The 5495 fa panel has power but will not turn on

The SILENT KNIGHT 5495 may not turn on despite having power due to several possible reasons:
1. Trouble Relay Activation: If the trouble relay detects a fault, it may deactivate, preventing operation. 2. Incorrect DIP Switch Settings: Incorrect configuration of DIP switches, such as Switch 5 for auxiliary power, may cause issues. The unit only checks these settings during power-up, so power must be completely removed and restored after changes. 3. Wiring Issues: Improper wiring, especially with the control panel or notification appliances, can prevent the unit from functioning. Consulting the installation manual is necessary for correct wiring. 4. Loss of AC Power: If the unit is set to delay reporting AC loss (default 6 hours), the issue may not be immediately apparent. Testing mode (Switch 4 ON) can confirm AC power status.
Checking these factors can help diagnose why the panel is not turning on.
Section 1 Introduction The 5495 is a notification appliance circuit and auxiliary power expander that provides up to 6 amps of filtered, 24 volt power for powering notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The 5495 provides its own AC power connection, battery charging circuit, and battery connections. Used with security and fire alarm control panels, the 5495 enables you to connect and distribute power to many more devices than your panel may normally allow.
151161 Section 3 System Overview CAUTION Each output circuit is rated at 3 amps. DO NOT OVERLOAD. Overloading a circuit will cause it to shut down (power limit). The circuit will automatically reset once you remove the overload condition. Terminal Descriptions and Electrical Ratings Terminal # Description Ratings...
Terminals 3 through 10 are the notification appliance circuit output terminals. Each of the four circuits are rated at 3 amps, although you can only draw a total of 6 amps from the 5495. The 5495 outputs are short-circuit protected (power limited) according to UL 864 standards. Overcurrent indicators are yellow LEDs. The output voltage can vary depending on the load and input voltage.

Section 4 Installation Before installing the 5495, the AC input must first be wired into the building’s main electrical power through the TB1 terminals (see Figure 4-2). Shut off the electrical power to the 5495, and then complete the general installation of the 5495 using the information in this section.
Batteries used with the 5495 must not exceed 35AH. (33AH max. for FM (Factory Mutual) Installations). Batteries larger than 7 AH will not fit into the 5495 cabinet and must be housed in the RBB Remote Battery Box. See Section 4.7 for battery installation.
Page 11
The above numbers were calculated assuming the use of 7 AH batteries at 100% of rated capacity. The total current of the 5495, plus all items powered from it, must not exceed 6 A when the panel is in alarm. Use Table 4-2 to ensure that the current does not exceed 6 A and, that the desired amount of standby is possible for the battery intended for use with the 5495.

Common Trouble Relay The 5495 has a Form C trouble relay built into Terminals 11-13. The relay provides a normally open and a normally closed contact, both of which are rated at 2.5A. The trouble relay will deactivate under any trouble condition.

Class B Supervised Wiring Figure 4-5 shows how to wire for Class B input and output supervision. Use in/out wiring methods for proper supervision (Refer to the Appendix for notification appliances approved for use with the 5495.) Class B Output Notification Circuits Figure 4-5 shows four, 1.5 A devices wired as Class B.
Use an EOL resistor as shown to enable notification appliance circuit input supervision. Some panels use EOLs that have a different value from the 4.7k ohm EOL resistor used by the 5495. In this case, the EOL must be UL listed for the fire alarm control panel (not the 5495).
The position of Switches 4 and 5 does not affect the relationship of inputs to outputs. Note: The 5495 checks switches 1, 2, 3, and 6 only when powering up the 5495. If you change these switch settings, you must 4-13...
151161 remove both the AC power and the battery to make the 5495 recognize the new settings. Figure 4-7 Setting DIP Switches 1-3 Figure 4-8 Setting DIP Switches 1-3 (Continued) Note: For 100 mS input signal debounce with no synchronization DIP switches 6 and 7 must be turned On.
The 5495 can also produce temporal patterns if the inputs are non-ANSI temporal configurations. 4.8.2 Selecting Synchronized Output Configurations The following sections describe how to configure the 5495 as a synchronization power expander for Amseco, Faraday, Gentex, System Sensor, or Wheelock synchronized horn/strobe appliances. Note: In order for the synchronization feature to operate properly, make sure you have set the DIP switches for the proper manufacturer.
151161 4.8.2.2 Selecting Synchronized Gentex Configurations To select the input/outputs for Gentex synchronized appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-10. Figure 4-10 Gentex Synchronized Configurations 4.8.2.3 Selecting Synchronized System Sensor Configurations To select the input/outputs for System Sensor synchronized appliances, set the DIP switches as shown in Figure 4-11.
Switch 5 on the DIP switch determines how the auxiliary power operates on the 5495. The 5495 checks Switch 5 only when powering up the 5495. If you change this switch, you must remove both the AC power and the battery to force the 5495 to recognize the new switch setting.
