Fire Alarm & Emergency Communication System Limitations
While a life safety system may lower insurance rates, it is not a substitute for life and property
insurance!
An automatic fire alarm system—typically made up of smoke
detectors, heat detectors, manual pull sta tions, audible warni ng
devices, and a fire alarm control pane l (FACP) 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.
An emergency communication system—typically made up of
an automatic fire alarm system (as described above) and a life
safety communication system that may include an autonomous
control unit (ACU), local operating console (LOC), voice communication, and other various inter-operable communication
methods—can broadcast a mass notification message. Such a
system, however, does not assure protection against property
damage or loss of life resulting from a fire or life safety event.
The Manufacturer recommends that smoke and/or heat
detectors be located throughout a protected premi ses fol lowing
the recommendations of the current edition of t he National Fire
Protection Association Standard 72 (NFPA 72), manufacturer's
recommendations, State and local codes, and the
recommendations contained in the Guide for Proper Use of
System Smoke Detectors, which is made available at no charge
to all installing dealers. Thi s document can be found at http://
www.systemsensor.com/appguides/. A study by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency (an agency of the United
States government) indicated that smoke detectors may not go
off in as many as 35% of all fires. While fire alarm systems are
designed to provide early 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:
Smoke detectors may not sense fire where smoke cannot
reach the detectors such as in chimneys, in or behind walls, on
roofs, or on the other side of closed doors. Smoke detectors
also may not sense a fire on another level or floor of a buil din g.
A second-fl oor detector , fo r example, may not sens e a first-floor
or basement fire.
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,
chimneys, even wet or humid areas 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, such as air conditioning vents.
• Smoke particles may be drawn into air returns before reaching the detector.
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 photoele ctronic sensing chambers tend to detect smoldering fires better than flaming fires,
which have little visible smoke. Detectors that have ionizingtype 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 cannot be expected to provide adequate
warning of fires caused by arson, children playing with matches
(especially in bedrooms), smoking in bed, and violent explo-
sions (caused by escaping gas, improper storage of flammable
materials, etc.).
Heat detectors do not sense particles of combustion and alar m
only when heat on their sensors increases at a predetermined
rate or reaches a predetermined level. 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. Heat detectors are designed to protect property, not life.
IMPORTANT! Smoke detectors must be install ed 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 det ectors are not so locat ed, a developing fire may damage the alarm system, compromising its
ability to report a fire.
Audible warning devices such as bells, horns, strobes,
speakers and displays 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. Any warning device
may fail to alert people with a disability or those who have
recently consumed drugs, alcohol, or medication. Please note
that:
• An emergency communication system may take priority ove r
a fire alarm system in the event of a life safety emergency.
• Voice messaging systems must be designed to meet intelligibility requirements as defined by NFPA, local codes, and
Authorities Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
• Language and instructional requirements must be clearly
disseminated on any local displays.
• Strobes can, under certain circumstances, cause seizures in
people with conditions such as epilepsy.
• Studies have shown that certain people, even when they
hear a fire alarm signal, do not respond to or comprehend
the meaning of the signal. Audible devices, such as horns
and bells, can have different tonal patt erns and frequenci es.
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 them on the proper reaction to
alarm signals.
• In rare instances, the sounding of a warning device can
cause temporary or permanent hearing loss.
A life safety system will not operate without any electrical
power. If AC power fails, the system will operate from standby
batteries only for a specified time and only if the batteries have
been properly maintained and replaced regularly.
Equipment used in the system may not be technically compatible with the control panel. It is essential to use only equipment listed for service with your control panel.
Te lepho ne line s
needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may be out of service or
temporarily disabled. For added protection against telephone
line failure, backup radio transmission systems are recommended.
The most common cause of life safety system malfunction is
inadequate maintenance. To keep the entire life safety system
in excellent working order , ongoi ng maintenance is re quired per
the manufacturer's recommendations, and UL and NFPA standards. At a minimum, the requirements of NFPA 72 shall be followed. Environments with large amounts of dust, dirt, or high air
velocity require more frequent maintenance. A maintenance
agreement should be arranged through the local manufacturer's representative. Maintenance should be scheduled
monthly or as required by National and/or local fire codes and
should be performed by authorized professional life safety system installers only. Adequate written records of all inspections

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 operat e 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. Reacceptance 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 at 0-49º
C/32-120º F and at a relative humidity. 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 initia ting and indicating device loops. Most devices cannot tol erate 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 circui ts.
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 print ed circuit board location.
Do not tighten screw terminals more than 9 in-lbs. Overtightening may damage threads, resulting in reduced terminal
contact pressure and difficulty with screw terminal removal.
This system contains static-sensitive components.
Always ground yourself with a proper wrist strap before han-
dling 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 .
FACP operation and reliability depend upon proper installation.

The Model 5895XL Intelligent Power Module provides additional power and circuits to the 5700, 6700, 5808, 6808, 5820XL, 5820XLEVS, 6820, or 6820EVS FACPs. The 5895XL can power all compatible modules, including SLC devices (via a Model 5815XL or 6815
SLC Expander), remote annunciators (Model 6860, 6855 & 5860); notification appliances, auxiliary power modules, and all other compatible modules.
NOTE: The 5700, 6700, 5808 and 6808 do not use the 5815XL or 6815 SLC expanders.
The 5895XL has six Flexputs™ and two programmable relays. Outputs are rated 3.0 A (6.0 A total for each 5895XL). Relays are Form
C rated at 2.5 A @ 24 VDC. Outputs and relays are fully programmable.
The 5895XL is optically isolated, providing ground loop isolation and transient protection. It functions as an SBUS repeater which conditions the RS-485 signal and allows the module to drive up to 6,000 feet of additional SBUS wiring.
The 5895XL is housed in a metal cabinet that is identical in size to the 5820XL FACP cabinet. This cabinet is large enough to house two
17 AH batteries. Like the 5820XL or 6820 cabinets, the 5895XL cabinet provides mounting studs for two SLC Expander modules.
The 5895XL communicates to the main FACP via the SBUS. Each 5895XL provides an additional 6,000 feet of SBUS wiring length to
the main panel. As the drawings on the next pages illustrate, this allows you to distribu te modules, SLC devices, and outpu ts throughout
an extremely large facility.
As well as expanding the wiring length capabilities, the 5895XL also expands power capabilities by an additional 6.0 A of current.
1.1 Maximum Number of SBUS Modules
The chart below shows the maximum number of compatible modules that can be used in the FA CP installation. Modules can be distributed among the main panel SBUS and each additional 5895XL SBUS in virtually any combination.

2.6 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery needs for your installation.
2.6.1 Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when determining 5895XL current draw and standby battery requirements.
Filling in the Current Draw Worksheet, Table 2.4 (Section 2.6.2)
1.For the 5895XL, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel, addressable devices, and SLC expanders. Fill in the number of
addressable devices and expanders that will be used in the system and comp ute the current draw requirements for alarm and
standby. Record this information in Table 2.4 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 6.0 A. This is the
maximum alarm current allowable.
6.Complete the remaining instructions in Table 2.4 for determining battery size requirements.
Maximum Battery Standby Load
Table2.3 shows the maximum battery standby load for the 5895XL based on 24 and 60 hours of standby. The standby load calculations
