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 Test after Software
Changes: To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in
accordance with NFP A 72 af ter 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. Remove DC power 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.
Page 4
These instructions must be followed to avoid damage to the control panel and
associated equipment. FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panel) operation and reliability
depend upon proper installation.
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 photo electronic 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
1514501-3
Page 14
Model 5600 Installation and Operation Manual
by arson, children playing with matches (especially within bedrooms), smoking in
bed, violent explosions (caused by escaping 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 con-
ditions such as epilepsy.
ii) Studies have shown that certain people, even when they hear a fire alarm sig-
nal, 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.
1-4151450
Property owners should

Introduction
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.
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 14 of NFPA 72, 2010 Edition 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.

*Special application when used for auxiliary power circuits.
3-2151450
Page 23
Before You Begin Installing
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
SLC loopsPhone line circuits
Notification circuitsNAC1 through NAC2
Relay circuitsSBUS Wiring
•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

3.6Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery
requirements (Table 3-2).
3.6.1Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when determining 5600 current draw and standby
battery requirements.
1. For the 5600, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel and all addressable devices. Fill in the number of addressable devices that will be used in the
system and compute the current draw requirements for alarm and standby.
Record this information in the Current Calculation Worksheet 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 appliance circuits 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 2.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the
5600 control panel.
If the current is above 2.0 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s)
such as the Silent Knight 5495 power module to distribute the power loads so that
the 5600 or the power expanders do not exceed their power rating.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in the Current Calculation Worksheet for
determining battery size requirements.

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 5600
panel.
The 5600 cabinet dimensions are:
12-3/4” W x 15-1/8” H x 3-3/8” D (32.39 cm W x 38.42 cm H x 8.57 cm D).
The 5600 panel should be located within a secured area, where it is accessible to
main drop wiring runs and where it can be easily tested and serviced. Building
occupants are responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear alarms
and troubles. When selecting a location, keep in mind that the panel itself is the main
source of alarm and trouble annunciation.
When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. 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 5600 to the plywood. Also
mount any other desired components to the plywood.
DO NOT flush-mount the 5600 cabinet.
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 5600 Assembly from the Housing
If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet
for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the control panel in to the cabinet.
Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.

4.3.1RBB Accessory Cabinet
The Model RBB Accessory cabinet can be used when your backup batteries 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 Figure 4-5 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 moisture is expected, attach a
piece of ¾ inch 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.

4.4SBUS Wiring
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types
of wiring configurations (Class B).
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 500 mA.
Model NumberWorst Case Current Draw
5635 Remote Fire Annunciator.04 amps
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
insures 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.
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).

Wiring Distance calculation example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following SBUS modules:
1 - Module 5635 Fire Annunciator
The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
5635 Current Draw= 1 x .04 amps= .04 amps
Total Worst Case Current Draw= .04 amps
Using this value, and referring to the Wiring Distance table, it can be found that the
available options are:
1852 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
4688 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
6000 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire
6000 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire

4.9.2Auxiliary Power Installation
NAC Circuits 1 and 2 on the control panel can be used as auxiliary power circuits.
The three types of auxiliary power available are:
•Door Holder (see section 4.9.2.1)
•Constant (see section 4.9.2.2)
•Resettable Power (see section 4.9.2.3)
Auxiliary power circuits are power limited. Each circuit can source up to 1.0A (total
current for system must not exceed 2.0A).
To install an auxiliary power circuit:
1. Wire the NAC circuit(s) that will be used for auxiliary power. See 3.5 for location of

2. Configure the auxiliary power output through programming.
4.9.2.1Door 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, door holder circuits have 24 volt power
present at their terminals. Any alarm will cause power to disconnect. Power will be reapplied 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.
Figure 4-16 Example of an Auxiliary Power For Door Holder
Use a UL listed door holder see list from Appendix A-3, for this application.
1514504-19

Model 5600 Installation and Operation Manual
4.9.2.2Constant Power
Use constant power for applications that require a constant auxiliary power source.
Power is always present at Constant circuits.
4.9.2.3Resettable 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 reapplied.

Important!
Before any customized programming is done, JumpStart should be run first. After
JumpStart is run, thoroughly test the system. The reason the system should be
tested after JumpStart is because JumpStart automatically programs the system,
searching for and configuring all SLC devices and SBUS annunciators it finds.
JumpStart allows you to confirm the integrity of the installation prior to performing
any custom programming. After determining that the hardware is properly installed,
custom programming can be performed. Refer to Section 6.

