Please Read

Security products should be tested every week to ensure complete and proper input and
output connections.

To comply with industry standards, this product is equipped with line seizure. This
means that any time the system’s dialer needs to communicate with the central station, it
will NOT be possible to use any telephones that are on the same line(s) as the system.
Normally this condition will last approximately one minute, but, under adverse telephone
circuit conditions, could last for as long as 15 minutes.

System Overview

The Silent Knight Model 5207 is a UL
listed fire alarm panel designed with the
most recent microprocessor technology
available. It provides you with
dependable, 24-hour fire protection for
your business. Although it is a very
sophisticated piece of equipment, you will
find it flexible and easy to use.

This guide is intended to provide you
with basic operating instructions for the
most frequently used functions. Call your
security company if you need information
about a problem or function not described
here. Your installer has customized your
system to meet your specific needs. If the
instructions here differ from those
supplied by your installer, follow your
installer’s instructions.

The 5207 monitors for fire in up to 16
zones, or areas, within your facility.
When the 5207 encounters a fire, it
immediately sends an alarm signal to your
security company’s monitoring office.

The major components of the 5207 are:

• Sensors

• Touchpads (optional devices also

known as annunciators)

• Control Panel
Sensors are devices, such as smoke and

heat detectors, that recognize fire hazard
conditions. They are distributed
throughout your facility.

One touchpad is built into your system.
You can use it to control the 5207. You
may also have up to seven additional
touchpads distributed throughout your
facility.

Audible Warnings

It is likely that your installing company
has attached a sounding device to your
system. If so, fire and trouble conditions
will activate the following audible
warnings (in addition to sending a signal
to your monitoring office):

Fire Condition

A loud, usually high pitch pulsing bell
will sound in the zone with the fire
condition.

Trouble Condition

The trouble condition warning sounds
when the control panel detects a
malfunction in the 5207. It will issue a
half-second beep every four seconds until
the trouble has been silenced. It is
important that your system be serviced as
soon as possible to correct a trouble
condition. Call your installation company
for service immediately.

LED Display Indications

If you are using external touchpads, a
green POWER light will display
constantly to let you know the system is
functioning normally.

In most cases, LED displays are OFF in
normal conditions. One exception is the
AC/DC LED. When lit, it indicates that
the control panel is running on AC power,
the normal condition.

During system testing, the SET MODE/
REPORT LED will be lit (steady or
flashing). This is a normal condition. If
any other LEDs are lit, contact your
security company for assistance.
