2.6.5 Printer/PC
A serial printer or a PC (personal computer) may be connected to TB7 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-9600 FACP if a ground fault
exists on the control panel. Circuit damage may result. Remove all power (AC and
DC) 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 TB7 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 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 98.
Printer Configuration
Refer to the documentation supplied with the printer for pertinent information about
printer setup. Set the printer’s options as listed in the following table:
