A remote serial printer may be permanently connected to provide a hard-copy printout of program entries, history
file and walktest data. The Printer/PC Interface Module Part Number PIM-24 provides an EIA-232 conversion to
adapt to most 40 and 80 column printers and most IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computers including laptops and
personal computers. (This option is not available simultaneously with use of the DIM-485/LCD-40).
CAUTION: DO NOT connect a printer or PC to the MS-9200 Fire Alarm Control Panel if a ground fault exists on
the panel. Circuit damage may result.

INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTALLATION INSTALLATION
Remote printers and PCs require a separate 240 VAC, 50Hz primary power. Also required is the PIM-24 which
includes the Printer/PC Interface Module, interface cable prewired to a DB9F connector as shown in Figure 2.30
and a DB25 adapter. Connect the Printer/PC Interface board to J11 on the MS-9200 main circuit board and the
attached cable to the serial EIA-232 port on the printer or PC. Use the DB25 adapter if a nine pin connector is not
available on your printer or PC. Note that a ground fault may occur on the MS-9200 panel, dependent upon the
printer used, when this connection is made. For this reason, it is important that there be no preexisting ground fault
on the panel. Consult the factory for recommended printers.
