Master-satellite connections are hardwired with RS-422, or wireless connected. The use of B&B
Electronics Zlinx Radio Modems for a wireless connection is described in Product Bulletin 133. A kit
including a pair of Zlinx Radio Modems is available from Syn-Tech under part number 249912.
Perform the following to make a hardwire master-satellite connection:
a. Jumpers must be installed on S1, SATELLITES INSTALLED JUMPERS, in the upper right
corner of the Satellite I/O Control Board. Jumper positions are numbered 1 through 8. The
master FMU must have a jumper installed in each position which corresponds to the satellite
connectors in use on the I/O Silver Board. Example: if satellites are connected to positions 1, 2,
and 3 of the master FMU I/O Silver Board, jumpers must be installed in positions 1, 2, and 3 of
S1. The satellite must have one jumper installed in the position corresponding to the position in
use on the I/O Silver Board. In most cases, this will be position 1.
b. An I/O Silver Board must be installed in each FMU, and contain the appropriate number of
connectors JP1 through JP8, and 5-pin terminal plugs, to make the required master-satellite RS-
422 cable connections.
c. Ribbon cable part number 209023 is connected between SATELLITE CONNECTORS J5 and/or
J6 on the Satellite I/O Control Board, and JP9 and/or JP10 of the I/O Silver Board. On the
Satellite I/O Control Board, use J6 for satellites 1 through 4, and J5 for satellites 5 through 8. On
the I/O Silver Board use JP9 for satellites 1 through 4, and JP10 for satellites 5 through 8.
d. Pull an RS-422 cable from the master to each satellite to be connected. Cables cannot be daisy-
chained from one satellite to the next. Each satellite must have an RS-422 cable routed to the
master FMU.
e. Note the RS-422 COMMUNICATIONS WIRING
chart at the bottom of Figure 4-24, and make the
cable connections in both FMUs leaving the cable drain disconnected at one end.
10. Indoor Receipt Printer (see Figures 4-22 and 4-23 for connections). The indoor receipt printer
requires connection to an I/O Silver Board having part numbers 203610, 203629, or 221813. A part
number 972A0102 cable is connected between J2 RECEIPT PRINTER on the Satellite I/O Control
Board, and JP11 DIRECT CONNECT on the I/O Silver Board.
The printer used for the application is an Epson TM-U200D serial printer. It is programmed with
dipswitches to XON/XOFF, 8 data bits, odd parity, and 9600 baud. If the printer is purchased from
Syn-Tech Systems, a printer cable with part number 201669 will be shipped with the printer. An RS-
232 cable is pulled from the FMU to the receipt printer location. If a cable is developed for the
interface, a DB25 connector will be required for connection to the printer.
A cable with 3 conductors must be used. If the cable is pulled in a conduit with other low voltage
conductors, the cable should be shielded. If the distance is under 300 feet, a cable with 22 AWG
conductors will perform satisfactory. If the distance is greater than 300 feet, increase the size of the
conductors to 18 AWG.
Use Table 4-4 for connection points. If a cable is manufactured to make the printer connection, use
the column “Receipt Printer DB25 Pin” to make the printer DB25 connections. If the 201669 printer
cable is connected to the printer, use the column “201669 Cable Color” to determine connection
points for the RS-232 cable pulled to the FMU.
