RUI Wiring (4100U)

Overview

The TIC must be connected to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how

 

to wire the two together, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected

 

to the same host panel.

Wiring

 

RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.

Configurations

 

Figure 4-4. The

Ferrite Bead

Class A wiring allows transponder cabinets to communicate with the FACP even in the event of an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are routed from the CPU motherboard to each TIC, and then back again to the CPU motherboard.

Class B wiring allows “T” tapping, and therefore requires less wiring distance per installation than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line resistors, because each TIC communicates directly to the CPU.

Note: Use supplied ferrite beads with TICs. Loop wires once through the supplied ferrite bead(s) as shown in Figure 4-4.

The illustration below shows both types of wiring.
