Overview
The TIC (except for the Network Audio Riser Controller Module) 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 Wiring
RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.
Configurations
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
Figure 7 shows both types of wiring.
