2.9.2 Printer/PC

A serial printer or a PC (personal computer) may be connected to TB8 Terminals 1 - 4 on the FACP. The printer can be used to provide a hard-copy printout of real-time events, history file and walktest data. An IBM compatible PC can be connected to provide local FACP programming capabilities using the PK-CD programming utility. Installation of either device requires panel programming to allow the FACP to communicate with the device.

CAUTION! Do not connect a printer or PC to the MS-9200UDLS FACP if a ground

!fault (zero impedance to ground) exists on the control panel. Circuit damage may result. Remove all power (Primary and Secondary) before installing or removing any wiring.

Installation

Remote printers and PCs require separate primary power. Also required is the PRT/ PK-CABLE which is an interface cable prewired to a DB9F connector. Wire the PRT/ PK-CABLE to TB8 Terminals 1 - 4 as illustrated in the following figure. Connect the DB9F connector to the printer or PC serial EIA-232 port. If a nine-pin serial connector is not available on the printer or PC, use a DB25 adapter. Make certain that the DB25 adapter does not swap the Transmit and Receive lines. Apply power to the FACP and printer or PC. Note that a ground fault (zero impedance to ground) may occur on the FACP, dependent on the printer or PC being used, due to this connection. For this reason, it is important that there be no preexisting ground fault on the panel.

Note that the printer may or may not be supervised as determined by user programming. Refer to "Printer/PC" on page 115.
