SYSTEM REACCEPTANCE TEST AFTER SOFTWARE CHANGES
To ensure proper system operation, this product must be tested in accordance with
NFPA72® after any programming operation or change in site-specific software. Reacceptance testing is required after any change, addition or deletion
of system components, or after any modification, repair or adjustment to system hardware or wiring.
All components, circuits, system operations, or software functions known to be affected by a change must be 100% tested. In addition, to ensure that
other operations are not inadvertently affected, at least 10% of initiating devices that are not directly affected by the change, up to a maximum of 50
devices, must also be tested and proper system operation verified.
Introduction
The dual RS-232 interface module is a single PDI block interface module that communicates to an AC or DC printer, a PC Annunciator, or a third-party
computer. It is used with 4007ES, 4100U/4100ES, and 4010ES systems. The 4100-6046 dual RS-232 module is used with 4100U/4100ES Fire Alarm
Control Panels (FACPs). The 4010-9918 dual RS-232 module is used with 4010ES panels. The 4007-9812 dual RS-232 module is used with 4007ES
panels.
Note:
The 4007ES must be at revision 3.04 to support the RS-232 card.
Power to both ports can be either isolated or non-isolated. The isolated power is intended for AC printers or PC Annunciators. Ground faults can result
if isolated power is not used for AC devices, and third-party computers. DC printers use the non-isolated power.
Inspecting Contents of Shipment
Upon unpacking your Simplex product, inspect the contents of the carton for shipping damage. If damage is apparent, immediately file a claim with the
carrier and notify your local Simplex product supplier. The dual RS-232 interface module is shipped with the 566-798 dual RS-232 interface module
component.
