L The display will show COMMS MODE 0. The following chart summarizes the choices:
0 - Used in a polled environment (e.g., DVACS
(tm)
, PANELMAN, autodial modem, etc.).
1 - Used when a serial-input logging printer is directly connected to the panel.
2 - Used when the panel is both polled and a Model 3302R3 port splitter is connected to
the panel to permit simultaneous use of a logging printer.
If 0 is the desired selection, press the RETURN key. The display will show SYSTEM ID 0.
Proceed to SYSTEM ID shown in bold type on page 55.
If a logging printer only is desired, enter a 1 and then press the RETURN key. The word length
(data bits), parity, and baud rate will be chosen later. When configured for a printer only, the RX
panel input is used as a "busy input" from the printer and should normally be held high (+ve) to
allow real time events (e.g., arming, disarming, zone shunting, etc.) to be printed. If the printer
does not provide a busy output, RX should be linked to +12 volts DC via a 2K2-ohm resistor
(see chart below). If a logging printer and polling is desired, enter a 2 and then press the
RETURN key. The logging printer word length (data bits) and baud rate are fixed at eight data
bits and 2400 baud respectively. The printer parity must match the polling application (i.e., even
parity for DVACS
(tm)
, no parity for autodial modem). At this time, RX becomes the receive data
line. See complete instructions accompanying the EUROPLEX Model 3302R3 port splitter.
COMMS MODE 1: LOCAL PRINTER CONNECTION

39/J23 Tx .................... 3 (Rx)
40/J24 Rx .................... 4 (RTS) On/Off line **
** The On-/Off-line output may vary between printers. The above is valid for the Citizen Model
GSX 190 dot-matrix printer (EUROPLEX product code 1510). Consult your serial-interface
manual for other printers.
If the Comms Mode was changed to a 1 or 2 and the RETURN key was pressed, the display will
show TRANSMIT NAME NO. If the name and address of the installation are not to be printed
at the start of any data sent to the printer, press the RETURN key to proceed. However, if you
wish this information to be printed, press the YES key. The display will show ENTER
NAME/ADDRESS for a moment and then the current name and address, if any. This can be
edited or entered as required. This feature is intended for installations where a number of
APLEX control panels share a common printer and printing the name allows identification of the
data from each control panel. Press the RETURN key to proceed.
