RUI communications

To provide fault tolerance, Class A loop wiring is required for RUI communications wiring from the 4100ESi
host panel to the Remote Fire Brigade Panel. The communications wiring connection is 1.5mm² shielded
twisted pair cable. The maximum distance around the loop is 1200 meters. Remote Transponders, including
the Remote Fire Brigade Panel, are connected to the loop in any order.
LT0432 4100ESi Wiring diagrams sheet number 600 shows the wiring between the 4100ESi and the
Remote Fire Brigade panel (Transponder unit).

Commissioning

The Transponder Interface Card (TIC) address is set using the 8 position DIP switch on the TIC. Set the
InfoAlarm+ display address using the touchscreen. These addresses must match the programmed addresses in
the host 4100ESi panel.
To provide 24 hour standby operation, two 12V12Ah batteries are connected to the Remote Fire Brigade
Panel as a back up to the ME0470 mains power supply. Battery leads are supplied with the Remote Fire
Brigade Panel.
The TIC monitors the power supply fault output, and fault signals pass to the host 4100ESi panel for indication.
Open the InfoAlarm+ display door to access the inside of the cabinet; this shows more detailed information
about any faults using a flashing pattern on the yellow indicator on the power supply. Refer to the information
label on the power supply for detail of the fault. The power supply does not require any configuration or
adjustment during commissioning.
