PRINTER OUTPUT
The printer port is designed to be used during testing and commissioning of the panel. The serial printer will
report alarms and faults together with the date and time of the event.
The printer can also be used during
“walk test” mode to produce a history of the test and can also be used to print current programming
configuration.
A DB9 plug male is provided at the top of the main termination board.
This communication port will
communicate with an IBM compatible serial printer (ASCII printer) with the following settings.

socket is required at the panel end.
The printer end is dependent on the type of printer used but is usually a
male DB25. Connection is as follows. A 5-core cable can be used for both comms and printer functions
