Installation Procedure
Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation with long-term reliability:
Installation Precautions - Adherence to the following will aid in problem-free installation
with long-term reliability: WARNING - Several different sources of power can be connected
to the fire alarm control panel. Disconnect all sources of power before servicing. Control unit
and associated equipment may be damaged by removing and/or inserting cards, modules, or
interconnecting cables while the unit is energized. Do not attempt to install, service, or operate
this unit until manuals are read and understood. CAUTION - System Re-acceptance Test after
Software Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in
accordance with NFPA 72 after any programming operation or change in site-specific
software. Re-acceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion of system
components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring. All
components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a
change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that other operations are not inadvertently
affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a
maximum of 50 devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified. This
system meets NFPA requirements for operation within the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or
humidity within the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) noncondensing. However, the useful
life of the system's standby batteries and the electronic components may be adversely affected
by extreme temperature ranges and humidity. Therefore, it is recommended that this system
and its peripherals be installed in an environment with a normal room temperature of 15-27º
C/60-80º F. Verify that wire sizes are adequate for all initiating and indicating device loops.
Most devices cannot tolerate more than a 10% I.R. drop from the specified device voltage.
Like all solid state electronic devices, this system may operate erratically or can be damaged
when subjected to lightning induced transients. Although no system is completely immune
from lightning transients and interference, proper grounding will reduce susceptibility.
Overhead or outside aerial wiring is not recommended, due to an increased susceptibility to
nearby lightning strikes. Consult with the Technical Services Department if any problems are
anticipated or encountered. Disconnect AC power and batteries prior to removing or
inserting circuit boards. Failure to do so can damage circuits. Remove all electronic
assemblies prior to any drilling, filing, reaming, or punching of the enclosure. When possible,
make all cable entries from the sides or rear. Before making modifications, verify that they
will not interfere with battery, transformer, or printed circuit board location. Do not tighten
screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Over-tightening may damage threads, resulting in
reduced terminal contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal. Silent Knight
fire alarm control panels contain static-sensitive components. Always ground yourself with a
proper wrist strap before handling any circuits so that static charges are removed from the
body. Use static suppressive packaging to protect electronic assemblies removed from the
unit.
Follow the instructions in the installation, operating, and programming manuals. These
instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment.

Installation Manual

FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.
While installing a fire alarm system may make lower insurance rates possible, it is not a
substitute for fire insurance! An automatic fire alarm system - typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull stations, audible warning devices, and a fire alarm
control with remote notification capability - can provide early warning of a developing fire.
Such a system, however, does not assure protection against property damage or loss of life
resulting from a fire. Any fire alarm system may fail for a variety of reasons: Smoke
detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in
walls, or roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors also may not sense a fire
on another level or floor of a building. A second floor detector, for example, may not sense a
first floor or basement fire. Furthermore, all types of smoke detectors, including ionization
and photoelectric types, have sensing limitations. No type of smoke detector can sense every
kind of fire caused by carelessness and safety hazards like smoking in bed, violent explosions,
escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, overloaded electrical circuits, children
playing with matches, or arson.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be installed in the same room as the control panel and
in rooms used by the system for the connection of alarm transmission wiring,
communications, signaling, and/or power. If detectors are not so located, a developing fire
may damage the alarm system, crippling its ability to report a fire. Audible warning devices
such as bells may not alert people if these devices are located on the other side of closed or
partly open doors or are located on another floor of a building. A fire alarm system will not
operate without any electrical power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time. Rate-of-Rise heat detectors may be subject to reduced
sensitivity over time. For this reason, the rate-of-rise feature of each detector should be tested
at least once per year by a qualified fire protection specialist. Equipment used in the system
may not be technically compatible with the control. It is essential to use only equipment listed
for service with your control panel. Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a
premise to a central monitoring station may be out of service or temporarily disabled. The
most common cause of fire alarm malfunctions, however, is inadequate maintenance. All
devices and system wiring should be tested and maintained by professional fire alarm
installers following written procedures supplied with each device. System inspection and
testing should be scheduled monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes.
Adequate written records of all inspections should be kept.

