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 ar e 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.

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
1-4
Model 5700 Installation and Operation Manual
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 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.
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.

Introduction151295
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.

•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 5700 current draw and standby battery requirements.
1.For the 5700, the worst case current draw is listed for the panel, addressable devices, and all SBUS expanders. 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
2.5 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the 5700 control panel.
If the current is above 2.5 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as the Silent Knight
5496 intelligent power module, to distribute the power loads so that the 5700 or the power expanders do not
exceed their power rating. Refer to the current draw worksheets provided with the 5496 manual so you do
not exceed their power requirements.
6.Complete the remaining instructions in the Current Calculation Worksheet for determining battery size
requirements.

3.6.2Current Draw Worksheet for SK SLC Devices
Use Table 3-2 to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation when SK SLC devices
are installed. (Copy the page if additional space is required.) You can install up to 50 SK detectors and 50 SK
modules.

1. Total does not include isolator devices or accessory bases.
2. If using door holders, you do not need to consider door holder current for alarm/battery standby, because power is removed
during that time. However, during normal operation, door holders draw current and must be included in the 2.5A total current
that can be drawn from the panel.
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 SK-Duct.
6. The FACP can only support 5 devices w/LED’s on. This current draw has been added to the panels alarm current.
3.6.3Current Draw Worksheet for SD SLC Devices
Use Table 3-3 to determine current requirements during alarm/battery standby operation when SD SLC devices
are installed. (Copy the page if additional space is required).

3.6.4Maximum Battery Standby Load
The table below shows the maximum battery standby load for the 5700 based on 24 and 60 hours of standby. The
standby load calculations of line D in the Current Draw Calculation Worksheet (Table 3-3) must be less than the
number shown in the table below for the battery size used and standby hours required.

(DACT).
Warning!
Silent Knight does not support the use of batteries smaller than those listed in table above. If you use a battery too small
for the installation, the system could overload the battery resulting in the installation having less than the required 24
hours standby power. Use the Current Calculation Worksheet to calculate the correct battery amperes/hour rating needed
for your installation.

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 5700 panel.
The 5700 cabinet dimensions are: 12¾” 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 5700 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. End-users 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 5700 to the plywood. Also mount any other desired components to the plywood.
151295
DO NOT flush-mount the 5700 cabinet 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 5700 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.
4.1.3Dead Front Installation and removal
This section provides instructions to install and or remove the optional dead front (DF-50) for the control panel
cabinet.
