Optional Modules

1.6 Optional Modules
The MS-9200 main circuit board includes option module connectors which are located on the right side of the board.
Available option modules include the following:
ACM-8RF Relay Control Module
The ACM-8RF Relay Control Module contains eight high current (5 amps) Form-C relays. The module interfaces to
host fire alarm control panels which employ an EIA-485 communications bus. ACM-8RF modules may be con-
nected to the EIA-485 bus up to 6,000 feet (1,800 m) away from the host control panel. Power-limited, filtered, non-
resettable power must be supplied by the host FACP or a UL listed power supply such as the FCPS-24F. Refer to
Figure 2-34, "ACM-8RF Relay Control Module Installation," on page 49, for wiring details.
RTM-8F Relay/Transmitter Module
The RTM-8F Relay/Transmitter Module plugs into connector J6 and mounts on the bottom right side of the MS-9200
main circuit board. When the module is installed, jumper JP4 must be cut in order to provide module placement
supervision. The RTM-8F provides eight high current (5 amps) Form-C relays. These relays track software zones 1
through 8. The Relay/Transmitter Module also provides Municipal Box or Remote Station transmitters. An
MS-9200 equipped with an RTM-8F meets NFPA 72 codes for Auxiliary and Remote Station requirements. In
remote station applications, the RTM-8F can be configured to transmit alarm only or alarm and trouble signals. Dis-
able switches and indicators are provided on the module. Refer to Figure 2-35, "RTM-8F Module Installation," on
page 50 and Figure 2-36, "RTM-8F Relay Transmitter Module," on page 51, for additional information.
PIM-24 Printer/PC Interface Module
The Printer/PC Interface Module may be used to permanently connect a printer to the MS-9200 for the purpose of
printing a history report, walktest file or program listing. Printers require separate primary AC power. The PIM-24
module connects to the serial EIA-232 port on the printer using cable P/N 75267. The module mounts to the J11 con-
nector on the MS-9200 main circuit board. The PIM-24 is also used to connect a computer for upload/download of
programming data. Refer to the PK-9200(W) Off Line Programming Utility Manual for programming information.
Refer to Figure 2-37, "Remote Serial Printer and Computer Connections," on page 52, for information on connec-
tions and "System Edit" on page 61, for information on programming the MS-9200 for use with a printer or PC. Note
that the PIM-24 option cannot be used simultaneously with the DIM-485/LCD-40 option.
PK-9200W Kit for Local Downloading
The PK-9200W Programming Utility can be used to program an MS-9200 directly from most IBM PC/XT/AT or
compatible computers, including laptops and portables, equipped with a serial port. MS-9200 program files can also
be created and stored on the PC, then downloaded to the control panel. The PK-9200W Kit includes the MS-9200
Windows based Programming Utility software on four 3½" disks and the Instruction Manual P/N 50684, and
requires separate purchase of the PIM-24 Interface module.
UDACT-F Universal Digital Alarm Communicator/Transmitter
The UDACT-F transmits system status to UL listed Central Station receivers via the public switched telephone net-
work. The UDACT-F is compact in size and may be mounted inside the host control panel or may mount externally
in a separate cabinet. EIA-485 annunciator communications bus and filtered 24 volt connections are required. The
UDACT-F transmits 198 points or 56 zones when connected to the MS-9200. The MS-9200 requires firmware P/N
73580 or greater in order to be compatible with the UDACT-F. Refer to Figure 2-31, "UDACT-F Mounting to MS-
9200," on page 47, and Figure 2-32, "External UDACT-F Mounting in ABS-8RF," on page 48, for wiring details and
"System Edit" on page 61, for information on programming the MS-9200 for use with the UDACT-F.
DIM-485 Display Interface Module
The Display Interface Module is required to connect an LCD-40 Series Remote Fire Annunciator to the MS-9200
FACP. The DIM-485 plugs into connector J11 located on the top right side of the MS-9200 main circuit board. Refer
to "LCD-40 Series Annunciator Wiring" on page 88, for wiring details and "System Edit" on page 61, for information
on programming the MS-9200 for use with the LCD-40. Note that the DIM-485/LCD-40 cannot be used simulta-
neously with the PIM-24 module.
