Introduction
The 6808 Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) is an addressable fire control system that meets the requirements of UL 864.
1.1 Overview of Basic System
The 6808 base system is an addressable system with a built-in annunciator that can also be used to program the system.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
•
The 6808 has one signaling line circuit (SLC) that supports 99 SK detectors and 99 SK modules or 127 SD protocol devices.
•
6.0A of output power is available through 4 sets of terminals for notification. Each circuit is power limited per UL 864 and can
source up to 3.0A. The constant auxiliary power load must not exceed 3.0A max for normal standby.
•
Built-in dual phone line, digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT), IP or optional cellular technologies.
•
Reports events to central station by point or by zone.
•
UL Listed for pre-action and deluge releasing systems.
•
Two general purpose Form C programmable relays.
•
One Form C Trouble Relay.
•
Basic system operation can be performed using a key or a user code.
•
Can be used with up to 12 - Model 6860, 5860, or 6855 Remote Annunciators (sold separately).
•
Can be used with Model 5865-3, 5865-4, and 5880 in any combination for a total of eight devices on one control panel. See
Sections 4.9 and Section 4.10 for additional information on these models.
•
Printing of event log available through the Model 5824 serial/parallel printer interface module.
•
250 software zones, 250 output groups.
•
Add notification/auxiliary power circuits with each 5496 NAC Expander or 5895XL Power supply.
NOTE: The system can support a maximum of eight Intelligent Power modules, either the 5895XL or 5496, in any combination.
1.1.2 Common Communication / Annunciation Link System Hardware Features
The common communications and annunciation link allows up to 17 of the 6700, 6808, 6820, and 6820EVS panels to be connected via
copper or fiber optic cable so that a designated panel is the communicator for all panels in the link. This is not a true peer-to-peer net-
work and will not perform like one.
•
The default Common communications link setup can contain up to 17- 6808 panels connected.
•
Common communications link support for up to 17 Sites.
•
Each building is referred to as a "site".
•
Panels can be interconnected using CLASS B or CLASS A topology.
•
Use the SK-NIC Network Interface Card as a Common communications link. Copper wire or fiber optic cable panel connectivity
can be used within the same linked system.
•
The common communication and annunciation architecture allows a designated panel to be the communicator for all the panels in
the link.
1.1.3 Software Features
•
Advanced smoke detector features:
–Automatic drift compensation
–Maintenance alert region
–Point status meets calibrated smoke test requirements for NFPA 72
®
•
"JumpStart
" feature for easy programming
•
Non-volatile event history stores 1000 events
•
A choice of output patterns available for notification outputs, including Temp 4 along with ANSI 3.41 temporal signal
•
Built-in synchronization appliance support for AMSECO, Gentex
