Wiring Specifications

Induced noise (transfer of electrical energy from one wire to another) can interfere with
telephone communication or cause false alarms. To avoid induced noise, follow these
guidelines:
•

Isolate input wiring from high current output and power wiring. Do not pull one multiconductor cable for the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
High voltage

AC power, Terminals 1-3

SLC loops

Terminals 33-36

Audio input/output

Phone line circuits, Terminals
37-44

Notification circuits

Terminals 4-15

SBUS

Terminals 16-23

Relay circuits

Terminals 24-32

•

Do not pull wires from different groups through the same conduit. If you must run them
together, do so for as short a distance as possible or use shielded cable. Connect the shield
to earth ground at the panel. You must route high and low voltages separately.

•

Route the wiring around the inside perimeter of the cabinet. It should not cross the circuit
board where it could induce noise into the sensitive microelectronics or pick up unwanted
RF noise from the high speed circuits. See Figure 3-1 for an example.

•

High frequency noise, such as that produced by the inductive reactance of a speaker or
bell, can also be reduced by running the wire through ferrite shield beads or by wrapping it
around a ferrite toroid.

Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery

This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery needs for your
installation.

3.6.1

Worksheet Requirements

The following steps must be taken when determining 5820XL current draw and standby
battery requirements.
Filling in the Current Draw Worksheet, Table 3-2 (Section 3.6.2)
1. For the 5820XL, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel, addressable devices,
and all SBUS expanders. Fill in the number of addressable devices and expanders that will
be used in the system and compute the current draw requirements for alarm and standby.
Record this information in Table 3-2 at Line A.
2. Add up the current draw for all auxiliary devices and record in the table at Line B.
3. Add up all notification appliance loads and record in the table at Line C.
4. For notification appliances and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual, refer to the
device manual for the current ratings.
5. Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including current for the panel itself,
does not exceed 5.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the 5820XL control panel.
If the current is above 5.0 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as
the Silent Knight 5395 or the 5895XL intelligent power expander, to distribute the power
loads so that the 5820XL or the power expanders do not exceed their power rating. Refer
to the current draw worksheets provided with the 5395 or 5895XL manuals so you do not
exceed their power requirements.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in Table 3-2 for determining battery size
requirements.

Control Panel Installation
Caution!
To avoid the risk of electrical shock and damage to the unit, power should be OFF at the control panel while
installing or servicing.

4.1

Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet

Read the environmental specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the control panel
cabinet. This will ensure that you select a suitable location.
The panel should be accessible to main drop wiring runs. It should be mounted as close to the
center of the building as possible and located within a secured area, but should be accessible
for testing and service.
Mount the control panel cabinet so it is firmly secured to the wall surface. When mounting on
concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of 3/4-inch plywood to the
concrete surface and then attach the cabinet to the plywood. Also mount any other modules to
the plywood.
The cabinet can be surface- or flush-mounted. If you will be flush-mounting the cabinet, the
hole for the enclosure should be 14.75" W x 25" H x 4" D. Do NOT flush-mount in a wall
designated as a fire break.

4.1.1

Removing the 5820XL Assembly from the Housing

If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet for
repair, do so by unscrewing the nuts that connect the control panel assembly to the cabinet. Do
not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards. See Section 3.5 for location of the nuts.

AB-33 Accessory Cabinet

The AB-33 Accessory cabinet can be used when your backup batteries requirements use
backup batteries that are too large to fit into the main control panel cabinet. The AB-33
cabinet holds batteries up to the 33 AH size.

4.3.1.1 Installing the AB-33 Accessory Cabinet and Batteries
To properly install the accessory cabinet and backup batteries, follow these steps:
1. Mount the accessory cabinet. See figure Figure 4-3 for the four cabinet mounting holes.
•

If mounting onto drywall the accessory cabinet must be mounted onto 3/4-inch plywood. This is necessary because the weight of the batteries inside the accessory cabinet could cause the cabinet to pull away from the drywall.

•

When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of
3/4-inch plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the AB-33 cabinet to the plywood.

•

If using the battery cable extenders provided (P/N 140643), mount the AB-33 cabinet
no more than 18" away from the main control panel cabinet. This will ensure that the
battery cables reach the battery terminals.

SBUS Wiring

This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types of wiring
configurations (Class A and B).

