1.10.1 Overview

The control panel is compatible with the following printers and display devices that connect through the EIA-232 interface on CPU terminal TB4:

• PRN printer

• Keltron remote printer

• CRT-2 display terminal

For installation instructions for these devices, refer to “EIA-232 Devices – Remote

Printers and CRTs (TB4)” on page 37.

1.10.2 PRN Remote Printer

The PRN is an optional printer that connects directly to the control panel through TB1 on the CPU and can be located up to 50 feet (15.24 m) from the control panel. It features the following:

• Provides a printed record (80 columns of data on standard 9" x 11" tractor-feed paper) of all system events (alarm, trouble) and status changes within the system.

• Time-stamps the printout with the current time-of-day and date.

Note: Time stamping is a function of the AFP-200 panel.

1.10.3 Keltron Remote Printer (Model VS4095)

The VS4095 is a two-color (red and black), 40-column, 24

VDC printer that can print up to 50 messages in 90 seconds. This printer connects to the EIA-232 TB4 in the control panel through TB1 on the CPU, from which it gets its power, and mounts in a separate cabinet next to the control panel. The VS4095 meets UL fire and security requirements for an ancillary device. For more information on the Keltron printer, contact the manufacturer (Keltron Corp., Waltham, MA). Refer to “Keltron Printer” on page 38 for installation instructions.

1.10.4 CRT-2 Display Terminal

The optional CRT-2 Display Terminal connects to the control panel via the EIA-232 serial interface (TB4) and can be located up to 50 feet (15.24 m) from the control panel. The CRT-2 displays data on 26 lines by 80 columns and allows you to do the following:

• Control and view events, points, and event history

• Control the system (Acknowledge, Alarm Silence, and System Reset).

• Change important system operating parameters, such as enable/disable of addressable points, change alarm and pre-alarm sensitivities, clear verification counters, clear history, and set the pre-alarm action level.
