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 T est 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 NFP A requirements for operation wi thin 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. V erify that wir e 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.

3.4 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:
Earth Ground
Faults
0Ω
High voltage AC power, Terminals 1-3
SLC loops Terminals 33-36
Audio input/output Phone line circuits, Terminals
37-44
Notification circuits Ter minals 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.

3.6 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 Wo rkshe et 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.
