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 inserti ng card s,
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. 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. Th ese instructions must be followed to
avoid damage to the control panel and associated equipment. Fire Alarm Control Panel (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 li mitations. 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.

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

Limitations of Fire Alarm Systems
),
•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
1-4
LS10061-001SK-EIntroduction
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 escap ing gas,
improper storage of flammable materials, etc.).
•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 com-
prehend 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 continu e to act prud ently 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.

Model 5820XL/ 5820XL-EVS Installation ManualLS10061-001SK-E
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.
•T o 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.

3.4Wiring 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 multi-conductor cable for
the entire panel. Instead, separate the wiring as follows:
High voltageAC power, Terminals 1-3
SLC loopsTerminals 33-36
Audio input/output Phone line circuits, Terminals
•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.

3.6Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery needs if you are using SK
addressable devices (Table 3-2) or SD addressable devices (Table 3-3).
3.6.1Current Draw Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when determining 5820XL/5820XL-EVS current draw and standby battery
requirements.
1.You will use the Current Draw Worksheet to determine current draw and standby battery requirements. Use
Table 3-2 if installing SK SLC Devices and Table 3-3 if installing SD SLC Devices. For the 5820XL /
5820XL-EVS, 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 on Line B.
3.Add up the current draw for all notification appliances and record in the table on 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 / 5820XL-EVS 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 / 5820XLEVS or the power expanders do not exceed their power ratings. Refer to the current draw worksheets provided with the 5495 or the 5895XL manuals so you do not exceed their power ratings.
6.Complete the remaining instructions in the appropriate Current Draw Works heet for determining battery size
requirements.
3.6.2Current Draw Worksheet for SK SLC Devices
Use to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation SK
SLC devices are installed. when SD SLC devices are installed. You can install up 99 SK detectors SD per loop
(396 points max per panel) and 99 SK modules per loop (396 points max per panel). Copy this section if
additional space is required.

3. Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
4. 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.
5. 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 SKDUCT.
6. The F ACP can only support 5 devices w/LED’s on. This current draw has been added to the panels alarm current.

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.
4.1Mounting 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 5820XL cabinet can be surface- or flush-mounted. Cabinet dimensions are
16.2" W x 26.4" H x 4.2" D. There should be 1.5" to 1.75" of cabinet extruding from the wall, this should be
measured from either the top edge or bottom edge to the exterior side of the sheet rock. Do NOT flush mount in
a wall designated as a fire break.
The 5820XL-EVS cabinet can be surface or flush mounted. Cabinet dimensions are 20" W x 26.5" H x 4.6" D.
There should be 1.5" to 1.75" of cabinet extruding from the wall, this should be measured from either the top
edge or bottom edge to the exterior side of the sheet rock. Do NOT flush mount in a wall designated as a fire
break.
4.1.1Preventing 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.
4.1.2Removing the 5820XL / 5820XL-EVS 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.
4.2AC 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.
Warning
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this product is provided with a grounding type power supply cord. Connect
product to a grounded receptacle.

4.3.1RBB 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).
4.3.1.1Installing 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 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 mo isture is expected, attach a piece of ¾” 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.
Figure 4-3 RBB Cabinet Mounting Holes
2.Connect the main control panel battery cables to the battery cable extenders as shown in Figure 4-4.

4.4SBUS Wiring
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types of wiring configurations
(Class A and B).

Model 5820XL / 5820XL-EVS Installation ManualLS10061-001SK-E
4.4.1Calculating 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 4-conductor 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 mod-
ules 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.

5824 Serial/Parallel Printer Interface Module.040 amps

EVS-RCU / EVS-RCU with EVS-SW24* **.080 amps / .105 amps
Note: Refer to if using SD SLC devices and Table 3-2 if using SK SLC devices for maximum number of each type
of device that can be used per system
* All devices must use the same SBUS and VBUS.
** When doing wire calculations, use .080 amps per device with .105 amps for the last device.
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 ensures 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.
4-5
Control Panel InstallationLS10061- 001SK-E
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.

Caution
For proper system supervision do not use looped wire
under terminals marked A, B, +, and - of the SBUS
device connectors. Break wire runs to provide
supervision of connections.
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
2362 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire

4.8.3LED 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.
4.8.4Dry Contact Wiring
The 8 input circuits on the 5880 board are for monitoring switch inputs-any type of switch supported by the
control panel can be used with the 5880. For example, you can use a 5880 to monitor pull stations, water flo w,
tamper, reset, or silence switches.

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, door holder, or sounder sync).
The polarity of the Flexput terminals differs depending on whether the circuit is programmed as an input or an
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 pow er or
NAC) then the X terminal is positive and the O terminal is negative.

