PIM-24 Interface Module
Older versions of the MS-9200 main circuit board do not have a TB7 connector for direct connection of a PC or
printer. These older boards require the Printer/PC Interface Module P/N PIM-24 to provide an EIA-232 conversion
for adaptation to most 40 and 80 column printers and most IBM PC/XT/AT or compatible computers including lap-
tops and personal computers. The PIM-24 module cannot be used simultaneously with the DIM-485/LCD-40 option.
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
Older circuit boards require the PIM-24 which includes the Printer/PC Interface Module, interface cable prewired to
a DB9F connector as shown in Figure 2-18 and a DB25 adapter. Connect the Printer/PC Interface board to J11 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.
