Model 5883
Relay Interface Board
The following instruction describe how to install
the 5883 to a Silent Knight Addressable fire
control panel. Refer to the control panel
installation manual (P/N 151139 or 151209) for
programming instructions.
The 5883 is a relay interface board that has 10
general purpose Form C relays that can be used
for activating voice evacuation, elevator recall or
HVAC fan cut-off, as examples.
Each relay is activated by an open collector
input from a controlling device such as a 5880.
Wiring
Note: Installation and wiring of this device must be done
in accordance with NFPA 72 and local ordinances.
Important! All wiring is supervised and power limited.

Important! 1/4" spacing must be maintained between
High and Low voltage circuits; as well as
between power limited and non-power
limited circuits.
Important! When using a combination of power limited
and non-power limited circuits you must
leave an unused relay in-between to
maintain a 1/4’ spacing.

Model 5883 Installation Instructions
Connecting the 5883 to Aux power
Connect the power terminals of the 5883 to a 24
VDC power supply as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Auxiliary Power Connections
Note: Auxiliary power is supplied by a Regulated UL
listed power supply for Fire Protective Signalling
Systems.
Auxiliary Power Using
Flexput™ Circuits
The 5883 can use aux power from any 24 VDC
source. The following describes how to use the
Flexput circuits as the auxiliary power source:
1. Connect the aux power wires to the Flexput
terminals using “X” terminals as positive,
and “O” terminals as negative power. See
Figure 3.
Figure 3: Flexput Auxiliary Power Output
2. Configure the auxiliary power output for
constant output through programming. Refer
to the control panel installation manual
(P/Ns 151139 & 151209).
