PIM-1 Peripheral Interface Module
The PIM-1 module is an interface for an
MXL-IQ System to remote peripheral
devices such as printers. It connects an
RS-232C device to an MXL-IQ System
without the peripheral device's protective
ground causing a ground fault. The inter-
face operates at up to 9600 baud without
losing any characters.
PIM-2 Peripheral Interface Module
The PIM-2 module is an interface that
allows the connection of UL listed EDP
Centronics parallel printers to the MXL-IQ
System. It converts the RS-232C (serial)
printer output to a Centronics parallel
interface. When used with the PAL-1, the
PIM-2 provides a supervised parallel printer
(NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL 1076) for the
MXL-IQ System. However, this configura-
tion is not supervised for data integrity.
PAL-1
The PAL-1 Logging Printer provides a
paper record of the activity of the MXL-IQ
System.
