  • Page 3 Introduction The PRT3 Printer Module can be used as an interface between a home automation module and your Digiplex system. When in home automation mode, the Printer Module can receive and send commands to and from the home automation module and the Digiplex control panel, linking your home automation capabilities with your security system.

  • Page 4: Installation

    Installation The Printer Module is connected to the control panel’s combus. Connect the four terminals labeled red, black, green, and yellow of the module to the corresponding terminals on the control panel as shown in Figure 2 on page 22. See the EVO or DGP-848 Reference & Installation Manual for the maximum allowable installation distance from the control panel.

  • Page 11 Sections [102] to [105] Virtual PGM Activation Event The Virtual PGM Activation Event determines which event will activate the Printer Module’s virtual PGM output(s). The Event Group specifies the event, the Feature Group identifies the source, and the Start # and End # set the range within the Feature Group. Note that Event Groups [064] to [067] may be selected when programming virtual PGMs (see “Appendix 1: Programming PGMs”...
  • Page 12 Sections [106] to [109] Virtual PGM Deactivation Event If the Virtual PGM Deactivation Option is set to follow the Virtual PGM Deactivation Event (see “Virtual PGM Deactivation Option” on page 7), the virtual PGM will return to its normal state when the event programmed occurs (see table below). The Event Group specifies the event, the Feature Group identifies the source, and the Start # and End # set the range within the Feature Group.

  • Page 13: Ascii Protocol

    ASCII Protocol The ASCII Protocol is a serial communication protocol which allows your home automation module to communicate with the Digiplex control panel through the PRT3 Printer Module. The home automation module must be programmed with the ASCII Protocol in order for successful communication to occur.

  • Page 24: Pgm Activation Event

    Appendix 1: Programming PGM A PGM is a programmable output that toggles to its opposite state (i.e. a normally open PGM will close) when a specific event occurs in the system. For example, a PGM can be used to reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage doors and much more. PGM Activation Event The PGM Activation Event determines which event from which source will activate the PGM.
