11. OTHER CONNECTIONS
11.1 REPEATER CONNECTION
The Simplicity has an RS485 connection for a serial repeater. The repeaters are display only (no control). A single repeater
can be powered from the 24V DC outputs on the panel’s Power Supply Unit (A or B). If 2 or more are to be connected,
then they must be powered from external 24V power supplies. The panel supports up to 4 repeaters.
Connections
See Section 21 for the serial repeater connections.
11.2 SERIAL PRINTER CONNECTION
The Simplicity has an RS232 Serial output that transmits panel events as they occur. It can connect to the Zeta TCP/IP
Interface (Ask distributor for more details), or a serial printer. The recommended printer is an Epson LQ300 II+. The serial
port on the Simplicity is configured to this printer’s default settings. See also Section 21.
