The SD500-SDM two-wire smoke module
allows you to connect a loop of conventional
detectors to a Silent Knight addressable fire
alarm control panel (FACP). Each loop can then
be assigned an address on the FACP.
Note: Installation and wiring of this device must be done in
accordance with NFPA 72 and local ordinances.
Important! All wiring is supervised and power limited.
Connecting the SD500-SDM
to the SLC Loop
The SD500-SDM connections to the 5815XL
internal and external are the same. Wire as
shown in Figure 1.

Smoke Detector Connections
This section contain instructions on how to
connect a 2-wire conventional smoke detector
loop to the SD500-SDM for either Class B (Style
B), or Class A (Style D).
Class B (Style B) Wiring
Wire Class B (Style B) conventional smoke
detector loop to the SD500-SDM as shown in
Figure 2. Place the jumper block in the Class B
The SD500-SDM is compatible with all Silent
Knight addressable FACPs.

Note: Auxiliary power is supplied by a Regulated UL listed
power supply for Fire Protective Signalling Systems.
Class A (Style D) Wiring
Wire Class A (Style D) conventional smoke
detector loop to the SD500-SDM as shown in
Figure 3. Place the jumper block in the Class A
(Style D) supervision position (see Figure 4).
Flexput™ Circuits
The SD500-SDM can use aux power from any
24 VDC source. The following describes how to
use the Flexput circuits as the auxiliary power
source:
1. Connect the aux power wires to the Flexput
terminals using “X” terminals as positive
and “O” terminals as negative power. See
Figure 5.

2. Configure the auxiliary power output for
constant output through programming. Refer
to the FACP installation manual form more
information.

manual.
Two-Wire Smoke Detectors
Table 1 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.

SD500-SDM Installation Instructions
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 T ime mu st be programmed for a number greater than or equal to the maximum r eset time of the smoke
detector.
