Introduction to the 4100U Fire Alarm System
Introduction
In this Chapter
The 4100/4100U is an expandable fire alarm system that can be used as a standalone
system with one host panel, or as a wide-ranging system with several remote cabinets,
with or without multiple host panels. This chapter is an overview of standalone,
MINIPLEX, and network 4100 system concepts.

System Configurations
Overview
The 4100U is available as a standalone system with one host panel, or as an expansive
system with several remote back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. The type of
configuration used depends on the size of the site into which it is being installed.
The following types of configurations are offered:
Standalone. Comprised of one FACP and its assorted warning devices, initiating devices,
and signaling line circuit devices.
MINIPLEX. A standalone system plus remote transponder cabinets, which allow for
additional slave modules to be used. Typically used for multi-level buildings and small
multi-building applications.
Network. A multi-FACP system connected by network cards. Each panel maintains the
status and control of its own circuit points while monitoring and controlling activity at
other locations. Network nodes may perform similar tasks, or may be dedicated to
specific functions.
This chapter outlines the fundamental concepts of each configuration.

Standalone Configuration
Overview
System Design
The standalone version of the 4100U is used for smaller or single-building applications. A
standalone system is ideally placed into a small building that requires a limited number of
notification appliances and initiating devices.
If a small building is being expanded, or if other buildings are being constructed in the
same general area (as in a campus application), the standalone 4100U can be expanded
into one of the larger systems described later.
The standalone 4100U uses one FACP (one, two, or three bays) containing the following:
• CPU
• System Power Supply for the 4100U (Universal Power Supply for the 4100)
• Optional slave cards
All appliances and devices are connected to that one FACP, as shown in Figure 1-1.

MINIPLEX Configuration
Overview
System Design
The MINIPLEX version of the 4100 Fire Alarm System, which is designed for
moderately larger applications than the standalone configuration, allows up to 1000
monitor and/or control points and 2000 annunciator points to be controlled by a single
FACP.
Like the standalone system, only one CPU is used. Remote Unit Interface (RUI) data, and
optionally power is distributed from the host panel to remote boxes called transponder cabinets. The exact system design varies, depending on whether the system is a 4100 or a
4100U:
• 4100U: Transponder interface cards (TICs), located in transponder cabinets, take
the RUI data directly from the CPU motherboard and distribute it to modules nearby,
thereby expanding the system’s status from standalone to MINIPLEX.
• 4100: Remote interface cards (RICs), located in transponder cabinets, take the RUI
data and optionally power from the remote unit interface (RUI) card in the host panel
and distribute it to modules nearby, thereby expanding the system’s status from
standalone to MINIPLEX.
The MINIPLEX 4100 FACP must contain the following:
• CPU
• System Power Supply for the 4100U (Universal Power Supply for the 4100)
• 4100 only (non-4100U): Remote unit interface (RUI) Card
• Optional slave cards
Each transponder cabinet, meanwhile, must contain a Transponder Interface Card (TIC)
and any number of optional slave cards.

MINIPLEX Configuration, Continued
RUI Communication
The 4100 internal comms bus may be used to carry data from the CPU in the main cabinet
to expansion equipment in a co-located cabinet. 4100 data from the CPU may be routed to
remote cabinets (RTUs) in a MINIPLEX system by using the external RUI comms bus.
An RUI line, routed from either the CPU Motherboard in the 4100U, or the RUI card in
the 4100, allows the data to travel long distances. Once the RUI line terminates at a
remote cabinet, the TIC (4100U) or RIC (4100) in that cabinet distributes the CPU’s data
to the other modules within the cabinet.
Power has to be supplied locally within each RTU, or routed from the main FIP.
Figure 1-2, below, outlines this process in a typical MINIPLEX setup.

