Installing Printers

Nonpower-limited circuit
(Assumes relay is connected to a
non-power-limited signal source)
Power-limited
(Class 2) circuits
Some devices (such as the ACM-8R) are power-limited only when connected to power-limited sources. When one of these devices is
connected to a non-power-limited source, the power-limited marking must be removed, and at the time of installation, each non-power-
limited circuit connected to these modules must be identified in the space provided on the cabinet door label.
NOTE: Relays are power-limited only when connected to power-limited sources for the relay outputs.
3.14 Installing Printers
This section contains information on connecting a printer to the CPU and for setting the printer options. The basic steps are as follows:
1. Make custom cable & connect it from printer to EIA-232 terminal on the NCA-2.
2. Connect printer's power supply.
3. Configure printer settings as described in printer documentation.
Overview: PRN Printer

The PRN provides a printed record (80 columns on standard 9" x 11" tractor-feed paper) of all system events (alarm, trouble) and status
changes within the system. The control panel can be configured to time-stamp the printout with the current time-of-day and date for each
event. The equipment must be located in the same room within 20 feet (6.10 m) from the control panel. Installation and configuration
instructions follow.
Overview: Keltron Remote Printer (Model VS4095)

The VS4095 is a two-color (red and black), 40-column, 24 VDC printer that can print up to 50 messages in 90
seconds. This printer connects to the EIA-232 TB5 on the CPU and to the +24V screw on TB3 of AMPS-24/E,
and mounts in a separate cabinet next to the control panel. The VS4095 meets UL fire and security require-
ments for an ancillary device per UL 864, 8th Edition (Refer to "UL 864 Compliance" on page 8 for more
information); it is not ULC-listed. For more information on the Keltron printer, contact the manufacturer (Kel-
tron Corp., Waltham, MA). Installation and configuration instructions follow.
NOTE: Depending on which version of the AMPS-24/E is used, the terminal block designations may differ from those listed here. Please
refer to the AMPS-24/E manual if that is the case.
3.14.1 Printer Installation Sequence
1. Fabricate a custom cable to connect a printer to the system. Length of the cable will vary with each installation, but should not
exceed a maximum length of 50 feet (15.24 meters). Printer must be installed in the same room within 20 feet (6.10 meters) of the
panel. Using overall foil/braided-shield twisted-pair cable, properly connect one end to the DB-25 or DB-9 Connector (provided)
using the wiring specifications shown in Figure 3.15.
2. Tighten clamp on connector to secure cable. Connect the four open leads of the custom cable to the TB5 terminal block on the CPU
as shown in Figure 3.15.
