The 980 System Module is vital to the function of several features of the Access System. The new 980EZ has essentially the same functions as the original 980 module, but with a slightly different organization. Important features and landmarks are described here for comparison.
System Bus Headers
The 980EZ features smaller System Bus headers. To adapt to larger System Bus sizes, use an 802-319 cable. Contact Audio Authority Technical Service for assistance at 800/322-8346.
Indicator LEDs
The 980EZ indicator LEDs are arranged in a single column. The white Bus Monitor LED is an exception and is located among the System Bus headers.
TheftAlert™
To activate TheftAlert™ on the original 980, a jumper was pulled from the two pins labeled “CUT TO ACTIVATE.” On the 980EZ, TheftAlert™ is activated by flipping the rocker switch labeled “TA RESET” to the OFF position. Flip this switch to the ON position momentarily to reset TheftAlert™ in the absence of a 902 or 903 control panel. A remote TheftAlert™ reset switch may also be installed.
Metal Cover
The 980EZ has an optional protective metal cover. This cover provides a surface for clear legends and identification, and it shields the module against electrical noise.
Diagrams and Layouts

Indicator LEDs are arranged in a vertical column and include "SILENT TOUCH", "MONITOR", "LOW BATTERY", and "THEFT ALERT".