Network Configuration
Overview
Hub and Star
Configurations
The 4100 can be expanded to a network system by using network interface cards (NICs).
When a NIC is installed into a 4100 host panel, it is used to connect to other network
nodes. Nodes may consist of other host 4100 panels, or they may be completely different:
Graphical Command Centers (GCCs), and Visual Command Centers (VCCs) are all
examples of what could be used as nodes. A node is a self-sufficient CPU that controls
appliances and devices, which also has the capability of controlling and communicating
with other nodes.
The network configuration supports two prevalent architectures (or wiring
configurations): hub (or ring), or star. A networked system can also use a combination of
the two.
The hub configuration consists of a main loop with nodes connected in a radial manner.
The star configuration consists of several nodes connected directly to one common node.
Physical bridge cards are used for the star configuration. Physical bridges reduce the
amount of wire that would otherwise be needed to connect all nodes in a loop, and
therefore cut down on system response time. A combination of the two styles is illustrated
in Figure 1-3.

Connecting Loops
Physical Bridge Link
Network loops can be joined via physical bridge cards. There may be no more than two
Style 7 network loops (two hub configurations) connected in tandem. For every two
loops that are interconnected (using one physical bridge), there can be a maximum of
three physical bridges used in a star configuration. See Figure 1-4.

Communication
To be used as a network node, a 4100 panel must contain the following:
• CPU
• System Power Supply
• 4100 Network Interface Card
• Optional slave cards
Network communication is achieved via 4100-6014 or 4100-6035 Network Interface
Cards (NICs). Each network node requires a NIC. Once the FACP is a network node, it
may be programmed to be fully in control of other nodes, or to be fully passive, or
anywhere in between.

Introduction
Chapter 2
Installing 4100U FACP Components
4100U cabinets are available in one-, two-, and three-bay sizes. Each can be equipped
with a solid or perspex door. This chapter describes how to mount all types of 4100U
cabinets to a wall, and how to mount system card bays into the cabinets, modules to bays,
etc.
FACPs are assembled to order within the factory. Steps 2 to 6 below are therefore not
typically required in the field, but are included in case of in-field system expansion.
The section Introduction to FACPs describes the various components that make up the
FACP.
The assembly drawings 1976-136, 1976-137 are included in the appendix of this manual
for reference.

Introduction to FACPs (4100U)
Overview
CPU Bay
4100U FACPs cabinets contain the CPU, operator interface, system power supply (SPS),
backup batteries, and any additional modules that the panel requires. The FACP is the
central hub (often referred to as a host panel) of a standalone or MINIPLEX fire alarm
system. In a networked system, the FACP can be connected to other system FACPs, so
that each host panel is a node on the network.
In the standard (USA) version of 4100U the CPU bay contains an SPS, the Master
Motherboard with CPU Daughter card, but no PDI to which 4” x 5” cards (e.g. IDNet
card) can be fitted. Also, it has the Operator Interface (I/F) on its front, so no switch/LED
display modules can be fitted to it.
In the Australian version the SPS is fitted to a bracket behind a side-hinged 4U door that
has the Operator I/F on it. The Master Motherboard (i.e. CPU Motherboard) is fitted to
the right hand side of an expansion bay mounted directly below. This bay has a PDI
fitted so can house 4”x 5”cards and Switch/LED Display Modules.

Additional CPU
Bay Modules
The operator interface lets a user operate the panel. It provides alarm, trouble, and isolate
status alerts, and lets the user review historical logs and perform diagnostics.
Figure 2-3. Operator Interface
The CPU bay can be equipped with many additional types of modules. The cards listed
below are limited to the CPU bay only.
4100-6030 Service Modem Card. CPU mezzanine card. Provides a connection to remote
PCs for diagnostics and programming purposes. (Not approved for use in Australia).
4100-6014 Modular Network Interface Card (NIC). A daughter card that mounts to the
CPU motherboard. Performs 4100 networking operations. May be installed with the
4100-6056 Wired Media Card and/or the 4100-6057 Fiber Media Card.

