MINIPLEX System Guidelines (Non-4100U)

Overview

Guidelines

The rules on this page apply exclusively to MINIPLEX systems. Review each guideline
before installing a MINIPLEX 4100 system.
•
The Style 4 RUI card supports MINIPLEX transponders and 4602/4603 serial
annunciators on the same signaling line circuit.
•
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 (such as
using a Style 7 RUI for serial annunciators).
•
Up to 31 MINIPLEX transponders can be controlled from the 4100 Control Panel,
and can be distributed as required among the RUI cards.
•
"T" tapping is not allowed unless less than 40 detectors/addressable devices are
connected to the MINIPLEX.
•
Wiring from RUI cards is a minimum of 18 AWG (0.75sqmm) twisted, shielded pair.
•
The maximum wiring distance from the 4100 RUI card to a MINIPLEX transponder
is 2500 feet (762 m). For Style 4 wiring, this can be extended to 10,000 feet (3 km)
maximum if "T" tapping is used.
