PRINTER MODULE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
General
The plug-in RS232 module will give a Smart Connect Multi-loop panel the ability to interface to RS232 serial
equipment and devices. This is used to connect the CUSTOM PLUS2 Panel Printer to the panel. The module also has a
5V aux output that is used to provide power to the printer.
Installation
1.
Ensure that the installation area is free from any cables or wires that may get caught, and that there is enough
space on the DIN rail to mount the module. Also ensure that the DIN clip underneath the module is in the open
position.
2.
Place the module onto the DIN rail, hooking the metal earth clip underneath onto the rail first.
3.
Once the earth clip is hooked, push the bottom of the module onto the rail so that the module sits flat.
4.
Push the plastic DIN clip (located at the bottom of the module) upwards to lock and secure the module into
position.
5.
Once the module is secured to the DIN rail, simply connect the supplied CAT5E cable to the module’s RJ45 port.
6.
Connect the other end of CAT5E cable to the nearest unoccupied RJ45 port on the termination PCB.
ATTENTION:
THE PANEL MUST BE POWERED DOWN AND DISCONNECTED FROM THE BATTERIES BEFORE
INSTALLING OR REMOVING ANY MODULES.
