Description
The 6820EVS Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) and its advanced accessories are engineered to meet the specifications for Mass Notification Systems under UL 2572. Serving as an intelligent addressable solution, the 6820EVS FACP integrates seamlessly with an Emergency Voice System (EVS) to replace the older 5820XL-EVS models. Once the emergency voice features are activated, they synchronize with the fire alarm and voice evacuation functionalities. The system features an onboard supervised microphone for executing emergency voice operations. Quick-selection buttons allow for easy activation of all-call and non-active call functions. Furthermore, the system supports emergency message broadcasting during a fire event.
The panel includes one built-in signaling line circuit (SLC), capable of supporting up to 159 SK detectors, 159 SK modules, or 127 SD protocol devices. Expandability options allow for adding more SLC loops, accommodating a maximum of 1110 SK or 635 SD points per panel. The integrated digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT) offers dual technology options: IP and POTS. While the POTS option facilitates system status transmissions (alarms, troubles, AC loss, etc.) to a Central Station via the public switched telephone network, the IP communicator provides internet monitoring capabilities, reducing the monthly expense associated with two dedicated business phone lines. For enhanced reliability, a secondary telephone line can be utilized as a backup. Additionally, the system supports optional cellular reporting.
The 6820EVS is equipped with six Flexput circuits, configurable as either notification outputs or auxiliary power supply, a form-C trouble relay, and two programmable form-C relays. Key features include drift compensation, pretrouble maintenance alerts, a built-in sensor test meeting NFPA 72 calibration requirements, and a calibration trouble alert. A unified communications and annunciation link facilitates connectivity for up to 17 panels via copper or fiber optic cable, with a single designated panel serving as the central communicator for streamlined communication across the network.
