 PRN 6F Printer Installation
When connected to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module, the PRN-6F prints the status changes
within the control panel and time-stamps the printout with the time of day and date that the event
occurred. It provides 80 columns of data on standard 9” x 11” tractor-feed paper. This section con-
tains information on connecting a printer to the control panel and setting the printer options.
Connecting PRN-6F Printer
Remote printers require a primary AC power source. If required for the fire alarm system configu-
ration (for example, a Proprietary Fire Alarm System), a remote printer requires a secondary power
source (battery backup). Since a secondary power source is not provided as a standard feature, a
separate UL-listed Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) should be used. The building emergency
power supply may be used, as long as it meets the power continuity requirements of NFPA 72.
Refer to NFPA 72 for further details.
Connect the remote printer to the FACP via the ANN-S/PG module using a standard DB-25 cable.
One end of the cable will plug into the DB-25 connector on the PRN printer and the other end plugs
into the parallel connector on the ANN-S/PG module. Note that the 9-pin DB-9 port on the ANN-
S/PG is used to connect a serial printer. The 25-pin port is used for a Centronics parallel printer
cable. Connect either a serial or parallel printer, but not both at the same time.
