Figure 17: Using a Printer 
The SERIAL PRINTER connector enables a serial 
(RS232) printer to be connected directly to the control 
panel, such as a DATAC printer. Connection details are 
shown in Figure 18. 
 The printer can, for example, be used to: 
• Produce a hardcopy record of system 
programming details. 
• Print logged events. The system can be configured 
to enable online printing, where logged events are 
automatically printed as they occur. 
The printer must be set up with the following 
communication settings: 4800 baud, eight data bits, 
one stop bit, one start bit, no parity and DTR normal.

Output Module Connector 
("20" in Figure 2.) 
CPA6 output modules (now obsolete) can be 
connected to the OUTPUT MODULE connector to 
provide eight additional 100mA switched-negative 
programmable outputs per module. The outputs can 
be used to drive LEDs or other low-power devices (see 
Figure 19). 
Each output module is supplied with an interface lead, 
which enables easy connection to the control panel (or 
to an MSNode). 
When the output module is connected to the control 
panel, the outputs can be programmed to indicate 
ward status or zone alarms. 
For further details, please refer to the CPA6 Output 
Module Installation Instructions.

Engineer Keypad Connector 
("21" in Figure 2.) 
A keypad set with its ID selector switch set "ENG" can 
be connected directly to the ENGINEERS KEYPAD 
connector on the control panel, using the Engineer 
Keypad Interface (EKI) lead. (Figure 20 provides 
connection details.) 
An engineer's keypad is intended to be temporary 
connected to the control panel for system 
configuration and testing at the control panel. The 
keypad can be disconnected without causing an alarm. 
Once a system has been set up, system configuration 
should normally be carried out from a keypad 
attached to Network 1 or 2. 
The zone and output terminals on an engineer's 
keypad cannot be used.

Serial Connection to PC 
("22" and "23" in Figure 2.) 
Optionally, a local PC running the Menvier Downloader 
software can be connected to the control panel for 
system configuration and data uploading. The PC can 
connect to the panel's USB port ("22" in Figure 2) or 
Serial RS232 port ("23" in Figure 2). 
When using the RS232 port, use a null-modem serial 
cable – wiring details are shown in Figure 21.