Introduction

Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat detectors be located throughout a protected
premise following the recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection
Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer’s recommendations, State and local codes,
and the recommendations contained in Guide for the Proper Use of System Smoke Detectors,
which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United States government) indicated that
smoke detectors may not go off or give early warning in as many as 35% of all fires. While
fire alarm systems are designed to provide warning against fire, they do not guarantee warning
or protection against fire. A fire alarm system may not provide timely or adequate warning, or
simply may not function, for a variety of reasons. For example:
•

Particles of combustion or smoke from a developing fire may not reach the sensing
chambers of smoke detectors because:
Barriers such as closed or partially closed doors, walls, or chimneys may inhibit particle or
smoke flow.
Smoke particles may become cold, stratify, and not reach the ceiling or upper walls where
detectors are located.
Smoke particles may be blown away from detectors by air outlets
Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.

In general, smoke detectors on one level of a structure cannot be expected to sense fires
developing on another level.
•

The amount of smoke present may be insufficient to alarm smoke detectors. Smoke
detectors are designed to alarm at various levels of smoke density. If such density levels
are not created by a developing fire at the location of detectors, the detectors will not go
into alarm.

•

Smoke detectors, even when working properly, have sensing limitations. Detectors that
have photoelectronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming
fires, which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizing-type sensing chambers
tend to detect fast flaming fires better than smoldering fires. Because fires develop in
different ways and are often unpredictable in their growth, neither type of detector is
necessarily best and a given type of detector may not provide adequate warning of a fire.

•

Smoke detectors are subject to false alarms and nuisance alarms and may have been
disconnected by users. For example, a smoke detector located in or near a kitchen may go
into nuisance alarm during normal operation of kitchen appliances. In addition, dusty or
steamy environments may cause a smoke detector to falsely alarm. If the location of a
smoke detector causes an abundance of false alarms or nuisance alarms, do not disconnect
the smoke detector; call a professional to analyze the situation and recommend a solution.

•

Smoke detectors cannot be expected to provide adequate warning of fires caused by arson,
children playing with matches (especially within bedrooms), smoking in bed, violent
explosions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).

151209

1-5

IntelliKnight 5820XL Installation Manual

•

Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and are designed to alarm only when
heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined rate or reaches a predetermined level.
Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.

•

Warning devices (including horns, sirens, and bells) may not alert people or wake up
sleepers who are located on the other side of closed or partially open doors. A warning
device that activates on a different floor or level of a dwelling or structure is less likely to
awaken or alert people. Even persons who are awake may not notice the warning if the
alarm is muffled by noise from a stereo, radio, air conditioner or other appliance, or by
passing traffic. Audible warning devices may not alert the hearing-impaired (strobes or
other devices should be provided to warn these people). Any warning device may fail to
alert people with a disability, deep sleepers, people who have recently used alcohol or
drugs, or people on medication or sleeping pills.
Please note that:
i) Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in people with conditions
such as epilepsy.
ii) Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm signal, do not
respond or comprehend the meaning of the signal. It is the property owner’s responsibility to conduct fire drills and other training exercises to make people aware of fire
alarm signals and instruct on the proper reaction to alarm signals.
iii) In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can cause temporary or permanent
hearing loss.

•

Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central station may
be out of service or temporarily out of service. For added protection against telephone line
failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.

•

System components, though designed to last many years, can fail at any time. As a
precautionary measure, it is recommended that smoke detectors be checked, maintained,
and replaced per manufacturer’s recommendations.

•

System components will not work without electrical power. If system batteries are not
serviced or replaced regularly, they may not provide battery backup when AC power fails.

•

Environments with high air velocity or that are dusty or dirty require more frequent
maintenance.

In general, fire alarm systems and devices will not work without power and will not function
properly unless they are maintained and tested regularly.
While installing a fire alarm system may make the owner eligible for a lower insurance rate,
an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Property owners should continue to act
prudently in protecting the premises and the people in their premises and should properly
insure life and property and buy sufficient amounts of liability insurance to meet their needs.

Introduction

Requirements and recommendations for proper use of fire alarm systems including smoke detectors and other fire alarm devices:
Early fire detection is best achieved by the installation and maintenance of fire detection
equipment in all rooms and areas of the house or building in accordance with the requirements
and recommendations of the current edition of the National Fire Protection Association
Standard 72, National Fire Alarm Code (NFPA 72), the manufacturer’s recommendations,
State and local codes and the recommendations contained in Guide for the Proper Use of
System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge to all installing dealers. For
specific requirements, check with the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (ex. Fire Chief) for
fire protection systems.
Requirements and Recommendations include:
•

Smoke Detectors shall be installed in sleeping rooms in new construction and it is
recommended that they shall also be installed in sleeping rooms in existing construction.

