14. Printer – Recorder Instructions
The microprocessor-controlled printer is supplied
as standard with all Diesel Fire Pump Controllers.
Mounted inside the enclosure the printer-recorder
provides a hard copy status report of all alarms,
events, voltage, system pressure, weekly test timer
and programmed parameters of the controller. Each
alarm printout is stamped with the time and date
that can be used as a trouble-shooting tool to
determine start-up causes and exact times of all
events.
14.1 Operating Procedure
The printer-recorder is shipped from the factory
with two rolls of paper.
Caution must be taken while inside the controller
to avoid electrical shocks.

14.3 Paper Loading
Remove printer chassis from enclosure by turning
the latch counter clockwise. Pull out chassis until it
stops.
Install the paper spindle into a new roll of thermal
paper. Position the roll of paper so that it will feed
from the top, then place the roll and spindle into
the paper support brackets, making certain that the
paper is level. It is recommended that square and
clean cut edge is used for entry of paper into the
printer mechanism – scissor cut preferred.
To load paper, turn on the power. Now feed the cut
edge of the paper into the guide until the paper
stops. Press feed button, paper will advance as long
as button is held. Feed paper until lead edge lines
up with paper cutter.
At this time it is recommended that a self-test be
performed to ensure that the paper is installed
correctly, (thermal side up) and that it is feeding
properly.
In the event of a paper jam condition do not force
the paper into the unit, or try to pry the paper out of
the unit, this may damage the thermal print
mechanism. Disconnect primary power and
interface cable before servicing the unit. Carefully
remove paper with a set of tweezers, or a small pair
of needle nose pliers. If the paper cannot be
cleared, remove the face plate by removing the five
Philips head screws and nuts holding the face plate.
This will allow access to the printer mechanism.
Once paper is cleared from the mechanism, re-
assemble the unit. At this time, re-load paper.
NOTE: Do not remove jumpers inside of printer
