INTRODUCTION
Features
P/N 315-033270-12
The Model RPM from Siemens Industry,
Inc., is an HNET module that interfaces
to a Centronics parallel printer. It must
be located where access to the
FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular HNET
network and the PSC-12 24VDC power
limited output are available.
The RPM is required whenever a logging printer is needed. It translates
the HNET messages into a standard Centronics printer interface. When used
in conjunction with the PAL-1, it provides a supervised logging printer meeting the
requirements of NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL 1076 Security systems. For NFPA 72
Local, Auxiliary or Remote Station applications any UL EDP listed Centronics parallel
printer may be used (See notes 2, 3, and 4 on Figure 3).
The RPM also provides an optional Foreign System Interface (FSI). The FSI allows
other building systems to monitor the status of the FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety
Modular/Cerberus PRO Modular system. The FSI connects to Ports 1-3 on the RPM.
This connection can be either RS-232 (Ports 1 or 3) or RS-485 (Port 2). Only one FSI
connection per RPM is allowed. The FireFinder-XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular system supports a maximum of two simultaneous FSI
connections. With two simultaneous FSI connections the following combinations are
supported: Two Local FSI connections or one Global and one Local FSI connection. A
total of two Global FSI connections are supported in an XNET network. Each Global
FSI connection must originate from its own XLS/Desigo Fire Safety Modular/
Cerberus PRO Modular node.
RPM features are as follows:
• Supervision of the PAL -1 includes paper out, paper jam, printer off line,
printer power off and printer disconnected.
• Can be connected to the HNET either Style 4 or Style 7 .
• Includes diagnostic LEDs to indicate failure of the HNET or the CPU. It also
has a power on indicator.
• Includes a reset switch in the event that the RPM requires a hardware
reset.
• Can be mounted on any smooth surface within 6 feet of the PAL -1.
• Single Foreign System Interface (FSI) connection.
• FSI supports Local (single system) or Global (multiple systems) operation.