•

It is recommended that more than one smoke detector shall be installed in a hallway if it is
more than 30 feet long.

•

It is recommended that there shall never be less then two smoke detectors per apartment or
residence.

•

It is recommended that smoke detectors be located in any room where an alarm control is
located, or in any room where alarm control connections to an AC source or phone lines
are made. If detectors are not so located, a fire within the room could prevent the control
from reporting a fire.

•

All fire alarm systems require notification devices, including sirens, bells, horns, and/or
strobes. In residential applications, each automatic alarm initiating device when activated
shall cause the operation of an alarm notification device that shall be clearly audible in all
bedrooms over ambient or background noise levels (at least 15dB above noise) with all
intervening doors closed.

•

It is recommended that a smoke detector with an integral sounder (smoke alarm) be
located in every bedroom and an additional notification device be located on each level of
a residence.

•

To keep your fire alarm system in excellent working order, ongoing maintenance is
required per the manufacturer’s recommendations and UL and NFPA standards. At a
minimum the requirements of Chapter 7 of NFPA 72 shall be followed. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer’s representative.
Maintenance should be performed annually by authorized personnel only.

•

The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning when a fire occurs is
inadequate maintenance. As such, the alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure
all sensors and transmitters are working properly.

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

Current Draw Worksheet Requirements

The following steps must be taken when determining 5820XL current draw and standby
battery requirements.
1. You will use the Current Draw Worksheet to determine current draw and standby battery
requirements. Use Table 3-1 if installing SK SLC Devices and Table 3-2 if installing
Hochiki SLC Devices. 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 the Current Draw Worksheet on 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 6.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the 5820XL control panel.
If the current is above 6.0 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as
the Silent Knight 5495 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 5495 or the 5895XL manuals so you do
not exceed their power requirements.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in the appropriate Current Draw Worksheet for determining battery size requirements.

1. Total does not include isolator devices or accessory bases.
3. If using door holders, you do not need to consider door holder current for alarm/battery standby, because power is
removed during that time. However, during normal operation, door holders draw current and must be included in the
6.0A total current that can be drawn from the panel.
4. Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
5. SK-Beam-T draws a maximum of 500mA from Auxiliary power only when the test feature is used. this should be
considered when determining auxiliary power capacity but not calculated into current requirements for day to day
operation.
6. The SK-Duct housing contains a vacant mount for a SK-Relay (sold separately). Current draw for the SK-Relay is
calculated by increasing the SK-Relay row of the calculation sheet by one for each SK-Relay used with a SK-Duct.

Section 4
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

Preventing Water Damage

Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the
conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause
water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering
the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under warranty.

4.1.2

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.

AC Connection

At installation, connect the AC terminals to the power source as shown in Figure 4-1. It may
be necessary for a professional electrician to make this connection.
The AC terminals are rated at 120 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, 2.5A.

Battery Connection

The control panel battery charge capacity is 7.0 to 35 AH. Use 12V batteries of the same AH
rating. Determine the correct AH rating as per your current load calculation (see Section 3.6).
Wire batteries in series to produce a 24-volt equivalent. Do not parallel batteries to increase
the AH rating. It is recommended that you replace batteries every five years.

RBB Accessory Cabinet

The Model RBB 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 RBB cabinet
holds batteries up to the 35 AH size. The RBB dimensions are 16" W x 10" H x 6" D (40.64
cm W x 25.4 cm H x 15.24 cm D).

4.3.1.1 Installing the RBB 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 RBB cabinet to the plywood.

•

If using the battery cable extenders provided (P/N 140643), mount the RBB 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.

Note: Refer to Table 3-2 for maximum number of each type of device that can be used per system.

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 Serial/Parallel Interface Module
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.