4.4.1

Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules

The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the maximum
wiring distance that can be used with control panel SBUS accessory modules.
To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the control panel,
it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on a single 4conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding the individual worst
case currents for each module. The individual worst case values are shown in the table below.
Note: Total worst case current draw on a single SBUS cannot exceed 1 amp. If a large number of accessory modules are required, and the worst case current draw will exceed the 1 amp limit, then the current draw must
be distributed using 5895XL Power Expanders. Each 5895XL Power Expander provides an additional
SBUS, with an additional 1 amp of SBUS current. Wiring distance calculations are done separately for
each 5895XL, and separately for the control panel itself.

After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 4-1 specifies the maximum distance
the modules can be located from the panel on a single wire run. The table insures 6.0 volts of
line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by resistance, but for heavier wire
gauges, capacitance is the limiting factor.

These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never be more
than 6,000 feet, regardless of gauge used. (The formula used to generate this chart is shown in
the note below).

Wiring Distance calculation example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following SBUS modules:
2 - Module 5860 Fire Annunciator
1 - 5895XL Intelligent Power Expander
1 - 5865 LED Fire Annunciator
1 - 5824 Parallel/Serial Interface
The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
5860 Current Draw

= 2 x .100 amps

= .200 amps

5895XL Current Draw

= 1 x .010 amps

= .010 amps

5865 Current Draw

= 1 x .200 amps

= .200 amps

5824 Current Draw

= 1 x .040 amps

= .040 amps

Total Worst Case Current Draw

= .450 amps

Using this value, and referring to the Wiring Distance table, it can be found that the available
options are:
370 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
938 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
1493 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire

LED Wiring

There are four 12-pin connectors on the 5880 board for connecting LEDs. Each LED gets its
power from Pin 11. Internal resistors are sized so that there is approximately 10 mA of current
for each LED, no series resistors are required. LED outputs can be mapped to output circuits.
See Section 6 for programming details.
Wire the LEDs as shown in Figure 4-22.
On connector P1, Pin 12 is an open collector output for controlling a PZT. If used, the 5880
PZT will match the PZT pattern of the on-board (or 5860) annunciator.
Note: The circuit connected to “Open Collector Output” (last pin on P1) must be current limited so that no more
than 100 mA of current is allowed to flow into the open collector transistor.

4.12.5 Auxiliary Power Installation
Flexput Circuits 1-6 on the control panel can be used as auxiliary power circuits (see also
Section 5.9.5). The three types of auxiliary power available are:
•

Door Holder (see section 4.12.5.1)

•

Constant (see section 4.12.5.2)

•

Resettable Power (see section 4.12.5.3)

Auxiliary power circuits are power limited. Each circuit can source up to 3A (total current for
all Flexput circuits must not exceed 5A).
To install an auxiliary power circuit:
1. Wire the Flexput circuit(s) that will be used for auxiliary power. See Figure 4-38 for location of Flexput circuits.
2. Configure the auxiliary power output through programming (see section 7.4).

Figure 4-38 Flexput Circuit Location

4.12.5.1 Door Holder Power
Door holder power is intended for fire door applications. When there are no alarms in the
system and the panel has AC power, door holder circuits have 24-volt power present at their
terminals. Any alarm will cause power to disconnect. Power will be re-applied when the
system is reset. If AC power is off for more than 15 seconds, the auxiliary door holder power
will be disconnected to conserve the battery backup. When AC power is restored, power is
immediately restored to the door holder circuits.
Use a UL listed door holder ESL DHX-1224, for this application.

4.12.5.2 Constant Power
Use constant power for applications that require a constant auxiliary power source. Power is
always present at Constant circuits.

Control Panel Installation

4.12.5.3 Resettable Power
Resettable power is typically used to power beam detectors, flame detectors and conventional
4-wire smoke detectors. For circuits selected as Resettable, 24-volt power is always present at
the terminals unless a system reset occurs. If a system reset occurs, power is disconnected
from the terminals for 30 seconds, then re-applied.

4.13 On-Board Relays (Conventional)
The control panel has two built-in programmable relays and a built-in trouble relay. All relays
are Form C rated at 2.5 A @ 24 VDC.

Figure 4-39 Location of Conventional Relay Circuits

4.13.1 Trouble Relay
The control panel has a dedicated Form C trouble relay built into terminals 30-32. The relay
provides a normally open and a normally closed contact. The trouble relay will deactivate
under any trouble condition.
Note: The N.C. contact is the relay contact that is closed when the panel has power and there are no trouble conditions.

