The IntelliKnight 5820XL is an intelligent addressable fire alarm control
panel designed for flexibility and reliability. With support for a wide
variety of detectors, modules, and accessory devices, the 5820XL is
configurable for a variety of installations.
The 5820XL has one built-in signaling line circuit (SLC) to which all
detectors and modules are connected. Add up to three additional SLCs
with the 5815XL signaling line circuit expanders. Six onboard Flexput™
circuits are individually configurable for auxiliary power, notification
outputs, or conventional smoke detectors. The 5820XL also has a
built-in dual-line digital fire communicator, a Form C trouble relay, and
two programmable Form C general purpose relays.

Target Customers
• Medium to large size customers
• Customers involved in:
- New construction
- Retrofitting existing construction - that is, replacing older or
outmoded fire alarm systems in existing buildings
• Customers in vertical markets such as the healthcare, education,
manufacturing, financial and other similar facilities
Typical Customer Profiles
• Customers with large campus operations
• Customers requiring a cost effective solution to retrofit their facility
with a new fire alarm system
• Customers who require effective monitoring and maintenance tools
for ongoing customer support
Qualifying Questions
1. Are you considering a conventional fire system for your new
installation?
The advanced capabilities of the 5820XL will increase the
effectiveness of your alarm system. With pinpoint addressable
capabilities and advanced maintenance capabilities, the 5820XL
FACP can actually reduce the total installed cost and reduce the
long-term operating expenses associated with the system.
Additionally, it is expandable for future upgrades.
2. Are you considering replacing an older conventional or addressable
system?
The 5820XL does not require special wire or installation strategies
and can often be installed using existing fire system wiring within the
building. This flexibility can be a big savings when installing a retrofit
fire system.
3. Do you want the ability to expand your fire alarm system in a
cost-effective way?
The 5820XL is ideal for growing businesses. If your facility grows,
and your SLC is at maximum capacity, add up to three 5815XLs.
Add the 5895XL intelligent power supply to provide additional power,
connectivity for additional SLCs, or additional accessories.
Selling Strategies

Selling Points

• Analog addressable architecture enhances reliability, pinpoints
problem area, and reduces false alarms
With features like individual point identification, drift compensation,
and maintenance alert this system is designed to help reduce the
number of false alarms and service calls that can be so frustrating
and costly.
• Designed for expandability and flexibility
Comes with a full range of detectors, modules, and power supplies to
meet installation needs. SLC expanders give you the ability to
accommodate a growing business while avoiding the hassle and
expense of getting a new system.
• Critical system programming and event information can be
stored and updated remotely by the installation company
The 5660 Silent Knight Software Suite (SKSS) allows your
installation company to connect to the 5820XL from their offices or at
your location, which means they can efficiently maintain and
troubleshoot the fire system.
• Easy to install
The JumpStart®feature scans all SLC loops and SBUS circuits,
determines device type, adds the device to FACP memory, and
automatically selects some system options based on device type.
This saves the installer from having to program options for each
device. When it comes to wiring the system, the Silent Knight SLC
loop does not require special wire such as shielded wire or twisted
pair, making retrofits a breeze. Because detectors and modules each
have a unique address, troubleshooting is a snap.

Features & Benefits
Built-in support for 127 devices, expandable to
508 devices
Support the minimum or expand to the
maximum number of devices or add devices
in the future.
Uses standard wire. Shielded or twisted pair is
not required
Using standard wire for new installations can
reduce installation time and costs over
shielded or twisted pair. For retrofit
installations, existing wire runs can be used,
eliminating the expense of running new wire.
Upload and download programming
information, event history, and detector status
onsite or from a remote location using SKSS
software
To easily service and maintain the 5820XL
system, your facility manager can view and
save event history to identify any system
problems using 5670 SKSS. Your installer can
program or view event history and detector
status using 5660 SKSS.
Configure Flexput I/O circuits as auxiliary,
notification outputs, or conventional smoke
detector inputs
Patented Flexput circuits let you retrofit an
existing conventional installation, without
additional hardware, so existing detectors do
not have to be replaced.As well, expand
system functionality by adding new devices
that fully are compatible with the 5820XL.
JumpStart autoprogramming adds all devices
connected to the system automatically.
Run when installation is complete to quickly
add all detectors and modules to the system.
Saves installation time.
Nonvolatile event history stores up to 1,000
events Your installer can view event history to assist in troubleshooting and system maintenance.
