Note
When installing SuperBus 2000 RF Receiver Modules, the Antenna Tamper feature must be set to off
(see REPORTING—GLOBAL in the "Programming" section).
Table 2 describes the total system wire lengths allowed for all SuperBus 2000 devices when
installing systems using unshielded or shielded cable. (The maximum wire length for individual
devices is shown in Table 1)
Table 2: Total System Wire Length Allowed
18-gauge, unshielded
18-gauge, shielded
22-gauge, unshielded
22-gauge, shielded
After determining panel location, run all necessary wires to that location using the guidelines in
Table 3.

Mounting the Panel

Use the following procedure to mount the panel to the wall or wall studs.
Make sure you are free of static electricity whenever you work on the panel with the cover
!
open. To discharge any static, first touch the metal panel chassis, then stay in contact with
the chassis when touching the circuit board. Using an approved grounding strap is recom-
mended.
Caution
To mount the panel (see Figure 2):
1. Remove the panel door and remove the necessary wiring knockouts. Be careful not to dam-
age the circuit board.
2. Feed all wires through wiring knockouts and place the panel in position against the wall.
3. Level the panel and mark the top and bottom mounting holes.
4. Install anchors where studs are not present.
5. Partially insert screws into the two top mounting hole locations, then hang the panel on the
two screws.
