2.2.1 Requirements for All Installations
General requirements are described in this section. When installing an individual device, refer to the specific section of the manual for addi-
tional requirements. The following subsections list specific requirements for each type of installation (for example, Central Station Fire
Alarm systems, Local Protected Fire Alarm systems, and so on). See Section 9.6 for information on releasing operation.
1. All field wiring must be installed in accordance with NFPA 70 National Electric Code.
2. Use the addressable smoke detectors specified in the SLC Wiring Manual and/or conventional detectors listed in the Device
Compatibility Document.
3. Use UL listed notification appliances compatible with the 6820 from those specified in the Device Compatibility Document.
4. A full system checkout must be performed any time the panel is programmed.
Restricted Options:
• The loss of AC signal is defaulted to 3 hours, but the system still allows settings from 0 - 30 hours. For UL certified installations, this
number must be set from 1 to 3 hours.
• The system allows the use of non-latching, spot type smoke detectors. This feature may not be used in commercial applications
whereby a general alarm is sounded. It is intended for elevator recall, door holding applications, and hotel/motel room applications.
• The system allows the Alarm Verification confirmation time to be set from 60 to 250 seconds. For UL certified installations the setting
must be a minimum of 60 seconds.
• The systems allows the Auto-resound time to be set to 24 or 4 hours. For UL certified installations that are utilizing SWIFT devices, the
value must be set to 4 hours.
• Call forwarding shall not be used.
• When two count is used: detector spacing shall be cut in half, you shall not use the alarm verification feature, and no delay shall be used.
• P.A.S. (positive alarm sequence) feature shall be used only with automatic detectors.
2.2.2 UL 864 9th and 10th Edition
• Per the UL Continuing Certification Program, UL 864 9th edition fire alarm control equipment will retain certification after the roll-out
of UL 10th edition (12/2/2018).
• Installations of UL 864 10th Edition certified equipment are permitted to use UL864 9th Edition certified equipment when approved by
the local Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
For product compliance, refer to the UL/ULC listing cards located on the UL online certification directory. https://iq.ulprospector.com
2.2.3 Requirements for Central Station Fire Alarm Systems
1. Use both phone lines. Enable phone line monitors for both lines.
2. You must program a phone number and a test time so that the 6820 shall automatically initiate and complete a test signal transmission
sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hours, using two phones or one phone line with Ethernet/cellular backup.
3. The AC Loss Hours option must be set from 1-3 hours.
4. If using wired Ethernet or cellular, you must program the corresponding account/subscriber ID and a test time so that the FACP shall
automatically initiate a test signal transmission sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hours.
2.2.4 Requirements for Local Protected Fire Alarm Systems
At least one UL listed supervised notification appliance must be used.
2.2.5 Requirements for Remote Station Protected Fire Alarm Systems
Minimum system requirements are one Silent Knight addressable initiating device and either a 5220, Keltron 3158, or the built-in Digital
Alarm Communicator Transmitter (DACT).
1. Do not exceed the current draw load restrictions shown in Section 3.5.
2. The AC Loss Hours option must be set from 1-3 hours.
2.2.6 Requirements for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning
Equipment, NFPA 720
When using carbon monoxide detection the system must be monitored by a Supervising Station with emergency response, both aspects meet-
ing the Standard for the Installation of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Detection and Warning Equipment, NFPA 720.