System Power
Supply (SPS)
In the USA, a number of variants of power supply are available, e.g. SPS, RPS, XPS,
XCharger each with different portions of circuitry (eg NACs, Battery Charger, IDNet)
fitted or not fitted. In Australia, only one variant (SPS) is currently available, and it has
hardware and software that are specific to Australia. This unit is used as the main power
supply, but may also be fitted directly to a card bay as an expansion supply.
The system power supply (SPS) is mains powered and has backup batteries that get
switched in on mains failure. It is the initial power source for the CPU and the host
cabinet. The SPS provides 24V card power to the CPU motherboard and the other cards.
It also supplies 24V power on a separate bus to the outputs, e.g. Notification Appliance
Circuits (NACs).
The SPS also has three on-board NACs that support reverse polarity supervision. It
provides an IDNet channel, auxiliary power, an auxiliary relay, and it mounts and drives
the Alarm Relay Card.
The SPS performs functions such as brownout detect, battery transfer, battery recharge,
earth fault detection, and power limiting of outputs. It provides voltage and current
information to the CPU card, which can then be displayed at the user interface.

The FACP is powered by the SPS (System Power Supply), which gets its primary power
from the AC mains and its secondary power from the backup batteries.
The 24Vdc bulk power on the SPS is unregulated, and is divided into three feeds, i.e. 24V
Card, 24V Signal, and 24V Aux Power. 24V Card which supplies the cards, and Aux
power, which is accessible on screw terminals, are each rated at 2A and protected by a
PTC. The 27.3V regulated battery charger is powered from the bulk supply and is
switched off during alarm. The batteries only get connected to the bulk supply when the
mains supply fails. The charger has two programmable options of rating, 1.4A for 618Ahr (called little-uns), and 3.3A for batteries above 18Ahr (called big-uns).
The “heavy” 24V Signal feed is only accessible via the NACs on the SPS, or via a wire
harness.
IMPORTANT: AC power must be provided to the 4100U from a dedicated
branch circuit.
In expansion bays, power and data are distributed via the power distribution interface
(PDI). The PDI is a wiring board with eight card slots, each of which can accommodate a
4-inch (102 mm) x 5-inch (127 mm) slave card. If motherboards are used, they must be
mounted over the PDI using metal standoffs.
Standards cards, e.g. IDNet, plugged onto the PDI access only the 24V Card supply.
If an XSPS is plugged onto the PDI, then the 24V Signal Bus is also powered. This is
required for the 4100MXP which uses card power to power its electronics, but signal

Step 1. Mounting Cabinets (4100U)
Overview
The important aspects of mounting the cabinet are:
Access for the operator;
Height of displays and controls;
Free space for door opening;
Cable entry for field wiring.
Refer to AS1670 for the height requirement and minimum access requirements.
In general, 18U – 28U cabinets will need to be wall mounted. Mounting holes and cabinet
dimensions are shown in drawing 1919-22b.
Door opening left/right should be specified with the order. The cabinets are symmetrical,
top to bottom, so door opening can be swapped by removing the equipment, rotating the
cabinet 180°, then re-fitting the equipment.
Step 2. Mounting Card Bays to Cabinets (4100U)
Overview
FACPs are ordered from the factory with bays and cards fitted as per the panel order
spreadsheet.
Additional mounting bays may be ordered as KT0447 which includes the 19” rac
mounting brackets and earth loom.
Attach each mounting bracket to the two studs in each front corner to achieve the format
shown below. Fit M6 cage nuts to the appropriate 19”rack holes, then attach the bay
using M6 countersunk screws.

