Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm installers and commissioning engineers deploying IntelliKnight 5700 panels on medium commercial installations.

5700 platform position

The 5700 sits between the smaller IntelliKnight 5600 series and the larger 5808 and 5820XL platforms. It is the right choice for commercial sites where the 5600 is too small but the 5820XL is over-specified.
