Installing Printers
3.18.1 Printer Installation Sequence
1. Fabricate a custom cable to connect a printer to the system. Length of the cable will vary with
each installation, but should not exceed a maximum length of 50 feet (15.24 meters). Printer
must be installed in the same room as panel. Using overall foil/braided-shield twisted-pair
cable, properly connect one end to the DB-25 Connector (provided) using the wiring
specifications shown in Figure 3.27.
2. Tighten clamp on connector to secure cable. Connect the four open leads of the custom cable
to the TB5 terminal block on the CPU as shown in Figure 3.27.

3. If installing a Keltron Printer VS4095/5, connect 24 VDC non-resettable power from a
UL-listed power supply to the Keltron printer as shown in Figure 3.27 (14 AWG).
4. If installing a PRN series printer, plug it into your AC power source. Note: PRN printers
require a 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz primary power source. If required for the fire alarm system
configuration (for example, a Proprietary Fire Alarm System), a remote printer requires a
secondary power source (battery backup). Because a secondary power source is not provided,
use a separate Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) that is UL-listed for Fire Protective
Signaling.
5. Plug the DB-25 connector end of the custom cable into the EIA-232 port of your printer.
Tighten securely.
6. Configure the printer as described in Section 3.18.2 "Configuring the Printer".
