Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery

This section contains instructions and tables for calculating current draws and standby battery needs.

Worksheet Requirements

The following steps must be taken when determining the 6700 current draw and standby battery requirements. Filling in the Current Draw Worksheet, or Table 3.3

1. For the 6700, the worst-case current draw is listed for the panel, addressable devices, and SLC expanders. Fill in the number of addressable devices and expanders that will be used in the system and compute the current draw requirements for alarm and standby.
2. Add up the current draw for all auxiliary devices and record in the table at Line B.
3. Add up all notification appliance loads and record in the table at Line C.
4. For notification appliances and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual, refer to the device manual for the current ratings.
5. Make sure that the total alarm current calculated, including current for the panel itself, does not exceed 2.5 A. This is the maximum alarm current allowable. If the current is above 2.5A, you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as, the 5496 NAC Expander. Use the expander(s) to distribute the power loads, so that the 6700 or the power expanders do not exceed their power rating. Refer to the Current Draw Worksheets provided with the 5496 Manual to identify the ratings that do not exceed their power requirements.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in the table for determining battery size requirements.

Control Panel Installation

Mounting the Control Panel Cabinet

Read the Environmental Specifications in Section 3.2 before mounting the 6700 panel. The 6700 cabinet base dimensions are: 12.531” W x 14.875” H. The 6700 panel should be located within a secured area, where it is accessible to the main drop wiring runs and where it can be easily tested and serviced. End-users responsible for maintaining the panel should be able to hear alarms and troubles. When you select a location, keep in mind that the panel itself is the main source of alarm and trouble annunciation. When mounting on interior walls, use appropriate screw anchors in plaster. When mounting on concrete, especially when moisture is expected, attach a piece of ¾” plywood to the concrete surface and then attach the 6700 to the plywood. Also, mount any other desired components to the plywood. DO NOT flush-mount the 6700 cabinet in a wall designated as a fire break.

1. Mark and pre-drill a hole in the wall for the top keyhole mounting bolt using the dimensions illustrated below.
2. Install top fasteners in the wall with the screw head protruding.
3. Place backbox over the top screws, level and secure.
4. Mark and drill the left and right lower mounting holes.
5. Install the remaining fasteners and tighten.

Preventing Water Damage

Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under the Warranty.

Removing the 6700 Assembly from the Housing

If it should ever be necessary to remove the control panel assembly from the cabinet for repair, do so by removing the screws that hold the control panel in to the cabinet. Do not attempt to disassemble the circuit boards.

Common Communication Link

Hardware Features

Panels

The 6700 panel can be connected to other 6700 and addressable panels to create a link where one panel is designated as the communicator for all the panels in the link. Up to 17 panels can be connected in the Common Communication Link. This does not create a peer-to-peer network and will not operate as one.SK

Wiring Options to Connect Panels

The 6700 and other applicable addressable panels can be linked together for common communications to the central station. “Sites” are used to allow for individual or common announcements across the link. Up to 17 sites can be activated and programmed for the link.

1. Fiber-Optic Single Mode – Use the SK-NIC and SK-FSL for up to 30dB loss of signal separation. SK-FSL connects to the link. using 9/125 micron single-mode fiber.
   2. Fiber-Optic Multi-Mode – Use the SK-NIC and SK-FM for up to 8dB loss of signal separation SK- FML connects to the link using 62.5/125 micron multi-mode fiber.
2. Twisted-Pair Copper Wire – must use the SK-NIC to provide up to 3,000 feet of separation. All methods of panel connectivity can be used within the same linked system.

Direct Connect Wiring Option

When linking in a group of 6700 panels, you must use the SK-NIC to link the panels together. See Figure 5.1 for external mounting of SKNIC option.

SK-NIC Wiring Options

Linking a group of6700 panels requires the use of a network interface card with each panel. The SK-NIC connects to other linked units using unshielded, twisted-pair wiring or fiber-optic cable.

Fiber Loop Modules

Two types of fiber-optic modules are available to use to transmit and receive communication with the SK-NIC.

The SK-FML (Fiber-Optic Multi-Mode) and SK-FSL (Fiber-Optic Single-Mode) are plug-in fiber loop modules. The two types of fiber-optic modules are used as one channel to transmit or receive communications with the SK-NIC, ARCNET communication circuit. The following describes the two types of fiber-optic modules.

• The SK-FML is a fiber module that allows the multi-mode fiber to link between nodes.
• The SK-FSL is a fiber module that allows a single-mode fiber to link between nodes.

Each fiber loop module can transmit (TX) and receive (RX) fiber-optic cable connecting to the SK-NIC. Up to two fiber loop cards can be added to the SK-NIC, and both cards may be combined in the same configuration. See Figure 5.4.

SK-NIC Mounting Kits

SK-NIC can be mounted in an accessory cabinet. An accessory kit is necessary to install the SK-NIC outside of the 6700 cabinet.

• The SK-NIC-KIT includes a SK-NIC, a small cabinet with a locking door, cable, and mounting hardware.
• The 5815RMK includes a small cabinet with a locking door and mounting hardware.

Troubleshooting Common Problems

Periodic Testing And Maintenance

To ensure proper and reliable operation, it is recommended that the System inspection and testing be scheduled monthly or as required by the national and/or local fire codes. Testing should be done by a qualified services representative if a malfunction is encountered. Before testing:

1. Notify the fire department and/or the Central Alarm Receiving Station if an alarm condition is transmitted.
2. Notify the facility personnel of a test so that the alarm-sounding devices are ignored during the test period.
3. When necessary, activation of notification appliances can be prevented by the DISABLE function.

Testing:

1. Activate an input via an alarm-initiating device and check that the correct outputs activate (notification appliances sound/flash, relays activate, alarm LED lights). Reset the system. Repeat for each alarm-initiating device.
2. Momentarily open the following circuits one at a time and check for a trouble signal:
   • notification appliance (bell) circuits
   • initiating devices
3. If new batteries were installed, wait 48 hours before completing this step. Remove the AC power, activate the initiating device, and check that the following occurs:
   • The ALARM indicator lights.
   • All active notification appliances sound.
     Measure the battery voltage while the notification appliances are sounding. Replace any battery with a terminal voltage less than 85% of the rating. Reapply the AC power and reset the system.