Step 3. Configuring Cards (4100U)
Overview
Master Motherboard
Configuration
Master Controller
Daughter Card
Configuration
The CPU, SPS, and all other modules to be mounted in the FACP cabinets must be
configured to operate correctly in the system via their DIP switch and jumper ports. This
section describes the hardware configuration for the CPU and SPS, since they will always
be used in the CPU bay.
The CPU motherboard must be jumpered as follows:
P9 determines whether the RUI SHIELD signal is connected to 24 C or Earth.
• Position 1 – 2: SHIELD to 24 C (default). Set to this position unless the system
uses a TrueAlert Power Supply.
• Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth. Set to this position only if the system uses a
TrueAlert Power Supply.
Note: Some devices that connect to RUI have inherently grounded shield
terminals, in which case 24 C cannot be used. If 24 C is used, a
Negative Ground Fault will occur.
P10/P11: P10 is associated with Port 1 and P11 is associated with Port 2. P10 and P11 are
used to set the CPU motherboard up to be attached to either a network card or a RS232/2120 card.
• Position 1 – 2: Network card (NIC) attached to CPU motherboard (default).
• Position 2 – 3: RS-232/2120 card attached to CPU motherboard.
The master controller daughter card must be jumpered as follows:
P1 is used for engineering diagnostics (COMLAB).
• Position 1 – 2 : Download or no connection.
• Position 2 – 3 : Diagnostic mode.
P3 configures the RAM battery as ON or OFF.
• Position 1 – 2 : ON.
• Position 2 – 3 : OFF.
SPS Configuration
The SPS must be configured as follows:
SW1: Using DIP switch SW1, set the SPS device address. Use the address table in
Appendix A.
P2: If the SPS IDNet outputs are being used, you may change P2 to configure the IDNet
shield connection.
• Position 1 – 2 (bottom) : Connects the shield to 0 V (default).
• Position 2 – 3 (top) : Connects the shield to earth ground.
P3 configures relay 3 on the 4100-6033 Alarm Relay Card.
• Position 1 – 2 (top) : Removes fault monitoring on relay 3 (default).
• Position 2 – 3 (bottom) : Makes relay 3 activate when there is a fault.
P1: Earth connect jumper.
• Position 1 – 2 (rhs): Enables Earth fault monitoring. Set to this position unless the
system uses a TrueAlert Power Supply under common 0 V.
• Position 2 – 3 (lhs): Disables Earth fault monitoring. Set to this position only if the
system uses a TrueAlert Power Supply under common 0 V.

Step 3. Configuring Cards (4100U), Continued
PDI Configuration
P4/P5: The PDI can be configured to draw its power from different sources via P4 and
P5.
• To draw power from an XPS on the PDI, set jumpers on P4 and P5 to position 2
– 3.
• To draw power from P1 (from the previous PDI or SPS), set jumpers on P4 and
P5 to position
1 – 2 (default).
• To remove power from the PDI, remove the jumper from P4.
Configuring Other
Cards
Refer to the appropriate installation instructions to configure other cards that are located
in CPU and expansion bays. The 4100U ones are included in this manual. Refer to
Appendix D for a list of publications.
Step 4. Interconnecting Modules and Bays
Overview
Each card has to be interconnected with every other card in its bay. At the same time,
bays in the FACP also have to be connected together. Read this section to ensure that
cards and bays are interconnected. Refer also to drawings 1976-136 and 1976-137.
Guidelines
Review the following guidelines before interconnecting modules and bays.
• The SPS provides 24 V power to the CPU motherboard.
• The CPU motherboard provides 8 V (3 A capacity) for use by Legacy 4100 slave
cards. 24 V card power is routed through the motherboard for slave card use.
• 4100 internal comms and power are harnessed to other bays. Do not connect the 8 V
at P7 to an 8 V converter on a Goldwing or remote interface card.
• 24 V Card power from the SPS is rated at 2 A.
• The 4-wire coms and power harness carries only the 24 V Card supply to a PDI, and
not the 24V Signal supply.
• Some of the wire harnesses supplied with cards are not required. It is recommended
to store these spare harnesses in case of future requirements.

Interconnections
Use the following directions to connect the CPU to the SPS and other motherboards.
1. Connect P3 on the SPS to P1 on the CPU motherboard using the 8 wire harness
with eight-position Molex minifit connector (provided).
2. Make sure the 10 way, right angle header, connector P3 on the CPU is secured to
J1 on the next motherboard to the left. Repeat this for the third (leftmost)
motherboard, and on if applicable.
The power distribution interface (PDI) mounted to the back of each expansion cabinet
carries 24V Card power and data to each 4”x 5” card.
Refer to “Step 7: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)” for instructions on
mounting 4”x 5” cards to the PDI. Also bear in mind the following variations:
• In a remote expansion cabinet, a transponder interface card (TIC) requires additional
interconnections. This occurs in MINIPLEX systems. Refer to Chapter 3.
• Regular motherboards require non-PDI interconnections to each other and to the
CPU. Refer to “Step 5: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U).”
The 4 wire harness 734-008 is used to carry 24V Card power and coms from bay to bay.
Connector P1 on the PDI receives power from the previous PDI or from P6 on the SPS
(or alternatively from P7, P8 on the CPU Motherboard). P2 on the PDI is used to carry
power and coms to a 64/64 Controller. P3 is used to carry power and coms to the next
PDI.
Jumpers P4 and P5 on the PDI are set to positions 2-3 (right) to provide card power
to the bay only if an XPS is fitted to the PDI. Jumpers P4 and P5 are set to positions
1-2 (left) to provide card power to the bay from P1 on the PDI.
Note: Interconnections can become more involved if 4100 motherboards are
used. Refer to “Step 5: Installing Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)”
if this is the case.

