1.1 Overview of Basic System
The IntelliKnight 5820 base system is packaged as an assembled stack of 3 circuit boards
mounted to an aluminum housing.
1.1.1 Hardware Features
• The basic IntelliKnight 5820 panel contains one SLC (Signaling Line Circuit) which
supports 127 analog addressable devices (points). Additional loops can be added using the
Model 5815 SLC Expander to increase overall point capacity to 381 points (127 points per
5815).
• 5.0A of output power is available through 6 sets of terminals for notification and auxiliary
applications. Each circuit is power limited per UL 864 and can source up to 3.0A (total
output power for all 6 circuits must not exceed 5.0A).
• Built-in dual phone line, digital alarm communicator/transmitter (DACT).
• Dedicated Form C trouble relay.
• Two general purpose Form C programmable relays.
• Basic system operation can be performed using a key or a user code.

• Can be used with Model 5865-3, 5865-4, and 5880 in any combination for a total of eight
devices on one control panel.
• Printing of detector status, event history, and real time event log available through the
Model 5824 Serial / Parallel Interface (sold separately).
• Supports conventional 2-wire & 4-wire detectors using the 6 I/O circuits.
• Add 6 Flexput™ with each 5895 Intelligent Power Module (up to 8 5895s per system).
• 125 software zones, 250 output groups.