4.13.2 Programmable Relays
The control panel has two Form C programmable relays built into terminals 24-29. Each relay
provides a normally open and a normally closed contact.
To install one or two programmable relays, follow these steps.
1. Wire Relay 1 and/or Relay 2 as needed for your application. See Figure 4-39 for the location of the relay terminals.
2. Configure the relay through programming (see section 7.4).

4.15.2 City Box Connection
This section describes how to connect the control panel to a municipal fire alarm box or “city
box” as required by NFPA 72 Auxiliary Protected Fire Alarm systems for fire alarm service.
The city (master) box is an enclosure that contains a manually operated transmitter used to
send an alarm to the municipal communication center which houses the central operating part
of the fire alarm system.
The maximum coil and wire resistance (combined) must not exceed 30 ohms.
To install the 5220 for city box connection:
1. Use one of the knockouts on the right side of the control panel to connect the 5220 using a
short piece of conduit (must not exceed 20 feet in length).
2. Wire the 5220 to the control panel as shown in Figure 4-42. This drawing also shows how
to connect the city box coil to terminals 3 and 4 on the 5220. Do not install an EOL resistor in the terminals of the Flexput circuit used for this application.
3. Connect earth ground wire to the 5220 chassis with mounting screw.
4. Program the Flexput circuit used as a notification circuit, continuous and non-silencing.
Refer to Section 7.4.1 for zone grouping and mapping.
It is not possible to reset the remote indication until you clear the condition and reset the
control panel.

4.15.3 NFPA 72 Polarity Reversal
When the 5220 is wired and programmed for polarity reversal, it reports alarm and trouble
events to a remote site. Alarms will override trouble conditions and it will not be possible to
reset the remote indicator until the condition is cleared and the control panel is reset.
If an alarm condition occurs, the alarm relay will close, overriding the trouble condition.
To install the 5220 for polarity reversal, follow the steps below:
1. Locate the knockout on the right side of the control panel cabinet to connect the 5220
using a short piece of conduit (must not exceed 20 feet in length).
2. Wire the 5220 to the control panel using the four-wire pigtail provided as shown in Figure
4-43. This diagram also shows how to connect the 5220 to the remote indicator. Do not
install an EOL resistor in the terminals of the Flexput circuit used for this application.
3. Connect earth ground wire to the 5220 chassis with mounting screw.
4. Program the Flexput circuit used as a notification circuit, continuous and non-silencing.
Refer to Section 7.4.1 for zone grouping and mapping.
5. If necessary, adjust loop current using the potentiometer (R10) on the 5220 board (see Figure 4-41). Normal loop current is 2-to-8 mA with a 1k ohm remote station receiving unit.
Maximum loop resistance is 3k ohm.

Section 6
Programming Overview
This section of the manual is intended to give you an overview of the programming process.
Please read this section of the manual carefully, especially if you are programming the control
panel for the first time.
The JumpStart feature automates many programming tasks and selects default options for the
system. You will run JumpStart at least once when you are installing the system. See Section
6.1 for details. After you run JumpStart, you may need to do some additional programming
depending on your installation. Section 7 of this manual cover manual programmable options
in detail.
Programming the panel can be thought of as a three part process. You must program:
•

System options. These are options that affect general operation of the panel (see Section
7.5 for details).

•

Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control detection
behavior of devices (see Section 7.4 for details).

•

Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output
groups and mapping output circuits to output groups (see Section 7.4 for details).

6.1

JumpStart Autoprogramming

The JumpStart feature allows for faster system setup. When you run JumpStart (immediately
after addressing SLC devices), the system scans devices on all SLC loops and determines
device type (for example, ionization smoke detector or heat sensor) and selects some system
options based on the device type. This saves the installer from having to program options for
each device. Depending on the application, the installer may need to make some changes after
JumpStart completes.
See Section 6.1.3 for complete details about running JumpStart.
IMPORTANT
JumpStart is intended to be run one time only, immediately after SLC devices have been addressed and connected.
JumpStart will reset manually all programmed options to default settings. Do not run JumpStart after you have
configured the system.

