SLC loop expander for SK and IDP devices (Silent Knight 6000 Series and Farenhyt Black)

Description

The 6815 is a Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) expander for use with Honeywell's Silent Knight 6000 Series and Farenhyt Black fire alarm control panels (FACPs) using the System Sensor® (SK/IDP) protocol. The 6815 has the same functionality as the SLC built into Silent Knight 6000 Series and Farenhyt Black fire alarm panels and supports the same number of devices as the panel's SLC. Additional 6815s support 159 IDP or SK detectors and 159 IDP or SK modules. The number of 6815 SLCs that can be used within a system depends on the maximum number of points offered by the panel. They provide powerful versatility for custom configurations in large and complex installations.

The 6815 also supports SWIFT® wireless devices. SWIFT wireless devices communicate with the FACP via a gateway (WSK-WGI/WIDP-WGI) that connects to the SLC using the SK or IDP protocol. The panel's SLC, or a 6815 loop expander, can be used for this purpose. SWIFT devices can also be combined with wired devices on the same SLC for added versatility. The result is greater flexibility and design options when wiring is an issue.

The 6815 communicates with the FACP via an RS-485 BUS. A green LED on the 6815 indicates good communication. If an addressable device on the 6815 fails, the loop communicates the fault to the FACP and continues to operate normally.
