Concord 4 Panels
GE offers several different variations of
the Concord Panel. The two that Alliance
specifies, the 4 and the Ultra, will be
discussed here. The Concord 4 Control Panel
is a commercial burglary panel that supports
up to 96 wireless zones and 8 hardwired
zones without add-on modules. The panel
has a built in wireless receiver with a rated
range of 1000’. The panel can support up to 16 bus devices and is
enclosed in a metal can. The superbus communication line consists of a
four wire bus line that is typically run on CAT5e cable. For particularly long
wire runs, more than 1000’ use non-shielded stranded core 18/4 cable. The
four conductors of the bus line are positive 12VDC, Bus A, Bus B and
negative 12VDC. The Concord 4 is capable of supporting a total of 1 amp
of current draw on the bus line without using a booster power supply.
The Concord Panel handles all of the wireless zone call data as it
streams through the system. In brief, the wireless transmitters, located in
the call stations, send a signal, when tripped, to the transceivers, or the
concord panel itself. That signal is then sent out on the bus line where the
control panel is able to handle it and pass it on through the automation
module to the server computer.
Alliance specifies that this device be powered by a 16.5VAC plug in
power supply. The outlet must be a dedicated generator backup circuit of
20 amps. Typically this unit should be mounted in a mechanical room, or
other utility room where the temperature does not rise above 90º F. It is
