Silent Knight by Honeywell has developed a 25-point fire alarm offering all the high-tech benefits of addressable technology at the cost of a conventional system. The IntelliKnight 5600 fire alarm control panel and compatible HFS devices is designed for applications where two- to five-zone conventional fire alarm systems have historically been installed. The addressable features of the unit include pinpoint identification of alarm/trouble locations and false alarm prevention via detector drift compensation and automatic maintenance alerts. Installation time-savers such as easy code-wheel addressed detectors, a "JumpStart" programming feature and a built-in programming browser to eliminate custom software requirements simplify the process of commissioning an addressable system. The unit supports any combination of addressable HFS detectors and modules that are conventionally priced and runs on only a single loop of standard wire (not shielded or twisted pair), offering additional cost-savings.