4.12.5Auxiliary Power Installation
Flexput Circuits 1-6 on the control panel can be used as auxiliary power circuits. The four types of auxiliary
power available are:
•Door Holder Power (see Section 4.12.5.1)
•Constant Power (see Section 4.12.5.2)
•Resettable Power (see Section 4.12.5.3)
•Sounder Sync Power (see Section 4.12.5.4)
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 Secti on 7.5).
Figure 4-38 Flexput Circuit Location
4.12.5.1 Door Holder Power
Door holder power is intended for fire door applications. When there are no alarms in the system and the panel
has AC power, do or hold er circ uits have 24-volt power present at their terminals. Any alarm will caus e power to
disconnect. Power will be re-applied when the system is reset. If AC power is off for more than 15 seconds, the
auxiliary door holder power will be disconnected to conserve the battery backup. When AC power is restored,
power is immediately restored to the door holder circuits.
Use a UL listed door holder ESL DHX-1224, for this application.
4.12.5.2 Constant Power
Use constant power for applications that require a constant auxiliary power source. Power is always present at
Constant circuits.
4.12.5.3 Resettable Power
Resettable power is typically used to power beam detectors, flame detectors and conventional 4-wire smoke
detectors. For circuits selected as Resettable, 24-volt power is always present at the terminals unless a system
reset occurs. If a system reset occurs, power is disconnected from the terminals for 30 seconds, then re-applied.

5.6Addressing SK SLC Devices
All SK devices are addressed using the two rotary dials that appear on the device board. Use 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 SD 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 SD 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.

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 AutoProgrammin g feature auto mates many pro gramming task s and selects defau lt options f or the
system. You should run JumpStart at least once when you are installing the system. See Section 6.2 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 7.6 for details).
•Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control the detection behavior of
devices (see Section 7.5 for details).
•Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output groups and mapping
output circuits to output groups (see Section 7.4 for details).
6.1Security and Data Protection
Communication Security - Level 1
Stored Data Security - Level 0
The JumpStart AutoProgramming 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.
JumpStart AutoProgramming 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 AutoProgramming completes.
See Section 6.2.3 for complete details about running JumpStart AutoProgramming.
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.

Programming OverviewLS10061-001SK-E
6.2.1Input 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 the device type for detectors. Any contact monitor modules on the system will be assigned ty pe
“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.
If the system has an EVS-50W, EVS-100W or EVS-125W Amplifier, then Output Group 2 will also be created
and all input points will be mapped to both Group 1 and Group 2. After JumpStart completes, you can re-map to
configure a multiple zone/output group system (see Section 7.3.1.3). For a general explanation of mapping see
Section 6.3.
6.2.2Output Points
The 5820XL JumpStart creates three output groups. The 5820XL-EVS with amplifiers will create four output
groups. The output circuits are assigned 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 when an alarm condition occurs.
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.
Amplifier Circuits:
Assigned to Group 2. JumpStart automatically programs Zone 1 to activate Group 2.
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.
6.2.3Running JumpStart AutoProgramming
Run JumpStart immediately after you have addressed and connected all input devices (detectors, pull stations,
and etc.) and output devices (notification appliances, relays, etc.).
Note: If you need to install a few devices after you have run JumpStart, you can install them manually. Follow
instructions in Section 7 for configuration.
To run JumpStart, follow these steps:
1.Select 7 for Program Menu. Enter the Access Code
2.Select 6 for JumpStart AutoProgramming.
3.The message “WARNING WILL DELETE all system options” displays on the LCD. Select Yes to continue.
A series of messages displays for the next several seconds. JumpStart scans the SLC loops for devices. This
can take several minutes, depending on the number of devices attached.
4.When the message, “SLC FAMILY” message appears, select SK or SD; depending on the type of SLC
devices the panel is using, and press ENTER to accept.
5.When the message “Configuring System Done” displays, press any key to continue.

6.3Mapping 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 gro ups.
Figure 6-1 is a brief overview of the concept of mapping. The next several pages of the manual show these
subjects in detail.

6.3.1Input Point Mapping
Input points are assigned to input zones, as the example in Figure 6-2 shows. 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).

6.3.3Zone Event Mapping
There are 11 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 7.4.5 for information on output group templates). Event types are:
•Manual Pull Alarm
•Water Flow Alarm
•Detector Alarm (heat or smoke detectors)
•Aux 1 and Aux 2 Alarm (user-specified alarm types)
•Pre-alarm
•Supervisory
•Status Points
•Trouble
•CO Alarm
•CO Supervisory

6.3.4Mapping 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.)
