Printer/PC and Terminal Mode Annunciator Interface
A serial printer, personal computer or Terminal Mode annunciator may be connected to TB7 on the FACP main cir-
cuit board. Switch SW3, located on the bottom center of the main circuit board, must be set to configure terminal
block TB7 for the appropriate device. Placing SW3 in the ‘up’ position (RS-232 PC/Printer) will allow connection of
most 40 and 80 column printers and most IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computers including laptops and personal
computers. Placing SW3 in the ‘down’ position (RS-485 Terminal Mode) will allow connection of most Terminal
Mode annunciators.
CAUTION:
DO NOT connect a printer or PC to the MS-9200 FACP if a ground fault exists on the control panel.
Circuit damage may result. Remove all power (AC and DC) before installing or removing any modules or wiring.
Programming
Refer to “System Edit” on page 45, for printer programming instructions.
Installation
Remote printers and PCs require 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz primary power. Also required is an interface cable prewired to
a DB9F connector (cable P/N: 75267) as shown in Figure 2-17 and a DB25 adapter. Connect the interface cable to
TB7 on the MS-9200 main circuit board and the attached cable to the serial EIA-232 port on the printer or PC. Use
the DB25 adapter if a nine pin connector is not available on your printer or PC. Note that a ground fault may occur
on the MS-9200 panel, dependent on the printer used, when this connection is made. For this reason, it is important
that there be no preexisting ground fault on the panel. Consult the factory for recommended printers.
Printer Configuration
Refer to the documentation supplied with the printer for additional pertinent information. Set the printer's options as
listed in the following table.
PC Configuration
The Windows-based PK-9200W Programming Utility Kit contains four 3½" floppy disks and the Instruction Manual
P/N 50684.
