5.11 Isolated RS232 Interface PCB
The ID3000 Series Isolated RS232 Interface PCB
(PN: 124-300) enables connection of the ID3000 Series
Fire Control Panel to an external printer, terminal or third-
party-protocol station. The RS232 Interface PCB is
located adjacent to and at the left-hand side of the Base
PCB. The PCB is secured in position using one metal
spacer and SEM screw and three nylon snap-top spacers,
all provided with the Isolated RS232 Interface PCB kit
(PN: 020-478).
To fit the Isolated RS232 Interface PCB follow the
instructions below. Only one Isolated RS232 Interface
PCB is supported.
Before starting, make sure you have a PC back-up of
the panel’s current configuration data.
Ensure you take appropriate anti-static precautions
before undertaking this procedure.
With the front cover moulding(s) removed (see
Section 2.7
)
and power disconnected
, proceed as
follows:
1
Using a suitable-sized coin, release the two quarter-
turn fasteners (A) located at the left-hand side of the
main chassis front door (B). Open the door to gain
access to the main chassis’ PCB enclosure (C)
containing the Base PCB (D).
2
Fit the metal spacer (E) through the Base PCB to the
top left fixing position of either PCB mounting location
(F). Tighten down fully using a 5.5mm Hex socket tool.
3
Fit the three supplied nylon snap-top spacers (G)
through the Base PCB by pushing them firmly into
place until they snap into position.
4
Observing anti-static precautions, remove the RS232
Interface PCB from its packaging. If, after inspection, no
damage has occurred in transit and with it correctly
orientated, carefully offer the PCB to the three snap-top
spacers described in step 3. Working in a clockwise
direction, carefully push the PCB onto the snap-top
spacers (positions H) until the PCB is secure.
5
Use the M3 x 8mm SEM screw (I) to secure the
Isolated RS232 PCB to the metal spacer (position J).
6
Make all necessary wiring connections to the Isolated
RS232 Interface PCB - see details below.
7
If no other PCBs require fitting, close and secure the
main chassis front door, re-connect mains power and
the batteries and replace the front cover moulding.
8
To replace the Isolated RS232 Interface PCB, first
reverse the above procedure, steps 4 to 7, and then
fit the replacement PCB using steps 4 to 7.
Make sure you have
a PC back-up of the
current
configuration data