Overview
Placement
Guidelines
This section contains guidelines and instructions on installing 4”x 5” cards and traditional
motherboards into 4100U card bays.
IMPORTANT: This section applies to aftermarket modules for expansion bays
only. If you do not need to install any aftermarket modules at all,
and if you have followed Steps 1 through 6, you have completed
the panel installation and can apply AC power.
Refer to the following guidelines before mounting 4” x 5” cards and/or motherboards to
an expansion bay.
• Each expansion bay assembly includes a chassis, two end supports, one LED/switch
frame, and a power distribution interface (PDI) board.
• An expansion bay holds up to eight 4” x 5” modules. A double-size module, such as
the expansion power supply (XPS), takes up two blocks of space as shown below.
The Australian SPS takes up four blocks of space (note, the double sized XPS is not
currently available for Australia).
• Cards should be added from right to left if an XSPS is fitted.

Step 6. Installing LED/Switch Modules into Expansion Bays (4100U)
Overview
The LED/switch user interface consists of a variety of modules, mounted to the front of
an expansion bay, which are configured via the 4100 Programmer. Each display module
contains between 8 and 24 switches and LEDs, each one separately configurable.
User interface functionality is driven by the 64/64 LED/Switch Controller Card, which
mounts behind two of the display modules (typically in positions 3 and 4). The varieties
of modules are as follows:
• 4100-1288 LED/Switch Controller Card with mounting plate.
• 4100-1289 LED/Switch Controller Card (no mounting plate; mounts on extra
space of 4100-1288).

per switch.
• 4100-1285 16-Switch/16-LED Display Card. With red LEDs.
• 4100-1286 Hands Off Auto (HOA) Switch Display Card. Provides 24 switches
and 24 LEDs. The HOA uses an overlay to group every 3 switches together,
denoting on, off, and automatic control of smoke control components. For every
group of 3 switches, there are 3 LEDs (green-red-green).
• 4100-1287 24-Switch/24-LED Display Card. With red LEDs.
• 4100-1279 2” Blank display cover module to cover empty front panel space
• 4100-1294 Slide-In Label Kit - one per 4100U cabinet
• 4100-1276 8-Pluggable LEDs with 8 red LEDs

The LED/switch controller card is a 4100 slave that mounts behind two LED/switch
modules. The LED/switch controller handles up to 64 switches and 64 LEDs on the
modules and communicates their status to the 4100 CPU. When a button is pressed on a
module, the controller acknowledges the signal and reacts according to how that switch
was configured via the 4100 Programmer.

Loss Feature
If more than 64 LEDs or 64 switches are used, a second controller may be installed.
LED 1. This LED illuminates if communication loss between the controller and the CPU
occurs. It is independent of jumper P1 (which configures different communication loss
features).
All types of modules are mounted to the front of a bay, and are connected to each other
via a ribbon cable. Each module operates by the same rules: when a button is pressed, the
controller card sends the CPU the information, and the event programmed for that button
occurs.
The 64/64 LED/switch controller requires physical configuration, but the LED/Switch
modules do not. Configuration consists of setting jumper P1 and setting the device
address. Device Address is covered in Appendix A.
If the LED/switch controller is used in a remote annunciator, it can make the LED/Switch
modules annunciate a communication loss condition. If communication loss occurs when
this setting is activated, LED 1 of the first connected display card illuminates, and the
piezo on the LED/switch controller sounds. The indication is silenced via the
corresponding switch (switch 1 on the first display card).
Use jumper port P1 to activate or deactivate the communication loss feature.
• Position 1 - 2 deactivates the feature (default).
• Position 2 - 3 activates the communication loss feature.

