All wiring is 18 AWG (0.8231 mm
All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install the module
inside an UL-Listed electrical box wherever wire enters or exits the building. A
maximum of four 2081-9044 modules may be connected to one channel. The 2081-9044
is rated for 200 mA (maximum).
For Class B (Style 4) operation:
- The maximum distance to any device is 2,500 feet (762 m).
- "T" taps are allowed.
- Total maximum cable load is 10,000 ft (3,048 m), including t-taps and all parallel c
connections. Use .29 pF/ Ft shielded cable to meet capacitance spec.
For Style 4, 6 or 7 operation:
- The maximum allowed line-to-line capacitance ("+" to "-" terminals) is 0.58 uF.
- For applications with shielded wire, be sure that the total capacitance from line to
line plus the shield to either line is no more than 0.58 uF.
For Class A (Style 6 or Style 7) operation, the maximum loop distance is 2,500 feet (762
m). "T" taps are not allowed.
RUI comms are wired to remote cabinets from the CPU motherboard to the transponder
interface cards: 4100-0620 (566-093) or 4100-0625 (566-094).
Transponder interface cards operate with a single open or a single short circuit when
wired Class A (Style 7).
The master control panel must be a 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel or a 4100 ES Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
If 4602 and 4603 serial annunciators are present, circuit may be Style 4 or Style 6.
Annunciators do not isolate a short circuit fault, making Style 7 not possible.
Up to 4 RUI cards in the 4100 Control Panel can be used for distributing transponder wiring
in different directions or for supporting different wiring requirements.
Up to 31 transponders can be controlled from the 4100 Control Panel, and can be distributed
as required among the RUI cards.