151137

6-1

IntelliKnight 5820XL Installation Manual

6.1.1

Input Points

JumpStart will determine the number and type of input points (detectors or contact monitor
modules) on each SLC loop. JumpStart assigns the correct detector type (heat, ionization or
photoelectric), so the installer does not need to edit device type for detectors. Any contact
monitor modules on the system will be assigned type "Manual Pull." The installer will need to
manually change the switch type if manual pull is not correct.
JumpStart creates one zone (Zone 1) and assigns all input points to Zone 1. Zone 1 is mapped
to Output Group 1. After JumpStart completes, you can re-map to configure a multiple zone/
output group system (see Section 7.2.1.3). For a general explanation of mapping, see Section
6.2.

6.1.2

Output Points

JumpStart creates three output groups and assigns output circuits as follows:
Circuits 1-6:
Configured as Notification and assigned to Group 1. JumpStart automatically programs Zone
1 to activate Group 1 using constant on output.
Circuit 7 (Relay 1):
Assigned to Group 249. JumpStart automatically programs Zone 1 to activate Group 249
using constant on output when a supervisory condition occurs.
Circuit 8 (Relay 2):
Assigned to Group 250. JumpStart automatically programs Zone 1 to activate Group 250
using constant on output when an alarm occurs.
Addressable output points (Relay modules):
All addressable relay devices will be configured as "Output Pt" (general purpose output point)
and assigned to Group 1.
Note: Relay output is constant even if the zone activating the relay is programmed with an output pattern.

6.1.3

Running JumpStart

Run JumpStart immediately after you have addressed and connected all input devices
(detectors, pull stations, and so on) and output devices (notification appliances, relays, and so
on).
Note: If you need to install a few devices after you have run JumpStart, you can install them manually. Follow
instructions in Section 8 for configuration.

To run JumpStart, follow these steps.
1. You must be in the Installer Menu to run JumpStart. If you are not, enter the Installer
Code.
2. Press

Mapping Overview

This section of the manual is an overview of mapping. Details about how to select mapping
options appear in the appropriate subsections in Section 7.
Mapping is an important concept with the control panel. In general terms, mapping is
assigning or linking events to outputs that should activate when events occur. You do this by
assigning input points to input zones, output points to output groups and then linking or
mapping zones and output groups.
Figure 6-1 is a brief overview of the concept of mapping. The next several pages of the
manual show these subjects in detail.

6.2.1

Input Point Mapping

Input points are assigned to input zones. Any input point can be assigned to any input zone.
(Input points can be assigned to one zone only. An input point can be designated as "Unused,"
which means it has not been assigned to a zone.)

Zone Event Mapping

There are 8 types of events that can occur in zones (see below). For each event type, you can
activate up to 8 output groups and patterns. If it is necessary to map to more than 8 output
groups, an output group template may be used (see Section 7.3.5 for information on output
group templates). Event types are:
•

Manual Pull Alarm

•

Water Flow Alarm

•

Detector Alarm (heat or smoke detectors)

•

Aux 1 and Aux 2 Alarm (user-specified alarm types)

•

Pre-alarm

•

Supervisory

Mapping LED Points

Figure 6-6 is a simple example showing how LED points are mapped to zones and output
groups. Typically you would create two output groups for each zone, one for alarms and one
for troubles. (LED points are available when Models 5865-3/4 and/or 5880 are used with the
system.)

SK Analog Fire System Editor 5590

There are two ways to program the control panel. One way is to program directly from an
annunciator, either the on-board annunciator or a Model 5860 Remote Annunciator.
Annunciator programming is explained in Section 6.4.
The other method for programming is through the SK Analog Fire System Editor 5590. The
5590 is an optional software package that allows you to easily program the control panel using
a Windows-based computer and a *modem (not sold by Silent Knight). The software works in
the following way. First you use the software to program options for the panel, saving the
options in a file. You can then download the file to the panel. The software includes an on-line
help system and a manual. See the manual (P/N 151004) for more information.
*

See Section 1.3 for a list of modems that have been tested for compatibility with the control panel and the SK
Analog Fire System Editor 5590.

Programming
This section of the manual manually program the control panel. Each subsection discusses
these menu options in detail. All options described in this section can be performed using the
SK Analog Fire System Editor 5590.
Important!
Before any customized programming is done, JumpStart should be run first. After
JumpStart is run, thoroughly test the system. The reason the system should be tested
after JumpStart is because Jumpstart automatically programs the system, searching for
and configuring all SLC and SBUS devices it finds. JumpStart allows you to confirm
the integrity of the installation prior to performing any custom programming. After
determining that the hardware is properly installed, custom programming can be
performed. Refer to Section 6.