6.3.1Default Mapping of SLC Inputs to Outputs
The panel mapping configuration for the 5600 is fixed with regards to SLC addresses,
zone assignments and output points. The relationship between input points and
output points follows the rules defined in 6.3.2 below. For input points, the SLC
address determines the zone assignment and alarm characteristics. For output
points, the SLC address determines the output function for the point.
Table 6-2: shows that any input SLC device with an address set within the range 1-15
will be assigned to zone 1 as an alarm input type. An SLC output relay point assigned
to address 111 or 112 will activate for an alarm in zone 1.
6.3.3Default Mapping for the 2 built-in Notification
Circuits.
There are 2 built-in notification circuits (NAC 1 and NAC 2). They are both defaulted
to activate when any of the 5 zones are in alarm. When active, NAC 1 and NAC 2 will
sound the System Sensor synchronization pattern. To change the behavior of the
default mapping of these circuits refer to Section 6.5.

Programming
6.3.4Maximum SLC address point count
The 5600 control panel supports a maximum of 25 SLC points to be used within the
159 point address range. The points can be all inputs, all outputs or any combination
of inputs and output points. When more than 25 SLC devices are added to the control
panel, any excess points will indicate a trouble and not be recognized by the panel.
6.3.5Installer Code
The installer code is factory programmed as 123456. The installer code is required to
learn and remember which SLC devices are connected to the panel. The installer
code can be changed when a PC is used to modify the default programming options.
6.4JumpStart AutoProgramming
Once the physical installation of SLC devices is finished, the panel will need to learn
which SLC devices and SBUS annunciators are present.
IMPORTANT
There is no limit to how often you can run JumpStart. Each time you run this
process it starts fresh and does not remember previously installed devices that
are no longer present.
To run JumpSt art:
1. Press and hold the “JumpStart” key,
2. Press the installer code after PIN is displayed.
3. During JumpStart, the panel will briefly light up all LEDs and then display “SLC
Prg” on the 7 segment display.
4. When complete the display will be off and programming is complete.
If changes are required that affect address settings for the SLC devices, device types
or number of SLC devices installed you will need to repeat JumpStart to re-learn
which devices are supposed to be present on the system.

6.5Modifying Panel Programming using a PC
6.5.1Connecting the panel to a PC
Modifications to the default panel programming can only be done using the
embedded web server of the control panel. There are two ways to connect to the
panel for the purpose of programming. It can be connected through a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) router or it can also be plugged in using a
Standard CAT5e Ethernet cable without a router. Both methods of connecting the
panel to the PC are for local connection only.
By default, the panel is configured to search for a DHCP server. If there is a DHCP
server present, the panel receives the IP configuration offered by the DHCP server
and displays the IP address on the seven segment display.
If the panel is connected to a PC without a router , it assigns it self a default class B IP
address of the format (169.254.X.X). Each panel will have a unique IP address and it
will also be displayed on the 7 segment display. When direct connected, it will
normally take about 40 seconds to display the IP address. The panel displays “IP”
while the IP address is being determined during this 40 second search period.
A PC with the Windows operating system may take up to 1 minute to fallback to the
APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing) which enables the PC to communicate to
the panel. Whether using either the PC direct connect or the PC connected to the
panel via DHCP router , you are ready to view and edit the panel programming options
once the panel shows the IP address on the seven segment display.
The embedded web page programming tool is accessed by typing in the panel IP
address in a web browser. MS Internet explorer 6 and Mozilla Firefox 3.0.5 are the
only two web browsers tested and recommended.

