Concord Touchpad has six wires that are soldered onto the back of the
circuit board. However, only four of these are used, the red, black, green
and white. The two yellow wires can be ignored. As with the control panel,
the Red and Black wires are positive and negative respectively, while the
green wire is Bus A and the white wire is Bus B.
Once the touch pad is powered up, it will automatically show,
“Scanning for Bus Devices”. This is a function of the control panel by which
it automatically scans the entire bus line for new or changed modules. The
touchpad does not have non-volatile memory, so the time and date must be
set every time it looses power. (Refer to the Concord Programming
Section)
With regard to the buttons on the front of the touchpad, there are
numeric buttons labeled 0-9 including star and pound. To the left of these
there are four buttons labeled A, B, C and D. Whenever the user desires to
view the system status, they may do so by pushing the star button. This will
show them any calls that are open, any system errors or tests that are
occurring. This is a very important feature. Anytime system programming
must be changed, this must be done by entering the programming mode.
This procedure will be described in the Concord Programming Section.
Automation Module
The Super Bus 2000 Automation
Module is the link between the Concord Panel
and the Server Computer. The Automation
Module passes on all the information
regarding system status through a serial port
which can be directly connected to the Server
Computer. This information is encoded in a communications protocol that
GE developed known as the Advent Protocols.
