Installation Instructions

Model PAL-1 Parallel Printer

Operation

The model PAL-1 from Siemens Industry, Inc. allows the connection of an ITE Centronics parallel printer to the Siemens FireFinderXLS, MXL, FireFinder-NCC, FC2025, FC2050, FC922, FC924, Desigo CC and Cerberus DMS systems. See the manufacturer's installation manual for self diagnostics.

The PAL-1 printer can be used with control panel models XLS, FC2025, FC2050, FC922, FC924, NCC, Desigo CC, and Cerberus DMS Management Systems in UL864 and ULC-S527 installations. The PAL-1

printer can be used in UL2572 installations, Control and Communication Units for Mass Notification. For supplementary use only, the NCC and PAL-1 may be connected to the UL1076 approved XLS and MXL control panels.

Installation

UPS Standby Power

The PAL-1 printer requires a standby power source in the event of the loss of primary input power (AC mains). Refer to Figure 2 for the connection of a UPS to meet this requirement.

FireFinder-XLS System

1. The FireFinder-XLS system requires a Siemens model RPM module to interface to a Centronics parallel printer. When an RPM is used in conjunction with PAL-1, the FireFinder-XLS system provides a supervised logging printer meeting the requirements of an NFPA 72 Proprietary or UL1076 Security system. The printer is supervised for paper out, AC loss, and printer parallel cable removal.

2. Refer to the RPM Installation Instructions, P/N 315-033270, for more details on connecting and programming a RPM module.

3. Figure 3 shows the proper installation of PAL-1 with an RPM module.

NOTES:

1. The maximum distance from the RPM to the PAL-1 is 6 feet. The two modules must be in the same room. Wiring to

the printer must be 14 AWG min., 600V insulation in conduit, and located in the same room as the control panel.

2. For NFPA 72 Local, Auxiliary and Remote Station configurations, connect the output of the RPM to any

UL ITE listed printer.

3. The printer must support the EPSON FX command set.

4. The printer is supervised for paper out, AC loss, and printer parallel cable removal by the RPM.

5A. For the Panasonic printer: After loading the paper in the PAL-1 printer, turn of f the power and follow the steps below.

a. While pressing the LOAD PARK button, turn on the power to the PAL-1 printer. Keep pressing the

LOAD PARK button for 5 seconds. b. Release the LOAD PARK button. c. The current setting will print. d. When printing is completed, the ON LINE indicator will be lit. If the ON LINE indicator is not lit, press the ON

LINE button.

5B. For the Epson LQ2090 printer: Follow the steps below to enter default-setting mode. If single-sheet paper is

loaded, you'll need to load a new sheet each time the printer ejects a printed page. NOTE: For Auto line feed, the default-setting must be On as described in Step e.

a. Make sure the printer is on and paper is loaded. Then press the Menu buttons (ItemÏ and Set) until the

printer beeps and both the Menu lights turn on.

The printer enters default-setting mode and prints a line showing which language is currently selected for

printing the instructions.

NOTE: If the printer does not access default-setting mode, the printer is in lock-out mode. When the lock-out mode is on, the Pause and Paper Out lights flash simultaneously when the locked buttons are pushed. Follow the procedure for turning off the lock-out mode on page 3.

b. If you want a different language, press the ItemÐ button until the printout shows the language you want

underlined. c. Press the Set button to accept the language. The printer prints a line asking if you want to print all the

current settings. d. To print a list of all the current settings, press the Set button. The printer prints all the settings and then the

first setting again.

To go through the settings one at a time, press the ItemÐ or ItemÏ button. The printer prints the first

setting and its current value. e. Press the Set button to scroll through the options until you see Auto line feed. Press the ItemÐ or ItemÏ

button to select On.

f. Press the Set button to scroll through the remaining options for the selected setting until you see the one

you want. Press the ItemÐ or ItemÏ button to select the next or previous setting you want to change. g. Repeat Step f for any other settings you want to change. h. When you finish, press the Menu buttons (ItemÏ and Set) again to exit default-setting mode.

Your new settings become the printer's defaults.

Turning Off the Lock-Out Mode: You can turn off the lock-out mode easily by using buttons on the control panel. Follow the steps below to turn off the lock-out mode.

a. Make sure the printer is turned off.

NOTE: Whenever you turn off the printer, wait at least 5 seconds before turning it back on; otherwise, you may damage the printer.

b. Press and hold both the Load/Eject and Pause buttons. While these buttons are pressed, turn the printer

on and the printer will beep once, indicating that the default-setting menu is unlocked.

To turn on the lock-out mode, repeat steps a and b. The printer beeps twice, indicating that the lock-out mode has been turned on.

MXL System

1. Installation of the PAL-1 in an MXL system requires that a Siemens model ANN-2 or ANN-3 is installed in the system. The ANN-2 and ANN-3 come installed in an MKB-5 or MKB-6 respectively. An ANN-3 is also included in model RCC-3.

2. Refer to the MKB-5/-5C Installation Instructions, P/N 315-048727, the MKB-6/-6C Installation Instructions, P/N 315-048722, and the RCC-3/-3R/-3C/-3FC/-3FR Installation Instructions, P/N 315-048665, for more details on connecting and programming MKB-5, MKB-6 and RCC-3 modules respectively to a PAL-1 printer.
