PRN-5 Printer (Notifier, Firelite, Gamewell)
PRN-5 Printer (Notifier, Firelite, Gamewell)
GENERAL
The PRN-5 printer is used with the NOTIFIER AM2020, AFP1010, AFC-600, AFP-400, AFP-300, AFP-00, AFP-100, NFS-640, and NFS-3030 fire alarm control panels to provide a written record of system events and status changes. The PRN-5 may also be used with the System 5000 or System 500 when used with the LCD-80 Liquid Crystal Display. When used with NOTIFIRENET, the PRN-5 may be used with the INA, NCA, NRT, or NCS.
FEATURES
Provides a hard-copy printout of all system events and status changes.
Time-stamps the printed record of each event and status change with the current time-of-day and date.
Uses standard 9" by 11" tractor-feed fan-fold paper.
Provides 80 columns of data at 10 characters per inch.
Provides printed record of system configuration and addressable device parameters.

APPLICATIONS
Use with NOTIFIER NFS-3030, NFS-640, AM2020, AFP1010, AFC-600, AFP-400, AFP-300, AFP-200, AFP-100, System 5000, System 500, NRT, NCS, NCA, or INA. Printed transaction records reduce the man-hours required to install and maintain a system. A printed record of all system events (alarms,
troubles, etc.) and status changes can be especially valuable in the event of a disputed incident.
CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION
The printer is housed in its own separate enclosure and is suitable for placement on a desk top, counter, or table.
INSTALLATION
The PRN-5 should be placed in a secure area to prevent theft of the printer and/or printed records.
The PRN-5 must not be located further than 50 ft./15.24 m (actual cable length) from the control panel.
The PRN-5 connects directly to the AFP-200 main PC board or AFP-300/AFP-400/AFC-600/NFS-640/NFS-3030 CPU board or to the Serial Interface Board (SIB-2048, SIB-2048A, SIB-NET, or SIB-232)
or the Display Interface Board (DIA-1010 or DIA-2020) in the AM2020 or AFP1010 control panel.
When used with the AFP-100, the PRN-5 connects to the PIM-24 option module.
When used with the INA, the PRN-5 can be connected directly within 50 feet (15.24 m).
When used with the System 5000 or System 500, the PRN-5 receives its information via the LCD-80 Liquid Crystal Display.
Messages programmed into the LCD- 80 nonvolatile memory will automatically be transmitted to the PRN-5 with a display of time and date.
The LCD-80 may be mounted in the System 5000 cabinet, or may be mounted remotely up to 6,000 feet (1828.8 m) from the cabinet.
When mounted remotely, the PRN-5 must be mounted within 50 ft. (15.24 m) of the LCD-80. On the NCS/NRT, the PRN-5 connects to the port.
Consult the control panel installation manual for the proper method and pin numbers used to complete the electrical connection to the control panel.
NOTE: If printer operation is required during failure of primary power, use of a separate UL-Listed Uninterruptable Power Supply (UPS) system is recommended.
