Ge Concord 4 Keypad Manual
Just wondering if anyone has a recommendation as to best (cheapest) place to buy the base system I would need to start using the GE Concord 4 system integrated with my Control4 system. Also, does a person need to order anything other than additional sensors to be up and running with the system so long as it's integrated? I haven't seen the Concord so how does it actually connect to the Control 4?I found 2 places but am wondering the difference in functionality between the 2 model numbers (I'm primarily looking to use the motion sensors)(80-860-4 - Concord 4 Wireless Alarm Kit)(80-952-4 Concord 4 Hardwire Package F11) Edited September 3, 2011 by drmark12pa.
RusHere is a link to the post and what I posted.I would start with the followingGE 80-968-4 Concord 4: ATP1000 2x16 Alphanumeric Touchpad, Transformer, Phone Cord, RJ31X Jack, (3) Recessed Hardwire Magnetic Contacts, (1) Hardwire Siren and (1) Hardwire Pet Immune PIR Motion Detector (Will ship within 24hours)This is the alarm panel. It has wireless capability and has 8 hard wired input zones and can have smoke detectors hooked up also. It comes with a hardwired keypad. I would recommend at least 1 hardwired keypad. You can add extra keypads later.GRI 2800 Water SensorI like GRI products and I think this is a good hardwired water sensorGE 60-774 SuperBus 2000: 8-Zone Input Module.
Adds 8 Additional Supervised Hardwire Zones. 2K Ohm Resistors Includedthe panel has 8 input zones so you might not need this now. It adds 8 more hard wired inputs (i.e.
Contact switches)GE TX-4014-01-2: DesignLine 4-Button Keyfob, Black (optional)The keyfobs are optional but are a nice little ad on.GE 60-783-02 SuperBus: 2000 Automation Module w/RS232: Integrates Concord w/Energy Management Systems, Lighting Controls and Audio/Video Systems.

Alan, thanks for the info.Bear with me as a new Control4 user but a few more questions:1) If I'm primarily going to use the system for motion sensors to trigger lights and such, do I really have to have a battery backup? Or is this basically to keep the system functioning for things such as water detection, security, etc.?2) for the install, what do parts of the system have to be connected to? I'm trying to figure out the components of the Concord 4 and their relation to my Control4 system. In reading your older posting I'm trying to understand the serial (I assume the connection for the RS232) connection between the Control4 and the Concord. Can the GE 60-783-02 SuperBus: 2000 Automation Module w/RS232 be connected to a Control4 controller somewhere not necessarily readily accessible as it doesn't appear to have any touchpad? Does the ATP1000 Touchpad included then do most of the controlling unless you use the Control4 to do most of the work? Is the ATP1000 Touchpad wired or wireless (if wired what kind of cable connects it to the primary Concord panel?3) Can the Concord 4 be integrated with Control4 to provide a person alerts via cell phone or email if a condition exists (ie water, temp control, intruder, etc)?

I'm trying to figure out if you're not home how the Concord lets you know when there is a problem. I haven't even used Control4 Composer HE so I'm not sure how email alerts and notifications can be programmed with Control4 so I'm assuming this is where the Control4 and Concord work together?4) In looking at the different Concord 4 packages, I'm trying to avoid any hardwiring of sensors/detectors. I would prefer all wireless if possible. I joined the C4forums a few weeks back and have been doing alot ofresearch on the best 'accessories' to add to my Control4 plan.I would like to add an alarm panel to the system and it seems that theConcord4 is the right one. I read the Concord4 has a GSM module, does thatallow for alarm calls to go out to CS via verizon cellular (3g or 4g)? Canthe Concord4 send signals via landline (voip) and GSM?

I would like to havea system immune to a burglar cutting our communications lines.Do you have a total Concord4 package you sell? Can I use alarm.com for CSthrough you? I am in NY, if that matters.
