The 6820 Fire Alarm Control/Communicator is an addressable fire control system that meets the requirements of UL 864.
The 6820EVS integrates an Emergency Voice System that meets the requirements of UL 864 and UL 2572.
1.1 Overview of Basic System
The 6820 and 6820EVS base system is an addressable system with a built-in annunciator that can also be used to program the system.
1.1.1 Addressable Fire Alarm Control/Communicator Hardware Features
•
The 6820 and 6820EVS panel contains one built in signaling line circuit (SLC), which supports up to 159 SK sensors and 159 SK
modules or 127 SD SLC devices. Additional SLC loops can be added to increase overall point capacity.
•
Additional 6815 SLC expanders supports 159 SK sensors and 159 SK modules per loop for a maximum of 1110 points per 6820 or
6820EVS control panel.
•
Additional 5815XL SLC expander supports only SD Protocol for a maximum of 635 points per 6820 or 6820EVS control panel.
•
6.0A of output power is available through 6 sets of terminals for notification. Each circuit is power limited per UL 864 and can
source up to 3.0A (total output power must not exceed 6.0A). The constant auxiliary power load must not exceed 3.0A max for
normal standby.
•
Built-in dual phone line, digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT), IP or optional cellular technologies.
•
Reports events to central station by point or by zone.
•
UL Listed for pre-action and deluge releasing systems.
•
Dedicated Form C trouble relay and two general purpose Form C programmable relays.
•
Basic system operation can be performed using a key or a user code.
•
Can be used with up to 16 Model 6860, 5860, or 6855 Remote Annunciators in any combination. (sold separately).
•
Supports the 5865-3, 5865-4, and 5880 in any combination for a total of eight devices on one control panel.
•
Printing of event log available through the Model 5824 serial/parallel printer interface module.
•
Supports conventional 2-wire & 4-wire detectors using the 2 Flexput™ circuits.
•
Add six Flexput™ circuits with each 5895XL Intelligent Power Module. See note below.
•
Add four notification/auxiliary power circuits with each 5496 Intelligent Power Module. See note below.
NOTE: The system can support a maximum of 16 Intelligent Power modules, either the 5895XL or 5496, in any combination.
1.1.2 Common Communication / Annunciation Link System Hardware Features
The common communications and annunciation link allows up to 17 of the 6700, 6808, 6820, and 6820EVS panels to be connected via
copper or fiber optic cable so that a designated panel is the communicator for all panels in the link. This is not a true peer-to-peer net-
work and will not perform like one.
•
The default Common communications link setup can contain up to 17- 6820 / 6820EVS panels connected.
•
Common communications link support for up to 17 Sites.
•
Each building is referred to as a "site".
•
Panels can be interconnected using CLASS B or CLASS A topology.
•
Use the SK-NIC Network Interface Card as a Common communications link. Copper wire or fiber optic cable panel connectivity
can be used within the same linked system.
•
The common communication and annunciation architecture allows a designated panel to be the communicator for all the panels in
the link.
1.1.3 Software Features
•
Advanced smoke detector features:
Automatic drift compensation
Maintenance alert region
Point status meets calibrated smoke test requirements for NFPA 72
•
"JumpStart" feature for easy programming.
•
999 software zones, 999 output groups.
•
Non-volatile event history stores 1000 events.
•
A choice of output patterns available for notification outputs, including Temp 4 and ANSI 3.41 temporal signal.
•
Built-in synchronization appliance support for AMSECO, Gentex
1.1.4 6820EVS Features
•
The EVS-VCM has a built-in Digital Message Repeater.
•
15 EVS messages.
•
SBUS addressable amplifier. The system can support a combination of up to four EVS-50W, EVS-125W, EVS-INT50W or EVS-
100W amplifiers for a maximum of 500 watts per system.
•
On-board supervised microphone.
•
6820EVS can support up to four EVS-LOC's (Local Operator Consoles).