Introduction to MINIPLEX Systems (Non-4100U)
Overview
The 4100 MINIPLEX Fire Alarm System uses transponder cabinets containing remote
interface cards (RICs) to extend power and communication across large areas.
MINIPLEX transponders allow the system to provide applications for up to 1000 monitor
and/or control points and 2000 annunciator points (see note). Using 4100-style serial
communications, up to 31 distributed MINIPLEX transponder locations are possible for
initiating device circuit cards, MAPNET II/
LED/switch controls, auxiliary relay control cards, power supplies, and audio amplifiers.
By selecting the required combinations of modules and mounting MINIPLEX
transponders at the appropriate building locations, wire quantities are significantly
reduced for all monitor and control functions. Since power for the local modules is
provided from the local power supply, the wiring from the control panel need only be
separate twisted, shielded pairs for data, voice, and telephone.
Notes:
• One point consists of one LED or one switch on an LED/switch module, one
LED driver output on a graphic driver, or one switch input on a graphic switch
input module.
• Up to 32 modules can be controlled by one MINIPLEX transponder.

Installing the
RUI Motherboard
This section contains guidelines and instructions for mounting the RUI and RIC II
modules into 4100 cabinets.
• The RUI motherboard mounts into the CPU bay or, if necessary, an expansion bay.
• The RIC II mounts into expansion bays only.
Review the following guidelines before installing a motherboard into a cabinet.
• If a power supply is installed in the bay, it must be installed on the far right of
the bay and any relay modules must be installed in the slots immediately to its
left.
• Relay cards must be installed in the rightmost possible slots. This is necessary
to allow for the proper routing of non-power limited wiring, which could be
connected to a relay module.
Mount the RUI motherboard (562-799 or 562-856) in a master controller bay as described
below.
1. Orient the motherboard with the connector labeled J1 on the right and the header
labeled P1 on the left.
2. Match the connector on the previously installed motherboard with the pins on
the motherboard you are installing. Slide the motherboard to the left until the
pins are completely inserted in the connector of the previously installed

MINIPLEX Wiring (Non-4100U)
Overview
Wiring
Configurations
The RIC must be connected to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how
to wire the two together, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected
to the same host panel.
RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.
Class A wiring allows transponder cabinets to communicate with the FACP even in the
event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are
routed from the CPU motherboard to each RIC, and then back again to the CPU
motherboard.
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per
installation than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line
resistors, because each RIC communicates directly to the CPU.
Make sure these prerequisites are accounted for before wiring:
• AS1670 allows the loss of a maximum of 40 detectors/addressable devices to be
caused by a single fault.
• All transponder cabinets are installed within 2500 feet (762 m) of the FACP.
• Conductors test free of all grounds.
2
• All wires are between 12 (3.309 mm
) and 18 AWG (0.8321 mm2), or as the
local code dictates.
Class A Wiring
Class B Wiring
To connect the RUI card to RICs using Class A wiring, read the following instructions
and refer to Figure 3-7, on the next page.
1. Route wire between 0.75 mm
2
and 4 mm2 from the + (TB1-8) and - (TB1-6)
terminals on the Comms “A” block of the 562-856/565-217 RUI card to the
TB1-8 (+) and TB1-6 (-) terminals on the 565-233 RIC.
2. Route wire from the first RIC to the next one. Repeat for each transponder
cabinet within 2500 feet (762 m).
3. Route wire from TB1-7 (+) and TB1-5 (-) on the last RIC to + (TB1-4) and (TB1-2) on the Comms “B” block of the 562-856/565-217 RUI card.
To connect the RUI card to RIC II cards using Class B wiring, read the following
instructions and refer to Figure 3-7, on the next page.
1. Route wire between 0.75 mm
2
and 4 mm2 from the + (TB1-8) and - (TB1-6)
terminals on the Comms “A” block of the 562-856/565-217 RUI card to the
TB1-8 (+) and TB1-6 (-) terminals on the 565-233 RIC.

