Installation of Optional Modules
Installation - Remote printers require a separate external primary power source. Also required is the
PRT-24 which includes the Printer Interface Module and a 6-foot (1.83 m) interface cable prewired to
a DB25 connector. Connect the interface cable to the PRT-24 as illustrated in Figure 2-13. Insert the
two supplied standoffs into mounting holes near the J4 connector on the main circuit board. Connect
the Printer Interface board to J4 on the main circuit board, press onto standoffs and connect the
attached cable to the serial EIA-232 port on the printer. The printer may be placed a maximum of 50
feet (15.24 m) from the panel. Note that a ground fault may occur on the control panel when this con-
nection is made. For this reason, it is important that there be no preexisting ground fault on the panel.
For permanent printer connection, a ground fault is not allowed.
Printer Configuration - The PRT-24 is required. Also refer to the documentation supplied with your
printer. Set the printer's options as listed in Table 2-1 . Baud rate is programmable to 2400, 4800 or
9600.
