Connecting The Printer To The RPM
Siemens Industry, Inc.
Building Technologies Division
Before connecting either the printer, power, FSI or the HNET, the network address
must be set for the RPM using the three-position switch. (Refer to Figure 2 for the
location of the switch.) The address for the RPM must be the same as the address
selected for it in the Zeus Programming Tool. To increment each digit of the address,
press the "+" button above the desired digit; to decrement each digit, press the "-"
button below the desired digit. The range of allowable addresses is from 001 to
251 (leading zeros must be used).
If the RPM is located at the end of the HNET network (Style 4 only), the termination
switch must be set to ON. Otherwise it must be set to OFF .

Installing The RPM Terminal Block Covers
Two terminal block covers are provided with the RPM. Each comes as two separate
parts, a lower bracket which has a ¾ inch conduit opening and a cover. Attach the
lower bracket to each end of the RPM using four of the #10 nuts provided in the
RPM hardware kit. Reserve the covers and the remaining hardware until the RPM is
mounted and wired.
Mount the RPM to either the wall or desk where the PAL -1 is located. Use the four
mounting holes in the lower bracket.
