How do I add a remote annunciator or expansion module to the 5820XL using the SBUS?

To add a module, connect it to the panel's SBUS terminals (A, B, +, and -), assign a unique ID via DIP switches, and register the device through programming. Ensure the total current draw on a single SBUS run does not exceed 1.0 amp; if exceeded, use a 5895XL Power Expander to provide an additional 1.0 amp bus (Page 39) [1].

1. Power down the FACP before making any connections (Page 41) [1].

2. Mount the module in the desired location (Page 41, 56) [1].

3. Wire the module to the SBUS terminals using 4-conductor wire (Page 39, 41) [1].

4. Set a unique SBUS ID (1-31) using the on-board DIP switches (Page 41, 56) [1].

5. Power up the system and run JumpStart to automatically add the module, or add it manually through the programming menu (Page 41, 56) [1].

The system supports up to 8 (5820XL) or 12 (5820XL-EVS) 5860 Remote Annunciators, 3 5815XL SLC Expanders, and 2 5824 Serial/Parallel Modules (Page 15, 41, 58) [1].
