Tyco 4100U - Manual (Page 62)

3-34
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.
