Honeywell Silent Knight 5824 Printer Interface Module

Product Description

The Honeywell Silent Knight 5824 is a printer interface module designed for fire alarm control systems. It provides both serial and parallel communication output, allowing a connected printer to log system events, alarms, and status changes. The module bridges the fire panel to a standard printer, giving installers and monitoring personnel a hardcopy record of system activity. It is installed by licensed fire alarm technicians as part of a complete fire detection and notification system. The 5824 ships as a single unit and is categorized as a fire control accessory.

The 5824 is used in commercial and light industrial fire alarm installations where a printed event log is required by the authority having jurisdiction or by building management. It is typically installed at or near the fire alarm control panel to provide a local, hardcopy audit trail of system events. Both serial and parallel printer connections are supported, offering flexibility depending on the printer hardware available on site.
