Overview
1.1 5895XL Description
The Model 5895XL Intelligent Power Module provides additional power and circuits to
the IntelliKnight 5820XL FACPs. The 5895XL can power all IntelliKnight compatible
modules, including SLC devices (via a Model 5815XL SLC Expander), remote
annunciators (Model 5860); notification appliances, auxiliary power modules, and all
other compatible modules.
Note: The 5808 does not use 5815XL SLC expanders.
The 5895XL has six Flexputs™ and two programmable relays. Outputs are rated 3.0
A (6.0 A total for each 5895XL). Relays are Form C rated at 2.5 A @ 24 VDC.
Outputs and relays are fully programmable.
The 5895XL is optically isolated, providing ground loop isolation and transient
protection. It functions as an SBUS repeater which conditions the RS-485 signal and
allows the module to drive up to 6,000 feet of additional SBUS wiring.
The 5895XL is housed in a metal cabinet that is identical in size to the IntelliKnight
5820XL FACP cabinet. This cabinet is large enough to house two 17 AH batteries.
Like the 5820XL cabinets, the 5895XL cabinet provides mounting studs for two Model
5815XL SLC Expander modules.
The 5895XL communicates to the main IntelliKnight FACP via the SBUS. Each
5895XL provides an additional 6,000 feet of SBUS wiring length to the main panel. As
the drawings on the next pages illustrate, this allows you to distribute modules, SLC
devices, and outputs throughout an extremely large facility.
As well as expanding the wiring length capabilities of IntelliKnight, the 5895XL also
expands IntelliKnight’s power capabilities by an additional 6.0 A of current.

Before You Begin Installing
2.1 What’s in the Box?
The Model 5895XL ships with the following hardware:
• A cabinet with all hardware assembled
• Two keys for the front door
• Ten 4.7K ohm end-of-line resistors
Note: For UL installations Model 7628 4.7kend-of-line resistor (ordered separately) must be used.
• A battery cable for batteries wired in series
2.2 Environmental Specifications
It is important to protect the 5895XL control panel from water. To prevent water
damage, the following precautions should be FOLLOWED when installing the units:
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls, especially masonry walls (condensation)
• Do not mount directly on exterior walls below grade (condensation)
• Protect from plumbing leaks
• Protect from splash caused by sprinkler system inspection ports
• Do not mount in areas with humidity-generating equipment (such as dryers, pro-
duction machinery)
When selecting a location to mount the 5895XL, the unit should be mounted where it
will NOT be exposed to temperatures outside the range of 0°C-49°C (32°F-120°F) or
humidity outside the range of 10%-93% at 30°C (86°F) non-condensing.
2.3 Preventing Water Damage
Water damage to the fire system can be caused by moisture entering the cabinet
through the conduits. Conduits that are installed to enter the top of the cabinet are
most likely to cause water problems. Installers should take reasonable precautions to
prevent water from entering the cabinet. Water damage is not covered under
warranty.

2.6 Calculating Current Draw and Standby Battery
This section is for helping you determine the current draw and standby battery needs
for your installation.
2.6.1 Worksheet Requirements
The following steps must be taken when determining 5895XL current draw and
standby battery requirements.
Filling in the Current Draw Worksheet, Table 2-4 (Section 2.6.2)
1. For the 5895XL, 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 require-
ments for alarm and standby. Record this information in Table 2-4 at Line A.
2. Add up the current draw for all auxiliary devices and record in the table at Line B.
3. Add up all notification appliance loads and record in the table at Line C.
4. For notification appliances and auxiliary devices not mentioned in the manual,
refer to the device manual for the current ratings.
5. Make sure that the total alarm current you calculated, including current for the
panel itself, does not exceed 6.0 A. This is the maximum alarm current allowable.
6. Complete the remaining instructions in Table 2-4 for determining battery size
requirements.
2.6.1.1 Maximum Battery Standby Load
Table 2-3 shows the maximum battery standby load for the 5895XL based on 24 and
60 hours of standby. The standby load calculations of line G in the Current Draw
Calculation Worksheet (Table 2-4) must be less than the number shown in Table 2-3
for the battery size used and standby hours required.

