Paradox BUS2SER Installation Manual

BUS2SER
RS232 Interface Module
Installation Manual
V1.20 and higher
Introduction
The BUS2SER allows you to interface the EVO bus to external systems via a
RS232 serial connection. It also provides the ability to automatically print live or
stored events.
Home Automation Interface Capabilities
When used with an EVO Series control panel, the BUS2SER can also be used
as an interface between a home automation system and your control panel. For
information on this feature and its related programming sections, refer to the
ASCII Protocol Programming Instructions and/or C-Bus Programming
Instructions available on our website at paradox.com.
Technical Specifications
Serial Port: 1 start bit, 8 data bit, no parity and 1 stop bit (8N1)
Input Voltage: 9-16 Vdc
Current Consumption: 60mA maximum
Serial Port Baud Rates: 2400, 9600, 19200 or 57600 bps
Event Buffer: 2048 events
Compatibility: EVO192 and EVOHD control panels
Printer Requirements
Dot matrix, inkjet or laser printers can be connected through one of your
computer's COM ports to the BUS2SER module's serial port. Events can be
displayed and printed using communication software like Procomm™, Telix©
and HyperTerminal®.
It is recommended that only dot matrix printers that support a minimum of 80
columns be connected directly to the BUS2SER Module. Only dot matrix
printers can print individual events in real time.

Each section represents 8 zones i.e. [002] = zones 1~8,
to
[013] = zones 89~96. The BUS2SER module must be assigned to
[013]
the same partition as the zone.

Enable Serial Port
Option [1]
The BUS2SER module can use the HyperTerminal®
communication program that comes installed with Windows®.
Using HyperTerminal®, the BUS2SER module will display events
as they occur on your computer's monitor.
1. Click Start (from the Windows® taskbar)  Programs 
Accessories  Communications  HyperTerminal®. The
Connection Description window is displayed.
2. Enter a name in the Name text box and select an icon for your
connection file. Click OK. The Connect To window is displayed.
3. From the Connect Using drop-down list select the COM port
[016]
connected to the Printer Module. Click OK. The COM
Properties window is displayed.
4. Click on the Bits per second drop-down list and select the baud
rate that is set in the BUS2SER module (Section [016] Options
[2] & [3]). By default, HyperTerminal® sets the Data bits at 8,
the Parity at None and the Stop bits at 1. Click OK.
5. The HyperTerminal® display will appear already connected to
the BUS2SER module. Click on the Properties icon (or select
Properties from the File menu). The communication file's
Properties window is displayed. Click the Settings tab. Under
Emulation, verify that it is set as Auto Detect. If not, select
Auto Detect from the drop-down list. Click OK.
Baud Settings
Option [2] [3]
Both the BUS2SER module and the
[016]
computer's serial port should have the
same baud rate. Refer to the printer's
instruction manual for the correct baud
rate.
Serial Port Usage
Option [4]
Set the BUS2SER module's serial port usage to either Event
Reporting (off) or Home Automation (on).

Note: For information on using the BUS2SER as an interface for a
home automation system, refer to the ASCII Protocol Programming
Instructions and/or C-Bus Programming Instructions available on
our website at paradox.com.
Automatic Printing of Zone Status
[020]
Each section represents 8 zones i.e. [020] = zones 97~104,
to
[025] = zones 137~144. The BUS2SER must be assigned to the
[025]
same partition as the zone.