&RXQW

One Count (No Delay). When this option is enabled, an alarm occurs
immediately when a single device of any of the following types goes into alarm:
detector, manual pull, water flow, Aux1 or Aux2. This is considered the most
typical operation and is the default for all zones.
When this type of alarm delay is used, two or more detectors within the zone
must go into alarm in order for the zone to report an alarm. Switches of type
manual pull, water flow, Aux1 and Aux2 are an exception; they will cause an
alarm when only one switch is in alarm.

&RXQW

$ODUP 9HU

When a single detector is in alarm in a 2-Count zone, the system enters a
prealarm condition. In a prealarm condition, the touchpad PZT beeps and the
annunciator display indicates that a prealarm has occurred. If the zone has been
mapped to an output group for the prealarm event, the output group will
activate. The prealarm will not be reported to the central station.
Alarm verification is an optional false alarm prevention feature that verifies an
alarm condition by resetting the smoke detector. If the alarm condition still
exists by the time the reset cycle has completed, the detector will go into alarm.
If the detector is no longer in alarm, no report will go to the central station. The
alarm verification sequence is ignored if the zone is already in alarm.
This option is intended to be used with an acknowledge switch. An alarm is
delayed for 15 seconds, giving on-site personnel a chance to investigate the
alarm. If the acknowledge switch is not activated within 15 seconds, an alarm
occurs automatically.
If this option is enabled for a zone, the zone will respond to an alarm condition
as follows:
• The zone will not go into alarm for 15 seconds to allow an on-site operator
to activate the acknowledge switch.

3$6

• If the operator does not press the acknowledge switch within 15 seconds,
the zone will go into alarm.
• If the operator presses the acknowledge switch within 15 seconds, a 180second time-frame will begin counting down. This time-frame allows the
operator to investigate the cause of the alarm.
If the operator performs a reset within 180 seconds, the alarm will not
occur.
If the operator does not perform a reset within 180 seconds, an alarm will
occur automatically.

7.2.1.3 Zone Outputs
Output groups and cadence patterns are mapped to events. They can be programmed to output
when an event occurs in a zone. Some system trouble events can be mapped for the entire
system. Section 6.2 of this manual contains a general explanation of mapping. The following
sections explain how to select mapping options.
Mapping to Zone Events
Eight types of events can occur in zones. For each event type, you can activate up to 8 output
groups or output group template, specifying a pattern for each.
Event types are:

Example or Zone Mapping:
Suppose you want to program Zone 1 so that:
•

Any alarm (detector, water flow or manual pull) would activate Output Group 1 using the
ANSI cadence pattern.

•

Manual pull alarm would activate Output Group 3 using constant output.

•

Troubles would activate Output Group 2 using the zone-coded cadence pattern.

To accomplish this you need to access the screen for each event and then select your output
groups. Figure 7-4 shows how you would program this application.

Silenceable. The output group can be silenced through the S IL E N C E key.

NON-SIL

Not silenceable. The output group cannot be silenced. Activation of the S IL E N C E key will be
ignored for this output group.

AUT UNSIL

Auto Unsilenced. If this option is selected, the output group can be silenced for a programmed timeframe. If the condition that caused the output to activate has not cleared during the time-frame, the
output reactivates. If you select this option, select the time-frame in the DLY: field. Range is 00-60
minutes. (See Figure 7-8 for location of field.)

SIL-INHIB

Timed Silence after Inhibit. If this option is selected, the output group must be audible for a
programmed number of minutes before it can be silenced. If the condition that caused the output to
activate has not cleared during the time-frame, the output can be silenced. If you select this option,
select the timeframe in the DLY: field. Range is 00-60 minutes. (See Figure 7-8 for location of
field.)

SHUT-DOWN

If this option is selected, the output group will automatically silence (shut down) after the
programmed time period. If you select this option, select the timeframe in the DLY: field. Range is
00-60 minutes. (See Figure 7-8 for location of field.)

Manual Pull Activation. Select Yes if you want this group to activate for all manual pull
alarms that occur in the system.
Note: Even though manual pull switches are assigned to zones, activation selected
here for manual pull will override zone-programmed activation.

Fire Drill

Fire Drill Activation. Select Yes if you want this group to activate for fire drills.

Sys Aux1 and Sys Aux2

Select Yes if you want this output group to activate for system-wide Aux1 and Aux2
alarms.
(Aux 1 and Aux 2 alarm types are for auxiliary alarm conditions. For example, you
might want to use Aux 1 to provide a unique alarm type and sound for a severe weather
condition like a tornado.)

