NOTES:
1.
If Earth Ground Fault Sensing is enabled in the control
panel you may get an earth ground fault indication if
you use a printer (or PC) which has a 3 prong grounded
power cord.
2.
The 4100SM is supplied with a 10-foot RS-232 cable. A
longer cable or extension cable can be used if the
4100SM and the printer are separated by more than 10
feet, but the total cable length should be less than 50
feet.
3.
Most printers either ignore the CTS, DSR and CD
signals, or require them to be high (i.e., 3-15VDC as
measured on RS-232 DB25 connector pins 5, 6, & 8
respectively with respect to ground pin 7). The 4100SM
Module sets these pins high. If the printer being used
will not operate with these pins high, then clip the blue
(CTS), white (DSR) or red (CD) jumpers on the 4100SM
module to set the corresponding signal floating.
Important pins on the RS-232 cable are pin 3 (data out),
pin 7 (ground), and pin 20 (DTR - ready).

Home/Facility Automation Connections
The 4100SM can be used to connect the control panel to 3rd
party Home/Facility Automation hardware and software.
The 4100SM connects to the control panel’s circuit board via
the supplied 4142TR voltage trigger cable. As shown in
Figures 6 and 7, terminals 3, 6, 7, and 8 on the 4100SM are
used.
NOTES:
1.
The distance between the 4100SM and the control panel
cannot exceed the length of the 4142TR Trigger Cable.
2.
The maximum distance between the 4100SM and the
3rd party Home/Facility Automation hardware is 50’. If
shielded wire, wire in conduit, or Cat 5 unshielded is
used, the maximum distance is 25’.
