Introduction

The Printer Module (APR-PRT3) provides the ability to automatically print live or stored events.

Sample Printout:

2007/06/12 07:17 Partition 1 Arming with master John Doe 2007/06/12 18:09 Partition 1 Disarming with master John Doe

Automatic Printing of Zone Status

Each section represents 8 zones i.e. [002] = zones 1~8, [013] = zones 89~96. The Printer Module must be assigned to the same partition as the zone.

	2.	Enter a name in the Name text box and select an icon for your connection file.
		Click OK. The Connect To window is displayed.
[016]	[553] 3.	From the Connect Using drop-down list select the COM port connected to the
		Printer Module. Click OK. The COM Properties window is displayed.

4.Click on the Bits per second drop-down list and select the baud rate that is set in the Printer Module (Section [016] Options [2] & [3]). By default, HyperTerminal® sets the Data bits at 8, the Parity at None and the Stop bits at 1. Click OK.

5.The HyperTerminal® display will appear already connected to the Printer Module. Click on the Properties icon (or select Properties from the File menu). The communication file’s Properties window is displayed. Click the Settings tab. Under Emulation, verify that it is set as Auto Detect. If not, select Auto Detect from the drop-down list. Click OK.

When used with an EVO Series or DGP-848 (V4.11 or higher) control panel, the Printer Module can also be used as an interface between a home automation system and your control panel. For information on this feature and its related programming sections, refer to the ASCII Protocol Programming Instructions and/or C-Bus Programming Instructions available on our website at paradox.com.

Printer Requirements

Dot matrix, inkjet or laser printers can be connected through one of your computer’s COM ports to the Printer Module’s serial port. Events can be displayed and printed using communication software like Procomm™, Telix© and HyperTerminal®.

It is recommended that only dot matrix printers that support a minimum of 80 columns be connected directly to the Printer Module. Only dot matrix printers can print individual events in real time.

Baud Settings

Option [2] [3]

Both the Printer Module and serial port should have the same baud rate. Refer to the printer’s instruction manual for the correct baud rate.

Serial Port Usage

Option [4]

Set the Printer Module’s serial port usage to either Event Reporting (off) or Home Automation (on).

For information on using the Printer Module as an interface for a home automation system, refer to the ASCII Protocol Programming Instructions and/or C-Bus Programming Instructions available on our website at paradox.com.

Manual Event Group Printing

The event groups are represented by the following sections:

	Event	Feature	Start #	End #
	Group	Group
Miscellaneous Events	[027]	[028]	[029]	[030]
Arming/Disarming Events	[031]	[032]	[033]	[034]
Alarm/Alarm Restore Events	[035]	[036]	[037]	[038]
Tamper/Tamper Restore Events	[039]	[040]	[041]	[042]
Trouble/Trouble Restore Events	[043]	[044]	[045]	[046]
Special Events	[047]	[048]	[049]	[050]
Access Events	[051]	[052]	[053]	[054]
All Events	[055]	[056]	[057]	[058]

Each group of sections from [027] to [058] represents event groups that can be printed when a specified action from the PGM Programming Table occurs (see the control panel’s programming guide).

Event Groups 000 to 055 can be used to program the Printer Module’s Manual Printing feature. Event groups 062 and 063 can only be used when using an EVO control panel.

Paradox Memory Key (NOT TO BE USED WITH UL LISTED SYSTEMS)

The Paradox Memory Key can copy the programmed contents of one APR- PRT3 into as many others as needed. For more information, see the control panel’s programming guide.

EVO Spectra

[090][902] = Copy to Memory Key

[080][900] = Paste to APR-PRT3

When the APR-PRT3 emits a confirmation beep, wait for a second confirmation beep and then remove the Memory Key.