Ignore Global Cad

Ignore Global Cadence. If you want to create an output group that can never be
overridden, you can select Yes for this option. Selecting No means that system-wide
events that have been assigned an output pattern could override the pattern for the
output group.
For example, suppose you had assigned a set of strobes to Output Group 3. You would
never want these strobes to output in a pattern under any circumstances. To make sure
this happens, select Yes for Ignore Global Cadence for Output Group 3.

Edit Output Group Templates

Some installations may require that zones be mapped to more than 8 output groups. With
output group templates you can combine one or all output groups into one template, which can
be used when the same combination of outputs are used for several zones.
For example, lets say an installation has five zones (See Table 7-5). The check mark indicates
what output groups are mapped to each zone. You will notice that every zone is mapped to
outputs 1 and 2. As an alternative you can create a template that combines output group 1 and
2 as one choice.

This can be done by creating a template which includes output groups 1 and 2. Then you can

eight output groups.

System Options

This section of the manual explains how to customize software options that affect general
operation of the system. This includes such items as: AC loss hours, system clock options,
holidays schedule, telephone and reporting account options. Refer to each individual
subsection for complete instructions.

7.5.1

Reporting Account

Up to four reporting accounts can be used with the control panel. Events in accounts are
reported by zone.
Each account is assigned an up-to-6-digit account number. Each account is also assigned a
unique ID (1-4) which determines the priority for reporting ("1" has the highest priority; "4"
has the lowest).
Disable any unused accounts by selecting "N" for all events (see Figure 7-11, next page). If
the system is local only (does not connect to a central station), disable all events for all four
reporting accounts.
Options for each account can be customized. These options appear on the Reporting Accounts
screen. Some related options appear on the Phone Lines screen (see Section 7.5.2).
To access the Reporting Accounts screen:

MUST report events in this family to this account.
Selecting Must makes an account a primary reporting account. The dialer will try to report the event to
the primary account until it exceeds the "Switch Attempts" value. When the dialer has exceeded the
Switch Attempt retry limit, it will switch to a backup account (a "Can Report" or "Yes" account, see
below). If the dialer cannot report the event to any of the backup accounts, it will return to the primary
account and repeat the process until it exceeds the "Fail Attempts" value. If the Fail Attempts limit is
exceeded, an Account Trouble condition is generated and a local trouble will sound.

Y(es)

Can Report. Selecting Y makes this a backup account for this event family. The dialer will report to this
account only if it was previously unable to report the event to a Must account.

N(o)

No events in this family will ever be reported to this account.

Fire drill and system auxiliary alarm events can have special cadence patterns to distinguish
them from other types of alarms. See Section 7.2.1.4 for available cadence patterns.
A typical use of the System Aux1 and Aux2 patterns is to distinguish fire emergencies from
other types of emergencies (such as a tornado or other weather condition). For example, you
could use one pattern for fire drills and a different pattern for a tornado condition. The System
Aux1 and Aux2 alarms would be triggered by a system-wide switch.

8.4.10

Check Detector Sensitivity Through Point Status

The control panel constantly monitors smoke detectors to ensure that sensitivity levels are in
compliance with NFPA 72.
If sensitivity for a detector is not in compliance, the panel goes into trouble, generating a CAL
TRBLE condition. A detector enters a CAL MAINT state to indicate that it is approaching an
out of compliance condition (but is currently still in compliance).
When a CAL TRBLE condition occurs, the central station receives a detector trouble report
(“373” + Zone # for Contact ID format; “FT” + Zone # in SIA format).
To check sensitivity for an individual detector, follow the steps below. Section 8.4.17
provides instructions for printing the status of all detectors in the system.

Communicating with a Remote Computer

An installer at the panel site can initiate communications between the panel and a computer
running the SK Analog Fire System Editor 5590. You can use this feature to upload a panel
configuration. For example, if you have made programming changes to an installation on site
using an annunciator, you can send your changes to the computer, so that the central station
will have the latest data about the installation. Refer to the 5590 manual (P/N 151004) for
complete details about communication hardware set-up. To initiate communication, follow
the steps below.
Important!
To ensure proper downloading, make sure that the SK Analog Fire System Editor’s revision is equal to or
greater than the software revision of the control panel. See Section 8.4.14.

