Typical 4100U MINIPLEX System One-Line Drawing
Introduction
4100U MINIPLEX transponders connect to a host
4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel using Simplex remote
unit interface (RUI) communications. At the transponder,
RUI communications are received by the transponder
interface module and translated into the same internal
communications format that is used in the host control
panel.
Remotely located modules. With RUI
communications, the transponder can remotely provide
the same initiating and notification functions that occur at
the host control panel without requiring multiple long
distance wiring runs. Connections to the host panel are
low current communications and audio wiring with
distances up to 2500 ft (762 m).
(Please refer to document S4100-0031 and the other
documents listed on page 6 for additional information
concerning the extensive initiating and notification
features of the 4100U fire alarm control panels.)
