The control panel can communicate with a remote terminal or computer connected to the EIA-232 PC/Terminal port. Refer to the NFS-320 Installation Manual for installation information. NOTE: See the NFS-320 Programming Manual for instructions on enabling the CRT. This port may be set up for interactive operation or for monitoring only. Interactive operation requires that all equipment be UL-listed under UL Standard for Safety UL 864 and be installed and set up as directed under Local Terminal Mode (LocT) or Local Monitor Mode (LocM).
Use with UL ITE-listed terminals, including personal computers with the VeriFire™ Tools or terminal emulation software.