* Use a separate worksheet for each 5895XL.
** If you are using door holders, you do not need to consider door holder current for alarm/battery standby, because
power is removed during that time. However, during normal operation, door holders draw current and must be
included in the 6.0 A total current that can be drawn from the panel.
*** Use next size battery with capacity greater than required.
2.7 Wiring Specifications
2.7.1 Length Limitations
This section contains information on calculating SBUS wire distances and the types
of wiring configurations (Class A and B).
2.7.2 Calculating Wiring distance for SBUS modules
The following instructions will guide you in determining the type of wire and the
maximum wiring distance that can be used with SBUS accessory modules.
To calculate the wire gauge that must be used to connect SBUS modules to the
panel, it is necessary to calculate the total worst case current draw for all modules on
a single 4-conductor bus. The total worst case current draw is calculated by adding
the individual worst case currents for each module. The individual worst case values
are shown in the table below.
Note: Total worst case current draw on a single SBUS cannot exceed 1 amp. If a large number of
accessory modules are required, and the worst case current draw will exceed the 1 amp limit,
then the current draw must be distributed using 5895XL Power Expanders. Each 5895XL Power
Expander provides an additional SBUS, with an additional 1 amp of SBUS current. Wiring
distance calculations are done separately for each 5895XL, and separately for the panel itself.
After calculating the total worst case current draw, Table 2-5 specifies the maximum
distance the modules can be located from the panel on a single wire run. The table
insures 6.0 volts of line drop maximum. In general, the wire length is limited by
resistance, but for heavier wire gauges, capacitance is the limiting factor.
Model Number Worst Case Current Draw
5860 Fire Annunciator .100 amps
5824 Parallel/Serial Interface .040 amps
5880 LED IO Expander .250 amps
5865 LED Fire Annunciator .200 amps
5895XL Intelligent Power Supply .010 amps
5496 Intelligent Power Module .010 amps

These cases are marked in the chart with an asterisk (*). Maximum length can never
be more than 6,000 feet, regardless of gauge used. (The formula used to generate
this chart is shown in the note below).
Note: The following formulas were used to generate the wire distance chart:

Wiring Distance calculation example:
Suppose a system is configured with the following SBUS modules:
2 - Module 5860 Fire Annunciator
1 - 5895XL Intelligent Power Expander
1 - 5865 LED Fire Annunciator
1 - 5824 Parallel/Serial Interface
The total worst case current is calculated as follows:
Using this value, and referring to the Wiring Distance table, it can be found that the
available options are:
370 feet maximum using 22 Gauge wire
938 feet maximum using 18 Gauge wire
1493 feet maximum using 16 Gauge wire
2362 feet maximum using 14 Gauge wire
5860 Current Draw = 2 x .100 amps = .200 amps
5895XL Current Draw = 1 x .010 amps = .010 amps
5865 Current Draw = 1 x .200 amps = .200 amps
5824 Current Draw = 1 x .040 amps = .040 amps
Total Worst Case Current Draw = .450 amps

Hardware Installation
5895XL installation involves the following steps:
• AC power (Section 3.1) and backup battery connection (Section 3.2).
• Physical connection to the IntelliKnight 5820XL FACP or to the controlling 5895XL
(see Section 3.3).
• Setting an ID for the 5895XL (Section 3.3.1).
• Physical connection of SBUS modules that will be powered by this 5895XL
(Section 3.4).
• Physical connection of any outputs (conventional relays, notification appliances,
auxiliary power modules, and so on) that will be powered by this 5895XL. See
Section 3.5.1 for notification appliance wiring information. Refer to the IntelliKnight
5820XL Installation Manual (P/N 151209), for software configuration information
and other information about installing outputs.
3.1 AC Power
At installation, connect the AC terminals to 120 VAC source as shown in Figure 3-1. It
may be necessary for a professional electrician to make this connection.
The AC terminals are rated as 120 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz, 2.7 A.