4.13 Flexputs™ I/O Circuits
The six Flexput™ circuits are an innovative and versatile feature of the control panel. They
can be used as: Class A or B notification circuits, Class A or B initiation circuits (either 2 or 4
wire detectors), or as auxiliary power (resettable, continuous, or door holder).
The polarity of the Flexput terminals differs depending on whether the circuit is programmed
as an input or and output circuit. If the circuit is programmed as an input circuit (for a detector
or normally open contact) the X terminal is negative and O terminal is positive. If the circuit is
programmed as an output circuit (Aux power or NAC) then the X terminal is positive and the
O terminal is negative.

Control Panel Installation

4.13.5 Auxiliary Power Installation
Flexput Circuits 1-6 on the control panel can be used as auxiliary power circuits. The three
types of auxiliary power available are:
•

Door Holder (see Section 4.13.5.1)

•

Constant (see Section 4.13.5.2)

•

Resettable Power (see Section 4.13.5.3)

Auxiliary power circuits are power limited. Each circuit can source up to 3A (total current for
all Flexput circuits must not exceed 6.0 A).
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 7.6).

Figure 4-38 Flexput Circuit Location

4.13.5.1 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.

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

151209

4-39

IntelliKnight 5820XL Installation Manual

4.13.5.3 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.

4.14 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

4.14.1 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.

4.14.2 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 7.6).

the ONES rotary dial to set the ones place in a one or two digit number, and use the TENS
rotary dial to set the tens place in a two digit number.
SK device addresses are handled differently than Hochiki device addresses. The control panel
recognizes when an SK detector or SK module is installed. For this reason, SK detectors can
be assigned any unique address from 1 to 99, and SK modules can be assigned any unique
address from 1 to 99. Unlike Hochiki detectors and modules which share addresses 1 through
99, there can be an SK detector using address 1 and an SK module using address 1. 0 is an
invalid address.
Example 1: To select device address 1, turn the ONES rotary dial to 1 and the TENS rotary
dial to 0 as shown in Figure 5-5.
Example 2: To select device address 42, turn the ONES rotary dial to 2 and the TENS rotary
dial to 4 as show in Figure 5-5.

All dials labeled for ONES
or TENS position.

Example 1: Device Set to 01.

Example 2: Device Set to 42.

ENTER

.

5. Select “Yes” by pressing the
up arrow, then press ENTER . (The panel will go into
trouble at this point. You can use the SILENCE key to stop the PZT. The trouble will clear
automatically when the panel re initializes when you finish programming.)
6. When the wait message clears, the following options display:
1

for Read Address. Use to read (or check) a single detector’s address.

2

for Write Address. Use to program a single detector’s address.

3

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 covers 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
7.7 for details).

•

Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control detection
behavior of devices (see Section 7.6 for details).

•

Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output
groups and mapping output circuits to output groups (see Section 7.6 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 all manually programmed options to default settings. Do not run JumpStart after you have
configured the system.

151209

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 7.4.1.3). 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, NAC Modules, Sounder Bases, Relay Bases):
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.

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.

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 7.5.5 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)

•

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.)

Programming Using the 5660 Silent Knight
Software Suite

You can use the 5660 Silent Knight Software Suite (SKSS) to program the control panel
onsite or remotely. SKSS is an optional software package that lets you easily program the
control panel using a Windows-based computer and a modem* (not sold by Silent Knight).
When using SKSS, you can set up the programming options for the panel, save the options in
a file, then download the file to the panel. You connect to the control panel directly using the
control panel’s onboard USB or serial port or remotely using a modem. If you need to connect
to an older control panel that does not have a USB port, and your laptop does not have a serial
port, use a USB to serial converter. SKSS includes an online help system and a manual. See
the SKSS manual (PN 151240) for more information.
*

See Section 1.3 for a list of modems that have been tested for compatibility with the control panel and SKSS.

6.4

Programming Using an Annunciator

You can program the control panel from a system annunciator, using either the control panel’s
on-board annunciator or a Model 5860 Remote Annunciator.
The following subsections describe programming basics, including a description of editing
keys available for programming and how to move through programming menus. Section 7
contains specific information about individual programming options.

Section 7
Programming
This section of the manual describes how to manually program the control panel from the
built-in annunciator. Each subsection discusses these menu options in detail. All options
described in this section can be performed using the 5660 Silent Knight Software Suite
(SKSS).
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.

Table 7-1: Alarm Delay Characteristics
Type of Delay

Description

1-Count

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.

2-Count

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.
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 Ver.

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.

PAS

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.
• 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 180-second 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.
• The P.A.S. feature will be overridden if another alarm occurs.

