The 6820U is the latest intelligent addressable FACP (Fire Alarm Control Panels) from Silent Knight and is a direct replacement for the 6820/5820XL FACP. The FACP has one built-in SLC (signaling line circuit), which can support 159 System Sensor® SK detectors and 159 SK
modules, or 127 Hochiki® SD protocol devices. Additional SLC loops can be added for a maximum of 1110 (SK) or 635 (SD) points per panel.
The built-in digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT) is dual technology, IP and POTS. The POTS transmits system status (alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the public switched telephone network. The IP communicator’s internet monitoring
capability sends alarm signals over the Internet saving the monthly cost of two dedicated business telephone lines. Although not required, the secondary telephone line may be retained providing backup communication over the public switched telephone line. Optional
cellular reporting is available.
The 6820U has eight onboard Flexput® circuits that can be configured as notification outputs or auxiliary power. The 6820U also has a form-C trouble relay, and two programmable form-C relays, along with powerful features such as drift compensation, pretrouble maintenance alert, a built-in sensor test to comply with NFPA 72 calibration testing requirements, and a calibration trouble alert.
A common communications and annunciation link allows up to 17 panels to be connected via copper wire or fiber optic cable. A designated panel is configured as the communicator for all panels in the link for convenient single-point communications.