6.6Panel Programming Options
All customized programming options for the 5600 control panel are described in this
section and are available to be edited using the embedded web server of the control
panel.
6.6.1System Options
6.6.1.1Synchronized Strobes Active When Horns Silenced
The default configuration for this option is No. If set to Yes, strobes will remain on
when horns are silenced until a panel reset is issued.
6.6.1.2Silence/Reset Inhibit Enabled
The default configuration for this option is NO. If set to Yes, Pressing either Reset or
Silence Buttons will be ignored for the duration of the delay (set to 30 seconds). The
inhibit feature delay is only active for the first alarm/supervisory signal.
6.6.1.3Water Flow Delay
The water flow delay is a debounce time that is generally used to help reduce false
alarms during brief periods of water pressure fluctuation in a water riser. The default
setting is 1 second which is the minimum debounce time. You can set the water flow
delay within the range 1-90 seconds.
6.6.1.4Installer Code (User ID)
This is the password used to lock the list of SLC devices found during the JumpStart
auto learn process. It is defaulted to 123456 and can be changed to any 4 to 8 digit
number.
6.6.1.5Alarm Verification Time
Alarm verification is an optional false alarm prevention feature for smoke detectors
that verifies an alarm condition by resetting the smoke detector. The alarm verification
time can be set within the range of 1-250 seconds. For UL 864 installations this
option must be greater than 59 seconds. The default setting is 60 seconds.
6.6.1.6Auto Test
Enter the hour/minutes (in 24 hour format) that you desire the control panel to send
the automatic test report.
6.6.1.7Low AC Report Delay
This option determines the number of delay hours before a loss of AC is reported to
1514506-7
Page 70
Model 5600 Installation and Operation Manual
the central station. It is defaulted to 3 hours and must be within the range 0-30 hours.
For U.L. 864 installation this option must be set within the range 1-3 hours.
6.6.1.8Walk Test Reporting
The default configuration for this option is No. If set to Yes, the panel generates a
TEST report to the central station when the walk test begins. During a walk test, the
panel’s normal fire alarm function is completely disabled, placing the panel in a local
trouble condition. All zones respond as 1-Count zones (respond when a single
detector is in alarm) during a walk test. Each alarm initiated during the walk test will
be reported.
6.6.1.9Walk Test duration
Enter the amount of time, in minutes, for the walk test duration. When the
programmed amount of time expires, the Walk Test will end automatically.
6.6.1.10 Walk Test NAC Time out
Enter the amount of time, in seconds, for the walk test NAC active duration. During a
walk test alarm activation, the NACs will automatically deactivate after the
programmed amount of time expires.
6.6.1.11 Clock Source
The panel’s AC line frequency is selectable for 60 Hz, 50 Hz, or Internal Clock
Source. AC frequency feature dictates how the control panel will calculate time based
on the AC line frequency used in the installation site. The “Internal Clock” option can
be used in areas where the AC line frequency is not dependable and you want the
panel to calculate time from the internal crystal. The internal crystal is not as accurate
as the AC power source. The panel defaults to the 60 HZ selection.
6.6.1.12 Auto Daylight Savings Time
Select this feature to “Yes” if you want the panel to automatically adjust the clock to
track with daylight savings time.
6.6.1.13 Remote Annunciator
Select this feature to “Yes” if a 5635 Remote Annunciator is to be used. A customized
banner can also be added to the Remote Annunciator. The Remote Annunciator
allows for the top 2 lines to be programmed as a custom banner.

6.6.2Zone Programming
6.6.2.1SLC Addresses Within Each Zone
Each zone has 15 alarm SLC addresses and 5 supervisory SLC addresses assigned
to it as described in table 6.1. For each SLC address within a zone, the SLC device
type choices are Unused, Detector, Manual Pull Switch, Latching Water Flow Switch
or Non-Latching Water Flow Switch. The default setting is that all points are unused.
6.6.2.2Zone Silenceable
When an alarm occurs within a zone, there is a programming option that allows the
outputs to be silenceable or not. If you want the SILENCE key to be able to silence
outputs triggered by active alarms within the zone select YES for this option. The
default setting is Yes.
6.6.2.3Zone Type
A zone can be either a one count zone or an alarm verification zone. The default
setting is one count. A one count zone has an immediate alarm when a single
detector goes into alarm.
Alarm verification is an optional false alarm prevention feature for smoke detectors
that verifies an alarm condition by resetting the smoke detector. If the alarm condition
still exists by the time the reset cycle has completed, the detector will go into alarm. If
the detector is no longer in alarm, the initial alarm is ignored. The alarm verification
sequence for a detector does not occur if the zone is already in alarm.
6.6.3Output Point Programming
For each output SLC address you can select that a device is present or unused. The
default setting for all output points is unused.
The two notification circuits are both defaulted to activate the System Sensor
synchronization pattern when any of the five zones are in alarm. You can define each
of the notification circuits to be either a conventional notification circuit or an auxiliary
power type circuit.
6.6.4.2Conventional Notification Circuit Mapping
When defined as a conventional notification circuit, the circuit can be configured to
activate for any combination of zone alarms and/or supervisories. Select all the
categories you wish to have the circuit activate under.
Conventional Notification Circuit Cadence Pattern
When a conventional notification circuit activates, it can be configured to produce one
of six output patterns.
1. Constant On - 24V DC power
2. ANSI - ANSI temporal pattern
3. AMSECO Sync - Strobe synchronization for AMSECO appliances
4. Gentex Sync - Strobe synchronization for Gentex appliances
5. System Sensor Sync - Strobe synchronization for System Sensor appliances
6. Wheelock Sync - Strobe synchronization for Wheelock appliances
Auxiliary Power Options
Each of the notification circuits can be configured as an auxiliary power circuit in one
of three options.
1. Constant - Always on, 24V DC power.
2. Door Holder - 24V DC when in standby, Off if any alarm device activates, or loss
of AC power.
3. Resettable - 24V DC except for 30 seconds off during panel reset.

