The NOTIFIER IDR-MD Mimic Driver kit (PN: 020-574) is provided as part of a versatile system to provide effective mimic display
solutions. The installer is responsible for the correct assembly and electrical interconnection of the various components of the IDR Mimic
system. The kit is simple to install providing the instructions described below are followed.
The kit comprises one mimic driver PCB and two mimic driver termination PCBs mounted on separate chassis. One ribbon cable is
provided for interconnection between the mimic driver PCB and the mimic control PCB (provided in kit PN: 020-573) or the previous mimic
driver PCB. Up to eight driver PCBs can be driven by one mimic control PCB. Two ribbon cables are provided for interconnection between
the mimic driver PCB and the two driver termination PCBs. Each driver termination PCB can support the connection of up to 32 LEDs or
relays (selected by jumper links) and also has 8 I/O lines. The IDR-MD mimic driver kit is designed for installation either using a third-party-
provided chassis/enclosure or the NOTIFIER ID/NFXXXX Adapter Mimic Kit (PN: 020-597) for 19” rack mounting applications. The
installation must meet the Environmental specifications defined in the IDR-M Mimic Control Board manual (ref. 997-412).

Jumper LinksJumper Links
The 64 output channels are arranged in two banks of 32. Each bank is
arranged in four groups of 8 outputs. Each group is provided with a
jumper link which configures the group to drive either LEDs or relays:
JUMPER LINK FITTED = GROUP DRIVES RELAYS
JUMPER LINK NOT FITTED = GROUP DRIVES LEDs
The groups can be configured independently, i.e. within a bank some
groups may drive relays and others may drive LEDs.
CAUTION:
Ensure that jumper links are configured correctly. If an LED is
connected to an output for which the link is fitted, the LED will
have a short life expectancy. Conversely, if a relay is connected
to an output for which the link is not fitted, the relay will not
operate.

Cabling and Wiring ConnectionsCabling and Wiring Connections
Up to eight mimic driver boards can be driven by one control board.
Connection between each ‘daisy-chained’ mimic driver board, and
between the control board and the first mimic driver, is via a Serial to
Parallel Interface (SPI) bus. A 10-way ribbon cable is supplied for the
interconnection (using the connector marked IN) of:
i) The first mimic driver board and the control board (ZE), or
ii) The mimic driver board and the previous ‘daisy-chained’
mimic driver board connector (marked OUT).
Two 40-way ribbon cables are supplied for interconnection between
the mimic driver board and two mimic termination boards, using
connectors J4 (first group of 32 zones) and J3 (second group of 32).
Note: If the supplied 40-way ribbon cables are not long enough for
your site application, use a suitable alternative, up to a
maximum length of 10m. The system uses standard
specification ribbon cable: 28AWG, 0.050” pitch. Connectors
used are 40-way, bump-polarised, female plugs.
For the discrete wiring between the Mimic Termination board and the
LEDs (maximum of 10m): 7/0.2 wire is recommended.
Each mimic driver board chassis plate is provided with an M4 earth
stud (M), one of which MUST be connected to earth - earthing of the
other units is provided through the interlocking-chassis arrangement.
A simple schematic diagram showing all required power and signal
connections is shown at left. For more details, refer to the IDR-M
Mimic Installation and Commissioning Manual (ref. 997-412).

Note: To reduce EMI and prevent damage to the drive circuit, diodes
should be connected across each relay coil as illustrated.
The method of ‘daisy-chaining’ Mimic Driver Boards, and of earthing
them, is identical to that described above for LED connections.
Simple schematic diagrams showing all required power and signal
connections are shown at left. These examples cover the possibilities
that the Mimic is located adjacent to the panel and that it is located
remote from the panel. Both examples show only one Mimic Driver
Board and one Termination board for simplicity.
Further details are given in the IDR-M Mimic Installation and
Commissioning Manual (ref. 997-412).
The discrete wiring between the Mimic Termination board and the
relays must be suitable for the purpose.
