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. Silent Knight 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.

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.

Model 5700 Installation and Operation Manual Mapping Overview This section of the manual is an overview of mapping. Details about how to select mapping options appear in the appropriate subsections in Section 7. Mapping is an important concept with the control panel. In general terms, mapping is assigning or linking events to outputs that should activate when events occur.
Programming Overview 6.2.1 Input Point Mapping Input points are assigned to input zones. Any input point can be assigned to any input zone. (Input points can be assigned to one zone only. An input point can be designated as "Unused," which means it has not been assigned to a zone.) Figure 6-2 Input Point Assignment Example 151295...
Model 5700 Installation and Operation Manual 6.2.2 Output Circuit Mapping Figure 6-3 is a simple example showing how to assign notification and relay output circuits to groups. For an example of a simple floor above/floor below application, see Figure 6-5.
Programming Overview 6.2.3 Zone Event Mapping There are 8 types of events that can occur in zones (see below). For each event type, you can activate up to 8 output groups and patterns. If it is necessary to map to more than 8 output groups, an output group template may be used (see Section 7.4.5 for information on output group templates).
