80-Character LCD Remote Annunciator with Full Panel Control, RS-485 Communication, and Multi-Location Support for IntelliKnight Fire Alarm Systems
The Silent Knight 5860R is an 80-character LCD remote fire alarm annunciator that extends full control of IntelliKnight fire alarm panels to up to twelve locations throughout a building. The backlit LCD display provides clear, real-time system status information, and the ergonomic keypad with tactile and audible feedback allows authorized personnel to perform all panel operations including system reset, alarm silence, fire drill activation, and full programming from any annunciator location. The 5860R communicates with the fire alarm panel over an RS-485 system bus with wire runs up to 6,000 feet.
The 5860R is manufactured by Honeywell under the Silent Knight brand and is compatible with IntelliKnight panels including the 5820XL, 5820XL-EVS, 5808, and 5700 addressable fire alarm control panels. Access is secured through a firefighter's key or user code for standard operations, and programming functions require a separate installer code to prevent unauthorized changes. The red housing measures 9.1 x 7.4 x 1.5 inches and operates on 24V DC power from the fire alarm system bus. The interface is identical to the panel's built-in annunciator, so building staff and first responders operate it with the same familiarity as the main panel.
Where the 5860R Fits
- Multi-story commercial buildings and corporate campuses where fire code requires remote annunciation at the main entrance, security desk, and mechanical room locations, up to twelve annunciators can be distributed throughout the building on a single RS-485 bus, and wire runs up to 6,000 feet cover even the largest floor plates and campus layouts
- Schools, hospitals, and institutional facilities where first responders need immediate system access from lobby-mounted annunciators without walking to the main panel location, the firefighter's key provides secure panel control for emergency operations, and the 80-character LCD displays specific device and zone information for faster incident identification and response
- Multi-tenant buildings and campus environments where building management needs local system control at each building while the main IntelliKnight panel sits in a central location, full programming capability via installer code allows on-site configuration changes during system expansion, and compatibility with four IntelliKnight panel models covers installations from small to large
