Description

The PAL-1 is a UL listed parallel printer for use with the MXL, CXL, MXL-G, MXL-GT, CXL-G and NCC. It provides a hard copy record of all system events. It also allows printing of system maintenance and diagnostic reports.
When used with the MXL the PAL-1 requires connection to PIM-2 and PIM-1. When used with CXL, the PIM-2 is required to connect the PAL-1 to the CXL’s printer port on the CXC-2 module.
The printer is a 24 pin wide carriage dot matrix with Centronics® type interface. It is supervised for AC power, ON/OFF line, paper out, paper jam and connection to the FACP.
When used in an NFPA 72 proprietary configuration, a UL listed UPS must be supplied.

PIM-2/MXL Wiring Diagram

NOTES:

1. Maximum cable distance from PIM-1 to PIM-2 cable is 25 feet. The two modules must be in the same room.
2. The maximum distance from the PIM-2 to the parallel printer is 6 feet. The two modules must be in the same room.
3. PIM-2 power (PWR) is connected to the 5 VDC, 600mA transformer supplied with PIM-2. The transformer requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz, 0.5A max.
4. For NFPA 72 Local, Auxiliary, and Remote Station configurations, connect the output of the PIM-2 to any UL listed EDP Centronics® parallel printer.
5. The parallel printer must support the EPSON FX command set.
6. The PIM-2 input and output connectors are DB-25 female.
7. Pressing RESET on the PIM-2 causes the unit to read the SW1 settings. The status LED is lit when the unit is powered. Do not use the COPY button.
8. For NFPA Proprietary and UL 1076 configurations, use parallel printer Model PAL-1, a UL listed for fire Centronics® parallel printer.
9. The parallel printer is supervised for AC, on/off line, paper out, paper jam and connection to the PIM-2.
10. The PIM-2 is supervised for power, connection to the printer and connection to the PIM-1.
