Common Communication Link

5.1

Hardware Features

6820/EVS panels can be networked to create a virtual system that is larger than 1,110 addressable points. Each
additional 6820/EVS provides another 1,110 addressable points to the network total. For example, a network of
17- 6820/EVS panels provides a maximum addressable point capacity of 18,870 points (1,110 x 17 = 18,870 SK
devices).
5.1.1

Panels

6820/EVS 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 annunciation across the link. Up to 17 sites
can be activated and programmed for the link.
5.1.2

Wiring Options to Connect Panels

1. Fiber Optic Single Mode - must 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 - must use the SK-NIC and SK-FML for up to 8dB loss of signal separation. SK-
FML connects to the link using 62.5/125 micron multi-mode fiber
3. Twisted Pair Copper Wire - must use the SK-NIC to provide up to 3000 feet of separation.
All methods of panel connectivity can be used within the same linked system.
