1.1.1 Hardware Features • The basic 6820 panel contains one built-in signaling line circuit (SLC), which supports up to 159 SK sensors and 159 SK modules or 127 SD SLC devices. Additional SLC loops can be added to increase overall point capacity.
The term module is used for all hardware devices except for SLC addressable devices and notification appliances. This includes the 6820 panel itself and the built-in power supply. It also refers to any (optional) 5815XL or 6815 SLC expansion modules.
Type of Device Model Description Miscellaneous 7860 Telephone Cord RJ31X cord for connecting phone line to the 6820 HFSS Honeywell Fire For communication and panel programming with a Windows-based computer. Software Suite Enables remote viewing of detector status and event history.
Since the 6820 is a commercial fire alarm panel, it must be connected upstream of all other equipment utilizing the phone lines. If you have questions about the installation, contact your telephone company or a qualified installer.
Use both phone lines. Enable phone line monitors for both lines. You must program a phone number and a test time so that the 6820 shall automatically initiate and complete a test signal transmission sequence to its associated receiver at least once every 6 hours, using two phones or one phone line with Ethernet/cellular backup.

The following steps must be taken when determining 6820 current draw and standby battery requirements. For the 6820, 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.
Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including current for the panel itself, does not exceed 9.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current for the 6820 control panel. If the current is above 9.0 A you will need to use a notification power expander(s) such as the 5496 or the 5895XL intelligent power expander, to distribute the power loads so that the 6820 or the power expanders do not exceed their power ratings.
