Description
With one parallel and one RS-232 serial port, the 5824 Serial/Parallel Interface Module allows you to connect virtually any standard PC-compatible printer to the Honeywell Silent Knight® Series Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs) to generate reports on-site.
Connecting a printer to the FACP allows you to print a log of real-time events and generate user-friendly reports of event history and detector status. Also, because a system can have multiple 5824 modules, you can locate printers strategically throughout the installation. The 5824 also provides the gateway interface for communicating to other systems, such as a building control system. The gateway protocol is a data stream produced by the FACP that can be used to display system events on a PC monitor. The protocol allows a building control system to handle events and to silence or reset the FACP. The gateway protocol can be used to interface with CadGraphics, the PC-based graphics annunciator software (available from Honeywell).