Introduction to MINIPLEX Transponders (4100U)
Overview
Transponder
Cabinets
Transponder
Interface Cards
(TICs)
The 4100U MINIPLEX system is comprised of a host panel containing everything
required in a standalone cabinet (see Chapter 1), plus:
• One or more remote MINIPLEX transponder cabinets
• A transponder interface card (TIC) in each transponder cabinet
This section describes each component in turn.
RUI Communication wiring from the RUI module in the host panel extends to a
transponder interface card (TIC) in a remote transponder cabinet. The transponder cabinet
has at least one TIC module in it, and can have one, two, or three bays.
The following TICs, audio risers, and audio riser controller modules are available for
4100U and/or 4100U MINIPLEX ® systems:
• Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module
• Local Mode TIC Module (not currently available in Australia)
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) receive data from 4100U host panels allowing remote
locations to perform fire alarm functions. TIC modules are optionally available with local
mode operation that provides basic (degraded mode) system functions in the event of a
communication loss with the master panel. TICs receive communications from the 4100U
host panel using Remote Interface (RUI) communications with either Style 4 or Style 7
wiring.
Basic TICs
The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains an RUI input, and a port for
connecting to other transponder modules.
The basic TICs use the same board, with some variations:
• The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains RUI outputs, an audio riser
output, a user interface output, and a port for connecting to motherboards.
Continued on next page

Page 71
Introduction to MINIPLEX Transponders (4100U), Continued
The Local Mode TIC
(Not currently
available in
Australia).
The local mode TIC contains an RUI input, port for connecting to other transponder
modules, and terminal block for connecting to an optional Local Mode Controller. Local
Mode Controllers are mounted remotely from the transponder. Installation instructions are
supplied with the controller.
Local mode operation allows a TIC to provide life safety operations in the event of a
communication loss with the master controller. More specifically, this provision means
that fire alarm inputs and outputs within the transponder cabinet can still work in a limited
capacity to allow continued functioning of local initiating devices and notification
appliances connected to the TIC. Local mode is considered a “degraded” mode of
operation because full fire alarm system functionality is not guaranteed.
Because the TIC is a slave module that occupies an RUI address, it can indicate a trouble
condition to the master controller in the event of a hardware failure. When local mode is
initiated, all slave devices locally connected to the TIC are notified by the TIC that local
mode is taking effect. From that point until communication is restored to the master
controller, the TIC
”group-polls” all connected local slaves, and the slaves respond only in the event of an
alarm input activation. Other status changes, including troubles, are not reported.

Configuring Cards (4100U)
Overview
CPU Motherboard
DIP Switch
TIC Configuration
Configuring Other
Cards
The TIC and all other cards to be mounted in the transponder cabinet and attached
expansion bays must be configured to operate correctly in the system via their DIP switch
and jumper ports. The CPU motherboard may have to be configured as well.
P9 on the CPU motherboard determines whether the RUI SHIELD signal is connected to
24 C or Earth.
• Position 1 – 2: SHIELD to 24 C (default).
• Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth.
Note: Some devices that connect to RUI have inherently grounded shield
terminals, in which case 24 C cannot be used. If 24 C is used, a
Negative Ground Fault will occur.
The TIC must be assigned a device address via DIP switch SW1. Refer to Appendix A for
the address switch table.
Refer to the appropriate publication to configure other cards that are located in the
transponder cabinet and attached expansion bays.

The TIC must be connected to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how
to wire the two together, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected
to the same host panel.
RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.
Class A wiring allows transponder cabinets to communicate with the FACP even in the
event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are
routed from the CPU motherboard to each TIC, and then back again to the CPU
motherboard.
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per
installation than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line
resistors, because each TIC communicates directly to the CPU.
Note: Use supplied ferrite beads with TICs. Loop wires once through the
supplied ferrite bead(s) as shown in Figure 4-4.

