General Information
N OTE : If the 69255-001 Page/Party

GAI-Tronics Service Department must be contacted to modify the system configuration. If the PPI is
being used as a replacement part, proceed as described herein.
The 69255-001 Page/Party ® Interface (PPI) is a printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) used to interface
Page/Party ® field equipment to the 69254 Series or 69440 Series Master Control Unit (MCU). The PPI
PCBA is housed in a 10457 Series Card Rack with the MCU and other associated PCBAs. For each
Page/Party
® zone or control area that exists in a system, one PPI is required.
