CERBERUS PYROTRONICSTM MODEL VDT
Interface for the CERBERUS PYROTRONICSTM MXL

INTRODUCTION

The CERBERUS PYROTRONICS™ Model VDT Interface for the MXL provides both an alternate way of displaying printer data (in place of the TSP-40) and an additional way to control the MXL through use of the keyboard option. By using the VDT types listed below, the operator can perform commands such as acknowledging events, silencing/unsilencing audibles, resetting the system, viewing system lists, changing detector sensitivities, controlling outputs, etc., from the VDT keyboard. The VDT Interface is available with MXL firmware revisions 2.12 and higher.

OPERATION

Once the MXL system is powered up, the VDT displays system information in the same way that a printer does. To access any type of input to the VDT, begin typing the command. MXL finishes the information it is printing first, and then it presents the command prompt, as shown below:
MXL command: (text typed) Type one of the available commands using the format listed. MXL processes the command in the same way it processes a command executed
from the MXL Menu at the MKB keyboard. If there are items waiting for printing, they take precedence over any List commands. To use Control functions from the VDT, enter the level 1 or 2 password from the CSG-M at the keyboard. Before entering any Control function command, type LON (the log-on commana) at the keyboard, followed by the appropriate password. If a Control command is entered before logging on, MXL indicates that the log-on is required.
NOTE: Commands are NOT case sensitive.

CSG-M Requirements
NOTE: CSG-M does not allow this option to be unsupervised in an NFPA 72 Proprietary system.
To use the VDT interface, set the printer option in the CSG-M Network Map, MKB subaddress, to one of the following (depending on the hardware available):
TI820KSR (supervised)
MXL-VDT 80 (supervised)
MXL-VDT 132 (supervised)
VDT 80 (unsupervised)
VDT 132 (unsupervised)
Keyboard control of the VDT is NOT available if one of the following is selected:
TI820KSRO
TSP-40 Strip printer
DEC LA50
Generic 80
Generic 132

Acknowledgment and Audible Commands
The Acknowledgment and Audible commands entered at the keyboard operate in the same way as they do when entered from the MKB. To execute any of the following commands, a password log-on is required (See LON command, page 5). Type the desired command at the prompt, followed by ENTER.
NOTE: The XL3 commands given in parentheses are honored for users accustomed to XL3 commands.

AAL – Acknowledge Alarm (AA)
ASP – Acknowledge Supervisory
ATR – Acknowledge Trouble (AT)
ASC – Acknowledge Security
When Block Acknowledge is selected in the CSG-M, it acknowledges all existing unacknowledged events for that event queue. Note that the acknowledgment is printed on the VDT, as it would be on the printer.
NOTE: The CSG-M does not allow block acknowledge for an NFPA 72 Proprietary system.

When Individual Acknowledge is selected in
the CSG-M, it acknowledges the most recent unacknowledged event in that event queue. Note that the acknowledgment is printed on the VDT as it would be on the printer.
SUA – Silence/Unsilence Audibles
The SUA command toggles the state of the system’s silenceable audibles.
CRS – Reset the MXL (CR)
When all events are acknowledged, all audibles are silenced, all queue information is printed, and the Control Reset command is issued, the MXL resets just as if it had been reset from the MKB. (Note that the XL3 command CR is honored for users accustomed to XL3 commands.)

Entering the LIST Commands from the VDT
The List commands give an identical output to the printouts obtained from the MXL menu using the PRINT key. Those commands are listed and described below.
Note that some of the commands include the notations m, m-d, etc. Replace these notations with the information given in the command description. When entering module or device number information, leading zeros are NOT required. Separate the data fields (i.e., module, device, arm, etc.) with either a space, a hyphen, or a comma.

Use the following settings in the setup menu when installing an unsupervised VDT with an unsupervised printer. The settings are given for several printers.
NOTE: The CSG-M selection for the termi-nal for all three printers listed below must be either VDT-80 or VDT-132 (unsupervised).
When installing a parallel printer, use a standard DB-25 (male) to Centronix printer cable.

NOTE: The function keys are programmed into the MXL-VDT terminal at system power-up.
CAUTION:** This table refers to whether or not the wiring connections are supervised The table does not refer to the type of printer used in the System. NOTES:

1. Terminals TB1-8 and 9 are connected together on the PIM-1.
2. The busy signal from the printer prevents the loss of characters if the printer falls behind. Refer to the printer manual for the proper pin [usually 11 (TB1-3) or 20 (TB1-9)J.

Figure 1 PIM-1 Connection Diagram

NOTES:

1. Refer to PIM-1 Installation Instructions. PM 315-091462, for the connection to MXL.
2. See PIM-1 to MXL-VDT Minimum Cabling Requirements table. page 11. for specific cabling requirements.
3. AC power connection is 110 VAC, 60Hz.
4. Maximum cable distance from PIM-1 (P3) to MXL-VDT is 25 feet. The modules and cable must be in the same room. 5. MXL-VDT auxiliary and parallel ports may be connected to UL-EDP listed printer which serves as an unsupervised ancillary device only.

Figure 2 MXL-VDT Installation Diagram
STANDBY POWER
The MXL-VDT requires a standby power source in the event of the loss of primary input power (AC mains.) Refer to Figure 3 below for the wiring diagram.
NOTES:

1. All wires 14 AWG min, 600V insulation.
2. Wiring to the printer and PIM-1 must be 14 AWG min, 600V insulation in conduit
3. Use the UPS ICS Lifeline Model 9300057.
4. Standby Power Requirements: 120 VAC. 0.6A for 24 hours.
