Model SK-4224 Fire Control Panel Installation/Operation Manual 4.7.3.5 Mounting the SK-2880 The I/O module must be mounted in a UL Listed enclosure. Follow these steps to mount the SK-2880: 1. Remove the SK-2880’s cover. A small screw driver can be used. 2. Remove the SK-2880 circuit board from the base by pushing outward on the base retaining tabs and lift the circuit board out. See Figure 4-17. Circuit Board Base Retaining Tabs Base Figure 4-17 Circuit Board and Plastic Base Components 3.
Section 5 Notification Expansion Mode The SK-4224 can be used to expand the power capabilities of an existing system’s notification circuits. The SK-4224 does this buy connecting the notification circuits of an existing or host fire alarm control panel to the FACP input of the SK-4224, which can trigger the SK-4224 notification cicuits when the host panel goes into alarm. Note: The SK-4224 does not go into the alarm state when the host control panel triggers the SK-4224’s notification cicuits. 5.
Model SK-4224 Fire Control Panel Installation/Operation Manual 5.2 Class B Notification Expansion Wiring Figure 5-2 shows Class B supervised wiring from a host fire alarm control panel to the SK4224 control panel. Use an EOL resistor as shown in to supervise the FACP input. The host fire alarm control panel may use an EOL with a value other than 4.7 KΩ, used by the SK4224. In this case, use an UL listed EOL for the host panel you are using.
Section 6 System Configuration To configure the SK-4224 system set the dipswitch that controls the option you want to select. The following chart shows how to program the dipswitches that control system, zone, and notification appliance operation. Refer to Figure 3-1 for location of the dipswitches. Important! When you change a dipswitch, be sure to perform a system reset (press [RESET]) or power down the panel. Dipswitch changes will have no effect until after the system has been reset.
