iRIS4 - Addressable Fire Alarm Panel – Installation Manual
4.4. Main control module PCB
The Main control module is situated on the back side of the front cover – Figure 14. On the Main control module is
factory integrated a control module - uPC Module, for control of the panel functions and operations.
The Main control module PCB is not a periphery device.
1 - CPU Control module integrated to the Main PCB.
2 - Built-in 3V backup battery for the real-time clock. To activate the battery set jumper on J1 terminals.
3 - LAN interface connector.
4 - Micro USB port for software and firmware update.
5 - Connector to the Outputs Control module (factory connected).
6 - Buzzer for sound signalization.
7 - RS232 interface connector for connecting to a thermal-printer or FAT/FBF control board.
8 - Restore Defaults Jumper for resetting the panel with default parameters.
9 - Interface connector for a Redundant network module and Voice evacuation module (PASO) to the
system configuration.
4.4.1. Thermal Printer Connection
The addressable fire alarm panel iRIS4 is equipped with RS232 interface connector, situated in the right bottom of the
main PCB, for connecting a thermal printer. The thermal printer allows the technician to print the log file for the alarm
and fault events, warnings and changes during programming. The capacity of log file is 10 240 events, which are saved
with date and time of occurring.
iRIS4 panels support operation with the following thermal printer types:
- Canon 9 type external printers, models Kafka and Datecs (EP1000), stand-alone devices.
- IRIS Printer, situated in a metal box, suitable for building of a modular structure.
You can use only one printer connected to the iRIS4 panel. The type of printer is selected from the installer
programming menus at level 3: System-Programming-Panel-Printer.
For connecting the iRIS4 panel to Canon type thermal printer, you have to prepare a special cable for the purpose –
connect two male DB9-DB9 (for model Datecs printer) or DB9-DIN5 (for model Kafka printer) type connectors as shown
on Figure 24.

DB9
The connection of iRIS4 panel to IRIS Printer is with a flat interface 800 mm long cable, supplied in the spare parts kit of
IRIS Printer - connector types DB9 to DC10. Connect the DB9 connector to Printer terminal of the main control module
PCB and the IDC10 to IRIS Printer PCB.
