1. For power and bus connections, run a four-conductor, 22­gauge or larger diameter stranded wire from the module to
the panel (refer to Table 2 for maximum wire lengths).

Review the following guidelines prior to installing an RJ-31X
phone jack:

• Do not mount an RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada) more
than five feet away from the panel.

• Connect the panel to a standard (analog) phone line.
Ensure the analog line provides 48V DC and can increase
from 89V to 130V DC while the line is in use.

Note: Concord panels cannot be used on a digital or PBX
phone line. These line types are designed only for digital
devices that operate on 5V DC and higher. Because
Concord panels use analog modems and not digital
converters, adapters, or interfaces, the panel is unable to
use these line types.

• To establish line seizure in Partition 1, install an RJ-31X
phone jack on the home phone line so that the panel is
ahead of all other phones and devices. This allows the
panel to seize the phone line in case of an alarm, even if
the phone is in use or off the hook.

Note: The PIV module does not seize the line during an
alarm.

• If an analog line is not available, contact a
telecommunications specialist and request an analog line
from a phone switch (PBX mainframe) or a 1FB (standard
business line).

Note: Connecting the panel to a PBX-system analog line
prevents access from a home phone. However, you may
access the panel from an off-site phone.

1. Run a four-conductor cable from the TELCO protector
block to the jack location (see

line and splice it to the four-conductor cable’s black and
