This is the GE SuperBus 2000 Concord 4 GSM Module Installa-  
tion Instructions for part number 600-1053. The module can be  
used on Concord 4.0 and higher.  
The module interfaces with the Concord panel data bus and is  
powered by the panel battery or an auxiliary 12 VDC power  
supply. Status LEDs indicate bus and paging network communi-  
cations. A supervised zone input allows you to connect a hard-  
wired contact. Figure 1 shows the location of the main module  
components and Table 1 describes the component functions.  
4. Power the module off of the battery (see Wiring on page 3),  
not off of the panel.

To power up the module and panel and start communication  
between them, do the following:  
1. Verify that all wiring between the panel and module is  
correct.  
2. Connect the backup battery and restore AC power to the  
panel.  
The status LEDs, located on the left side of the module (Figure 1  
on page 1) indicate the current signal and status of the Wireless  
Gateway Module. The bottom red LED indicates if the module is  
in range and if it is registered. The yellow and green LEDs indi-  
cate the message status. The top LED is not used.  
Red LED  
Note:  
Whenever any module is added or changed, you  
must remove panel power and reapply it for the panel  
and module to communicate successfully.

and AUTO LEDs should flash to indicate successful  
communication with the panel.  
Blinks. When the module is registered with the network,  
but out of range.  
Yellow LED  
On. After the first message has been sent by the module  
and received by Alarm.com.  
4. Verify that GSM status LED 1 is not flashing any errors (see  
GSM status LEDs on page 5). Also, verify that LED 4 is at  
least flashing a level of two. Otherwise, relocate the  
module. If LED 1 and LED 4 are not flashing at all, and  
LED 2 and LED 3 are flashing together, the module is in  
PowerSave mode and the battery needs to be charged.  
Off. Until a message has been sent by the module.  
Blinks. When the first message is being sent by the  
module.  
Green LED  
5. Do an installer GSM manual phone test (at a system  
touchpad, enter 8, installer code, 3). Disarm the panel by  
entering 1, installer code within 10 seconds of starting the  
phone test. Before doing the manual phone test, the bottom  
red status LED should be on and the yellow status LED  
should be flashing. The yellow LED will stay on solid once  
the manual phone test is completed.  
Off. As soon as Alarm.com receives the message from the  
module (off most of the time).  
Blinks. When the message is being sent by the module.  
Table 4 describes status LED condition patterns.

number label on the module (Figure 1 on page 1).  
Idle mode  
LED 1 (red)  
In Idle mode, the AC power is up, the battery level is greater than  
11.5 volts, and the module is not currently connected to the  
Alarm.com servers. This is normal for the module and the most  
common state.  
LED 1 flashes when an error is encountered. The number of  
flashes is the error number. If there are two or more errors at the  
same time, the errors will be flashes one after the other. The LED  
will stay off for at least four seconds between errors.  
LED 1. Flashes errors, if any.  
Table 5 describes the errors indicated by LED 1.  
LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.  
LED 3. Indicates communication with the radio unit.  
LED 4. Indicates the signal level (1 to 5 bars).  
Table 5.  
Error descriptions  
Flashes  
Error description  
1
Module cannot communicate with the panel. Check wiring  
between the panel and the module. Make sure the bus wires are  
not swapped.  
PowerSave mode  
In PowerSave mode, the module just powered up, AC power is  
down, or battery level is less than 11.5 volts. The radio part of the  
module draws 10 mA in PowerSave mode. It is fully functional  
and will go into Connected mode as soon as a signal needs to be  
sent. Doing a manual phone test will switch the module into Idle  
mode and update the signal level reading.

3
The SIM card is missing. The SIM card holder can be found in the  
gateway just below the antenna (Figure 1 on page 1).  
This is a common error if the module takes more than ten seconds  
to register with the GSM network. It is normal for this error to show  
up for approximately 30 seconds while the module registers with  
the GSM network (at power up, for example). If it persists, then the  
module is unable to register with the GSM network. Check LED 4  
for the signal level. If the signal is too low, change the module’s  
location or use a higher gain antenna. If the signal is good, the  
module may be roaming on a GSM network that doesn’t partner  
with ATT-Cingular. If the module had been communicating in the  
past, there may be new interference from some other device or  
building.  
LED 1. Inactive.  
LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.  
LED 3. Same flashing pattern as LED 2.  
LED 4. Inactive.

The module is registered on the GSM network, but cannot connect  
with Alarm.com. Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.  
Connected mode  
In Connected mode, the module is connected to the Alarm.com  
servers and reported an alarm or other condition. The module  
stays in Connected mode for at least six minutes after the last  
message is exchanged. Entering Installer Programming mode  
will cause the module to go into Idle mode.

6
The radio portion of the module is not working correctly.  
This is an error only if it persists for more than a minute. Otherwise,  
it is an indication that the module is fixing an unusual condition  
regarding the communication with the GSM network.

Access Code Lock is on. The module cannot do certain operations  
with the panel. This option should be turned off at the panel  
(System Programming - 0003).  
LED 1. Flashes errors, if any.  
LED 2. Indicates communication with the panel.  
LED 3. Indicates communication with Alarm.com.  
LED 4. Alternates two seconds on, then two seconds off.  
Contact Alarm.com Technical Support.  
LED 2 (yellow)  
LED 2 flashes with every communication between the module  
and the panel. Normal pattern calls for a series of quick flashes  
every two seconds in Idle mode or four seconds in PowerSave  
mode.  
Sensors 94, 95, and 96  
If sensors 94, 95, and 96 are not learned in, after doing a manual  
phone test, the text for these sensors will display important infor-  
mation for troubleshooting purposes. Alarm.com technical  
support staff may request this information during service calls.  
LED 3 (green)  
LED 3 flashes with every communication between the module  
and its radio unit in Idle mode and with every communication  
with Alarm.com in Connected mode. In PowerSave mode, this  
LED flashes in unison with LED 2.  
Sensor 94 text. SIM card number.  
Sensor 95 text. Type of central station reports enabled.  
Sensor 96 text. Serial number.  
LED 4 (green)  
LED 4 indicates the GSM signal level as a number of flashes (1  
to 5). The signal level is updated every eight seconds. No flashes  
indicate one of the following:  
• The module is in PowerSave mode or in Connected mode.  
• The module is powered up or has just exited PowerSave  
mode.  
• There is no GSM tower coverage in the area.  
In Connected mode, the LED toggles on and off.