1. From the Installer Main Menu, select

9

for Up/Download.

2. From the next screen that displays, select the communication device. Options are:
1 = Internal Modem

If you select this option, you will use the panel’s built-in modem to call
the panel.

2 = RS232 connection

If you select this option, the panel and a computer are both on-site
connected via a 9-pin straight-through serial cable.

3. If you are using the panel’s internal modem to communicate, you will be prompted to
enter a phone number. If you are communicating via the RS232 connection, a phone number is not needed and this step will be skipped.

Section 10
Testing and Troubleshooting
10.1 Troubleshooting
This section of the manual offers suggestions for troubleshooting hardware problems. Please
read this section if you encounter a problem when installing the control panel. If these
suggestions do not solve your problem or if you encounter a problem that is not listed here,
contact Silent Knight Technical Support at 800-328-0103 for assistance.

10.2 Common Problems
Problem

Possible Cause / Suggested Actions

Trouble message "DBL ADDR" (Double
Address) displays on LCD.

An address has been assigned to more than one detector. Correct the address
following the procedure described in Section 5.10.

Auxiliary power or notification circuits
have incorrect polarity.

Correct polarity. For notification and auxiliary power circuits: When in alarm
or powered, terminals labeled "X" are positive, terminals labeled "O" are
negative.

SLC devices are not being recognized
(trouble message "Missing" displays).

Check hardware connections.
If devices are physically connected, make sure wiring is correct (see Section
5.3). For the main panel, the positive side of device must be connected to
terminal 34; the negative side must be connected to Terminal 33. For 5815XL
devices, make sure the device connects to the 5815XL via the SLC OUT
terminals.
There can be only one SLC loop on the main panel and on each 5815XL
module. Do not connect devices to terminals labeled SLC IN.
Make sure SLC devices have been addressed properly following the
procedure described in Section 5.10.
For contact monitor modules, which are addressed using dipswitches, the
dipswitch must be set to the correct address before power is applied to the
SLC loop. If this procedure is not followed, the device will have an incorrect
address.
Make sure correct polarity has been observed for SLC device wiring. See
Section 5.3.

IntelliKnight 5820XL Installation Manual

Problem
SLC devices are not being recognized
(trouble message "Missing" displays on
the annunciator).

Possible Cause / Suggested Actions
Check that SLC loop impedance is within the required range.
To measure impedance, use the following procedure.
1. Disconnect both wires from the terminal block at the panel (SLC devices
can remain connected).
2. Measure the impedance from positive to negative and from negative to
positive. Both measurements should be greater than 500 K ohms. If the
installation uses T-taps, test each T-tap individually.
3. Temporarily connect the positive wire to the negative wire of the SLC
loop at the point farthest from the panel (SLC devices can remain connected).
4. Measure the impedance from positive to negative and from negative to
positive. Both measurements must be less than 50 ohms.

The panel indicates a ground fault trouble An earth ground fault occurs when the panel senses an unexpected flow of
condition (trouble message "GROUND
current from one or more of its terminals to the earth connection (Terminal 2).
FAULT" displays).
Isolate the wiring that is causing the fault by removing wiring connections
one at a time until the earth fault is no longer present. Pause at least five
seconds after removing a wire before removing the next one.
The panel will also go into ground fault if a computer is connected to the
panel via a serial cable attached to the panel’s 9-pin connector. This is a
correct method for on-site communication between a panel and a computer.
Ignore the ground fault message in this case. The trouble will clear
automatically when you disconnect the computer from the cable
5815XL module that has been physically
connected to the panel but is not being
recognized.

Check the status of the 5815XL green LED. If it flashes in the pattern .5 sec
on / .5 sec. off, it is likely that the 5815XL has not been added to the system
through programming. JumpStart will add any 5815XLs connected to the
panel. If you have already run JumpStart, 5815XLs can be added manually
(see Section 4.10).
Check that the correct ID for the 5815XL module has been set through the
dipswitches. Assign ID#1 to the first 5815XL and ID#2 to the second
5815XL. See Section 4.10.1 for complete details.
If the wiring between the 5815XL and the panel is correct, measure the
voltage from 5815XL Terminal (+) to Terminal (-). Voltage should be in the
range 27.2-27.4V when AC power is present.
If the green LED is not flashing, the likely cause is incorrect wiring from
between the 5815XL and the panel. See Section 4.6.1 for wiring details.
