MINIPLEX System Guidelines (4100U)

Overview

Guidelines

The rules on this page apply exclusively to MINIPLEX systems. Review each guideline before installing a MINIPLEX 4100U system.

•All wiring is 18 AWG (0.8231 mm2) (minimum) and 12 AWG (3.309 mm2) (maximum).

•All wiring is supervised and power-limited.

•All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install 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).

•AS1670 allows the loss of a maximum of 40 detectors/addressable devices to be caused by a single fault.

•For Style 4 operation:

-The maximum distance to any device is 2,500 feet (762 m).

-“T” taps are allowed.

-The total maximum distance (including all “T” taps) is 10,000 feet (3,048 m).

-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 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 one of the following transponder interface cards: 4100-0620 (566-093) or 4100-0625 (566-094).

•Annunciators and transponder interface cards support Style 7 operation when the system is wired Class A.

•The master control panel must be a 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel.

•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 4100U 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 transponders can be controlled from the 4100U Control Panel, and can be distributed as required among the RUI cards.