6.6.5Relay Programming Options
The two on-board relays of the control panel can be programmed for Auxiliary
Resettable and Auxiliary Door Holder applications. Relay 1 can be selected to
activate for General Supervisory. Relay 2 can be selected to activate for General
Alarm. See Figure 6-1.
Figure 6-1 Relay Programming Option
6.6.5.1General System Relay Silence Option
This option defaults to silenceable. This option controls the silencing behavior for
Relay 1, Relay 2 and the general output relays at SLC addresses 141 through 148.
6.6.6Dialer Phone Line Programming Options
The programming options below are available for each of the two phone lines.
6.6.6.1Line Prefix
This option allows the insertion of digits, delays and special tone characters to be
dialed before the phone number stored in the account option is dialed. The default
setting is to not have any prefix.
6.6.6.2Dial Tone Detection
The default configuration for this option is “Enabled”. If set to “Disabled”, the dialer will
not check for the presence of dial tone on the associated phone line prior to making a
call.
1514506-11
Page 74
Model 5600 Installation and Operation Manual
6.6.6.3Line Monitoring Enabled (Y/N)
This option is used to enable phone line voltage supervision. It defaults to No.
6.6.6.4Dialing Option
The dialer can use touch tone or pulse dialing when calling the central station. The
options for dialing are touch tone only, dial pulse only or alternating touch tone/dial
pulse when multiple attempts are used to connect with the central station. The default
setting is touch tone only.
6.6.6.5Pulse Dialing Format
There are two duty cycle options for the pulse dialing. US format is 60/40. European
format is 66/34. The default setting is the US format.

Programming
6.6.7Dialer Account programming Options
Up to two accounts can be used for reporting events to the central station. A typical
reason to use multiple reporting accounts might be to have one account for reporting
alarms and a different account for reporting supervisories and troubles. The
programming options for each account are described below.
6.6.7.1Account Number
Up to six digits allowed for SIA formats or up to four digits for contact ID format.
Default account numbers are blank.
6.6.7.2Phone Number
Enter the phone number to call the central station. Default setting is blank.
The following special characters are available:
Table 6-4:: Special Dialing Characters
#Pound (or number) key on the telephone
*Star key on the telephone
,Comma (character for 2-second pause)
6.6.7.3Reporting Fo rmat
Choose SIA8 (up to 8 events per call), SIA20 (up to 20 events per call) or contact ID
reporting format. Default setting is contact ID.
6.6.7.4Reporting Filters
Selecting the Must option forces the event type to be reported to the account even if it
was already reported to another account. Selecting the Yes option will insure that the
event type gets to at least one account. Selecting the No option means that the event
type will not be reported to this account. The default setting is No.
Selecting No for all report filters in both accounts effectively disables the dialer.

TROUBLE LED. The PZT will also sound the trouble cadence. If the silence key is
pressed, the trouble LEDs will be continuously on and the PZT will silence.
7.16 Phone Line Monitoring
The control panel monitors the phone line voltage at TELCO1 and TELCO2 when line
monitoring is enabled (see programming section 6.5.6.3). When line monitoring is
enabled and there is not sufficient voltage at TELCO1 or TELCO2, the 7 segment
display will indicate “Ln1” and/or “Ln2” for phone line 1 and phone line 2 troubles.
7.17 Reporting Account Monitoring
When the control panel is configured to use the dialer, the reporting accounts will
indicate trouble if the panel has failed to communicate to the central station after 10
attempts. Account 1 trouble is indicated on the 7 segment display as “AC1”. Account
2 trouble is indicated on the 7 segment display as “AC2”. Once the communication
path to the central station is restored, the account troubles will self restore.
7.18 SLC Fault
In the event that the SLC circuit is shorted or drawing too much current, the panel will
indicate this by displaying “SLC err” on the 7 segment display. Remove the fault and
the trouble will self restore.
7.19 Dialer Error
In the event that the dialer microprocessor is unable to communicate with the main
microprocessor the panel will indicate this by displaying “dlr” on the 7 segment
display. If this trouble is ever displayed, the panel needs to be returned to the factory
for repair.
