The 4100-series IDNet Card allows the system CPU to communicate with up to 250 IDNet
peripherals, such as smoke detectors and pull stations.
The IDNet card is a flat, 4” by 5” option card that plugs into the power distribution interface
(hereafter referred to as PDI).
Figure 1 depicts the IDNet card.

• Steady on indicates channel failure.
• One repetitive blink indicates a line short.