Introduction to the 4100 Network Interface Card (NIC)
Overview
The Network Interface Card (NIC) is a slave card that uses the standard 4100 serial bus to
communicate with the master. The NIC connects FACPs in a network, allowing for
communication between each panel via fiber, modem, or twisted shielded pair wire.
The NIC is designed to be connected in a point-to-point arrangement, so that one wire
fault does not cause the entire system to fail. The point-to-point arrangement provides the
most secure and fault-tolerant wiring possible.
Two types of media boards can be used with the NIC card.
• The Fiber-Optic Media Card can be used for electrically noisy environments or
for connecting externally to other buildings.
• The Wired Media Card is used in all other types of applications.
Up to two media boards can be plugged into each NIC. The same NIC can use a
combination of two types of media boards (for example, a NIC may have a wired media
card connected to port 1 and a fiber-optic media card connected to port 2).

Step 2. Mounting Media Cards to the NIC
K
Overview
Media Card
Mounting
The 4100-6014 Network Interface Card (NIC) uses media cards to connect to other NICs.
This section describes how the media cards are mounted onto NICs.
NICs connect to each other via the three types of media cards. The types of media cards
in the right and left ports are determined by the type of wiring that is being used across
cards.
Connect P1 on the wired media card, or J1 on the modem or fiber media cards, to P5 (the
left port) on the NIC.
To connect a second media card to the same NIC, connect it as described above, but use
P6 (the right port) on the NIC. Note that any two types of media cards can be connected
to the same NIC.

Step 4. Wiring Network Cards
Overview
Wiring Guidelines
The nodes in the network now have to be wired together, so that the NIC in one host
panel connects to the NIC in the next panel. This section contains guidelines and
instructions for NIC wiring.
Refer to the following guidelines whenever field wiring the NICs.
• Network nodes must be wired right to left port, regardless of the media type
selected.
• Style 7 protection is achieved by wiring the nodes in a loop fashion. A single
fault (except an Earth fault) will cause the network to reconfigure for degraded
Style 7 (Style 4) operation. A second fault (except an Earth fault) will result in
the network dividing into two separate networks.
• Style 4 is achieved by wiring the nodes in a linear fashion. Style 4 networks are
not fault-tolerant and a single fault (except an Earth fault) will result in the
network dividing into two separate networks.
• Earth fault detection is performed on the left port only. When a network Earth
fault occurs, the trouble is only reported on the node whose left port is connected
to the span.
2
• All 18 AWG (0.8231 mm
must be twisted-shielded pair. All 24 AWG (0.2047 mm
) wiring used with 4100-6056 Wired Media Cards
2
) (telephone cable) used
with 4100-6056 must be twisted pair. When shielded cable is used, the shield
must be terminated to chassis Earth on the left port only.
• It is permissible to use mixed media in a network. For example, some spans may
be “wired media” while others are optical fiber or telephone modem.
• Each NIC has a jumper for selecting between network data rates of 57.6 kbps
and
9.6 kbps. All cards in the network must be set for the same rate. (When modem
media or physical bridging is used, the data rate must be set for 9.6 kbps).
• Each NIC has a jumper for selecting between 8- and 9-bit network protocols. All
cards in the network must be set for the same network protocol. (When modem
media or physical bridging is used, the protocol must be set for 8-bit).
• All network wiring except the shield is supervised and power limited.
• When wiring leaves the building, 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protectors are required.
One overvoltage protector is installed where wiring leaves the building; another is
installed where wiring enters the next building.

Dual Fiber Optic Cable Connections. The standard fiber optic connection between
network nodes uses two fiber optic cables, one for transmit, and the other for receive.
This connection allows for optimum communications distance.
The available communications distance is determined by the properties of the specific
fiber cable used. Distances can be determined using the information and examples shown
below in Table 6-3.
Single Fiber Optic Cable Connections. For applications where a single fiber cable is
available, or where use of a single cable is desired, using a model 4190-9010
Bi-Directional Coupler at each node combines the separate transmit and receive signals
into a single path (refer to the requirements list).
This connection allows use of a single fiber cable, but it does reduce communications
distance as indicated in the information and examples shown below in Table 6-4.
