INTRODUCTION The Model FCA2018-U1 from Siemens
Industry, Inc., is an Universal Fire
Protocol module that interfaces to a
Centronics parallel printer. It must be
located where access to the FS20
System UFP network and 24VDC power
limited output are available.
The FCA2018-U1 is required whenever a
logging printer is needed. It translates
the UFP messages into a standard Centronics printer interface. When used
in conjunction with the PAL-1, it provides a supervised logging printer meeting the
requirements of NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL 1076 Security systems. For NFPA 72
Local, Auxiliary or Remote Station applications any UL EDP listed Centronics parallel
printer may be used (See notes 2, 3, and 4 on Figure 3).
Features FCA2018-U1 features are as follows:
• Supervision of the PAL-1 includes paper out, paper jam, printer off line,
printer power off and printer disconnected.
• Can be connected to the UFP Style 4 or Style 6.
• Includes diagnostic LEDs to indicate failure of the UFP or the CPU. It also
has a power on indicator.
• Includes a reset switch in the event that the FCA2018-U1 requires a
hardware reset.
• Can be mounted on any smooth surface within 6 feet of the PAL-1.