Use this feature to set the temperature at which heat detectors will respond. The range is 135°
to 150° F. All detectors in the zone will respond in the same way.

responds to an alarm immediately if the temperature in the zone goes above the programmed
temperature.

7.4.1.3 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.
Note: Use of multiple notification groups may not synchronize with each other.

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. The following is a list of all
event types:

Group

An output group is made up of output points that have been programmed to respond in the
same way. Output groups simplify programming because you have to program the output
characteristics that are common to all of the group points once, instead of programming each
individual point. Once you have defined the characteristics of output groups, you can assign
each point to the appropriate group. All valid output points are assigned to only one output
group. Unused points are not assigned to any output group. Up to 250 output groups can be
defined.

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.)

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.

Reverse Polarity

This option programs the output group for reverse polarity operation. Selecting Reverse
Polarity–Troubles will cause the output group to be de-energized for any system
trouble. Selecting Reverse Polarity–No Troubles will cause system troubles to be
ignored. Activation is accomplished through standard mapping methods. Use with the
7644 assembly to implement reverse polarity. See Section 4.15.3.2 for more

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 7-4). 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.

Use this switch type for manual pull stations. This input is always latched.
The switch can clear only when an alarm is reset. This switch type has the
highest priority; it overrides any other type of alarm.
Use this switch type for monitoring water flow in a sprinkler system. Switch
closure will cause a sprinkler alarm. Water flow switches can be
programmed as latching or non-latching.
You can program a delay of up to 90 seconds to be used with a water flow
switch. The delay allows for normal, brief changes in sprinkler system water
pressure. The water flow alarm will not activate unless the switch is active
for the programmed delay time.
If a delay is used, the system begins counting down when the switch closes.
If the switch opens (restores) before the timer expires, a water flow alarm is
not generated. If the water flow switch remains closed after the timer
expires, a water flow alarm will be generated.
Use this switch type for tamper monitoring of sprinklers and other fire

Computer Account

An installer at the panel site can initiate communications between the panel and a computer
running the 5660 SKSS (see also Section 8.5.16). In order for this communication to function
properly both the computer (running the software) and the control panel must have matching
computer account numbers and computer access codes.
Before you program in this location you should know how your control panel will
communicate with the downloading computer, either through direct connect (RS232) or via
the phone lines (Internal Modem).
If the panel initiates the call to a downloading computer, a phone number must be
programmed in the computer accounts area. If the computer initiates the call, answering
machine bypass may need to be selected (see Section 7.7.2.7).

7.10 Access Codes
Access codes provide the user access to the control panel functions. Each access code can be
customized for each user. This allows some users the ability to access programming and other
higher level panel functions, while other users may only need access to lower level functions
such as preforming fire drills, or acknowledging trouble conditions.
Profile 1 is the profile that dictates what functions the Fire Fighter Key has access to. Because
this is the profile for a key the user name and the access code can not be edited for this profile.
Profile 2 is the profile for the installer and is referred to as the "Installer Code". This profile’s
user name and panel functions can not be edited.

8.5.11 Check Detector 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 8.5.17 provides

Releasing Operations

This control panel supports two types of releasing, Double Interlock Zone, and Single
Interlock Zone. The Double Interlock Zone operation requires an interlock switch input in the
system, and the Single Interlock does not. An interlock switch is typically a dry-contact
pressure switch.
When a Single or Double Interlock Zone releasing is selected the system is will automatically
default the following system parameters:
Note: The defaults created can be modified through programming if desired.

•

Output Group 2 is created. Output Group 2 will be defaulted as an "Alarm" output group
for all releasing zones. NAC [34:001] is assigned to Output Group 2.

•

Output Group 3 is created. Output Group 3 will be defaulted as an "Pre-Alert" output
group for all releasing zones. NAC [34:002] is assigned to Output Group 3.

•

Output Group 4 is created. Output Group 4 will be defaulted as a "Release" output group
for all releasing zones. NAC circuit [34:003] is assigned to Output Group 4.

Note: The installer must define which input points will be used for detectors, manual release switches, or interlock/pressure switches.

System Operation

8.7.1

Single Interlock Zone Releasing

A single interlock zone utilizes a minimum of two addressable detectors and a designated
manual release switch.
Important!
Only addressable detectors can be used. No conventional detectors can be used.
Each Single Interlock Zone input requires at least one manual release switch.

Conditions Required for an Pre-Alert Output Activation
If any single addressable detector is activated, the “Pre-Alert” output will activate. This alerts
the user that the initial stages required for a release condition are present. (Also refer to Table
8-3.)
Conditions required for an General Alarm and Release Output Activation
If two or more addressable detectors, or a manual release switch activate, the “Alarm” and the
“Release” outputs will activate. (Also refer to Table 8-3.)

8.7.2

Double Interlock Zone Releasing

A Double Interlock Zone uses a minimum of two Addressable detectors, a designated manual
release switch, and an interlock switch input. An interlock switch is typically a dry-contact
pressure switch and will be referred to as an interlock/pressure switch in this document.
Important!
Only addressable detectors can be used. No conventional detectors can be used.
Each Single Interlock Zone input requires at least one manual release switch.
Each Double Interlock Zone input requires at least one Interlock/pressure switch

Conditions Required for a Pre-Alert Output Activation
If any single addressable detector is activated, the “Pre-Alert” output will activate. This alerts
the user that the initial stages required for a release condition are present. (Also refer to Table
8-3.)
Conditions Required for a General Alarm Output Activation
If two addressable detectors, a manual release switch is activated, or an interlock switch is
active, the "Pre-Alert", and "General Alarm" outputs will activate.
Conditions Required for a Release Output Activation
Any release requires the activation of an interlock switch, and either a manual release switch
or 2 activated addressable detectors. When these conditions are met, the "Release" and
"General Alarm" outputs will activate, and the "Alert" outputs will deactivate.

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 800-446-6444 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 5.8.

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
5.4). 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 5.8.
For contact monitor modules, which are addressed using dip switches, the dip
switch 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 5.4.

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 7.3.2).
Check that the correct ID for the 5815XL module has been set through the
DIP switches. 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.

10.2.1 Periodic Testing And Maintenance
To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that system inspection and testing
be scheduled monthly or as required by national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be
done by a qualified services representative if a malfunction is encountered.
Before testing:
1) Notify the fire department and/or central alarm receiving station if an alarm condition is
transmitted.
2) Notify facility personnel of a test so that alarm sounding devices are ignored during the test
period.

10-2

Testing and Troubleshooting

3) When necessary, activation of Notification Appliances can be prevented by the DISABLE
function
Testing:
1) Activate a input via an alarm initiating device and check that the correct outputs activate
(Notification Appliances sound/flash, relays activate, alarm LED lights). Reset system.
Repeat for each alarm initiating device.
2) Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble signal:
•

Notification Appliance (bell) Circuits.

•

Initiating devices

3) If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove AC
power, activate initiating device and check that:
•

The ALARM indicator lights.

•

All active Notification Appliances sound.

Measure battery voltage while the Notification Appliances are sounding. Replace any battery
with terminal voltage less than 85% of rating. Reapply AC power and RESET system.

10.2.2 Event History
The event history can be useful for tracking or recalling a trouble condition.

Notification Appliances

For proper operation, you must use polarized devices with a Model 7628 4.7k ohm EOL
resistor on each loop. All supervised notification appliances used with the control panel must
be polarized.
Note: Not all devices can use the Sync feature, be sure to check Table A-1 to ensure the device you have chosen
will work with this feature. This control is UL listed for panel wide Synchronization.

Table A-1 below lists notification appliances compatible with the fire alarm control panel.
Appliances which can be synchronized indicate the type of snyc available in the columns
marked Audio and/or Visual.

A.2 Two-Wire Smoke Detectors
Table A-2 lists two-wire smoke detectors that are compatible with the fire control panel. The
table is organized by manufacturer. The columns show the number of detectors per loop that
can be used.
Table 1-1:
5820XL
24H

Identifier
Operating Voltage Range

18.5–27.4 VDC

Note: The maximum number of smoke detectors per zone is determined by both the current draw and the impedance of the smoke detector. If too many smoke detectors are used on any zone, false alarms could occur.
Do not mix different models of detectors on any zone; false alarms could occur.
Do not mix detectors of different models unless the system is specifically intended to be installed in that
configuration.
Control unit Smoke Reset Time must be programmed for a number greater than or equal to the maximum
reset time of the smoke detector.
