Network Programming This section of the manual describes how to program network options using the built-in annunciator. All options described in this section can be programmed using the HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite. To edit site assignments, HFSS must be utilized.
An installer at the panel site can initiate communications between the panel and a computer running the HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite (see also Section 10.1). In order for this communication to function properly, both the computer (running the software) and the control panel must have matching computer access numbers and computer codes.

The WSK-WGI Wireless Gateway acts as a bridge between a group of wireless fire devices and a SLC loop on the 6820 /6820EVS. It is powered by the SLC loop or by a regulated, external 24VDC UL-listed power supply. Available wireless devices include a photo detector, a photo/heat detector, a fixed-temperature heat detector, a rate-of-rise detector, and a monitor module.
SK Modules The 6820 or 6820EVS SLC can be programmed to operate in SK mode. While shielded wire is not required, it is recommended that all SLC wiring be twisted-pair to minimize the effects of electrical interference. Use Table 7- 4 to determine the specific wiring requirements for the SLC.

Model 6820 / 6820-EVS Installation Manual LS10144-001SK-E Figure 7-1 and Figure 7-2 show how wire length is determined for out & back tap and T-Tap. Figure 7-1 Calculating wire run length for a simple out and back When using T-taps, the total length of all taps and the main bus must not exceed 40,000 feet. This requirement must be met in addition to the maximum distance requirements for the various wire gauges.
LS10144-001SK-E SK, SD and SWIFT™ Wireless SLC Device Installation 7.5.4 Wiring 5815XL or 6815 in Class A Configuration Figure 7-3 illustrates how to wire the SLC loop for Class A installations. Note: Class A wiring also requires an isolator module as the first device on the in and the out loops. Note: No t-taps allowed on class A SLC loops.

Model 6820 / 6820-EVS Installation Manual LS10144-001SK-E Mapping Overview This section of the manual is a high level overview of mapping. Mapping is an important concept with the control panel. In general terms, mapping is assigning or linking events to outputs that will activate when events occur. You do this by assigning input points to input zones, output points to output groups and then linking or mapping zones and output groups.
LS10144-001SK-E Programming Overview 8.2.1 Input Point Mapping Input points are assigned to input zones, as the example in Figure 8-2 shows. Any input point can be assigned to any input zone. (Input points can be assigned to one zone only. An input point can be designated as “Unused,” which means it has not been assigned to a zone).

10.5.1 System Control The 6820 or 6820EVS control panel integrates both a fire and emergency system into one. When events are active from both systems the control panel makes intelligent decisions to determine which system should be controlling outputs. This is called System Control. This manual will refer to the fire or emergency systems having System Control, this means that the system has an active alarm or supervisory event that has a higher event priority than an active alarm or supervisory event from the other system.
By default, these events do not have a priority - they can be activated in any order. A programming option in HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite exists to force a priority scheme for the LOC EVS Alarm Events. When this option is enabled, the lower numbered the EVS event is, the higher priority it has (e.g. LOC EVS 1 Alarm is higher priority than LOC EVS 8 Alarm).

LS10144-001SK-E System Operation 10.9 Function Keys The function keys (on the 6860 only) have multiple features. Their macro key functionality can simplify the disabling, activating, or inhibiting points or groups respectively. They can also be used as a status type activation event and for activating Map Inhibit.
The F-Keys have the ability to disable event - output group mapping for the purpose of simulating that the map doesn’t exist. This can be setup to allow for testing purposes where notification of an entire building is not desired during the test. This option is programmable for each output group map through HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite.
There are two ways for activating EVS in the 6820EVS panel: EVS Point Activations EVS Point Activation involves using pre-determined EVS Alarm input points to activate EVS Alarm events.
LS10144-001SK-E Emergency Voice System Operation the system. 11.2.1.3 EVS Message Keys EVS Message Keys are used in Message Mode to select which EVS Message is to be played. If pressed when the LOC does not have EVS Control, the system will automatically try to gain EVS Control before allowing the EVS Event to be activated.
User profile access control. 11.2.2.1 LOC Priority LOCs are assigned (through panel or HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite programming of the EVS-VCM or EVS-RVM) an LOC priority of low, normal, or high. LOCs with a higher priority are always able to gain control from a lower priority LOC.
LS10144-001SK-E Emergency Voice System Operation The user at the second LOC requests EVS Control from the LOC with EVS Control and that LOC grants the request. (See Section 11.2.7). If the EVS lockout timer expires while an EVS Control request is in progress, the system will automatically pass EVS Control to the requesting LOC.
Non-voice output groups can also be assigned to Select Keys and will toggle on/off using the activation cadence assigned to it in output group programming. This is available in the panel and in HFSS Honeywell Fire Software Suite. See Section 9.4.1.2. 11.2.4...
