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.
