Chapter 3 Installing 4100ES MINIPLEX Components
Introduction to MINIPLEX Transponders
Overview The 4100ES MINIPLEX system is comprised of a host panel containing everything required in
a standalone cabinet (see Chapter 3), plus:
• One or more remote MINIPLEX transponder cabinets
• A transponder interface card (TIC) in each transponder cabinet
This section describes each component.
Transponder
Cabinets
RUI Communication wiring from the RUI module in the host panel extends to a transponder
interface card (TIC) in a remote transponder cabinet. The transponder cabinet is simply a
2975-94xx Back Box with at least one TIC module in it, and can have one, two, or three bays.
Transponder
Interface Cards
(TICs) and Audio
Riser Modules
The following TICs, audio risers, and audio riser controller modules are available for 4100ES
MINIPLEX ® systems:
• Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module
• Local Mode TIC Module
• Analog Audio Riser Module
• Digital Audio Riser Module
• Network Audio Riser Controller Module
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) receive data from 4100ES host panels allowing remote
locations to perform fire alarm functions. TIC modules are optionally available with local
mode operation that provides basic (degraded mode) system functions in the event of a
communication loss with the master panel. TICs receive communications from the 4100ES
host panel using Remote Interface (RUI) communications with either Style 4 or Style 7 wiring.
For audio systems, audio riser modules are required and are connected directly to TIC modules
via ribbon cable. Audio riser modules support Class A and Class B analog wiring, as well as
Style 4 and Style 7 digital audio wiring.
Basic TICs The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains an RUI input, audio riser module
interface, and a port for connecting to other transponder modules.
The basic TICs use the same board, with some variations:
• The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains RUI outputs, an audio riser output, a
user interface output, and a port for connecting to motherboards.
• The only connectors on the addressable network audio interface module are the audio riser
output and a user interface output.
