Tyco 4100U - Manual (Page 20)

1-2
The 4100U is available as a standalone system with one host panel, or as an expansive
system with several remote back boxes, with or without multiple host panels. The type of
configuration used depends on the size of the site into which it is being installed.
The following types of configurations are offered:
Standalone. Comprised of one FACP and its assorted warning devices, initiating devices,
and signaling line circuit devices.
MINIPLEX. A standalone system plus remote transponder cabinets, which allow for
additional slave modules to be used. Typically used for multi-level buildings and small
multi-building applications.
Network. A multi-FACP system connected by network cards. Each panel maintains the
status and control of its own circuit points while monitoring and controlling activity at
other locations. Network nodes may perform similar tasks, or may be dedicated to
specific functions.
This chapter outlines the fundamental concepts of each configuration.
