Overview
Specifications Refer to the following environmental and power specifications:
Overview The remote display assembly (RDA) is a surface-mounted version of the Flexible User Interface. The
unit is mounted remotely from the FACP and wired back to it via remote unit interface (RUI) wiring.
Since the printed circuit boards and LCD are factory-installed within the RDA enclosure, hardware
installation consists of surface mounting the enclosure to the wall, and completing the RUI circuit
connection. The 4100-9401 Flexible User Interface remote display assembly contains the following:
• Flexible User Interface panel assembly
• 566-141 transponder interface card (TIC)
• Remote box 13”X20.5”

Installing the Remote Display Assembly
Prepare the
Remote Box
In order to install the RDA, the back box must be prepared for installation. The contents of the box must
be removed and a wiring hole must be drilled into the back of the box.
1. Unscrew the grounding wire from the door of the box. The wire is held in the inside top right corner
of the door by a nut and washer.
2. Remove the door from the box. The door sits on the hinge, and must be lifted in order to separate it
from the hinge.
3. Locate the panel release tabs that extend past the top corners of the Flexible User Interface
assembly. Press the panel release tabs in, and pull the Flexible User Interface panel assembly
forward. The panel is now set perpendicularly to the back box.
4. Remove all wires and cables connecting the panel to either the back box or the TIC. The harness
connecting the TIC to the controller card can be unplugged by pressing the tab at the end of the
wire. The nut and washer holding the grounding cable must be unscrewed.
5. To completely remove the panel, press the latches at the bottom of the assembly in, and lift the door
assembly off the swivel standoffs extending from the side of the bay. See Figure 8.
6. Remove the nuts and washers from the corners of the TIC module (the card and the sheet metal
bracket), and remove the module.
7. Drill a 1/2 inch diameter wiring hole through the back of the box, above the TIC. This serves to
connect the TIC to the Master.
8. File the drilled location to remove any sharp edges before running any field wiring through the
hole.

Install the
Remote Box
1. Insert a mounting screw in both the top right and top left mounting holes in the back box.
2. Tighten the two mounting screws, but leave a 1/8-inch (3-mm) gap from the seated position of each
screw.
3. Insert the remaining mounting screws through the screw holes in the box
4. Tighten all mounting screws securely.
Re-attach
Assembly
1. Re-attach the TIC module to the back box.
2. Attach the Flexible User Interface by slotting the bottom tabs through the swivel standoffs at the
bottom of the back box, and pressing the latch in to secure the panel assembly.
3. Re-attach the grounding wires between the panel assembly and the back box
4. Connect harness 734-008 from either P7 or P9 on the Flexible User Interface controller card to P2
on the TIC card.
5. Replace the door on its hinge and reattach grounding strap.
Configure
Switch Address
Switches SW1 on the Flexible User Interface Controller Board and the TIC are each a bank of eight dip
switches. From left to right (see Figure 5 below) these switches are designated as SW1-1 through SW1-
8. The function of these switches is as follows:
• SW1-1. This switch sets the baud rate for the internal FACP communications line running between
the card and the FACP CPU. Set this switch to ON.
• SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches set the card address for the FACP. Refer to Table 1 for a
complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible card addresses.
Note: Each card must be set to the address assigned in the FACP programmer.

Wiring the Remote Display Assembly
Overview The remote display assembly is wired as shown in Figure 6. To connect the remote display assembly to
the host panel, the TIC must be wired to the host panel via RUI cabling. This section explains how to
wire the RDA to the FACP, and how to set up a system with multiple transponders connected to the
same host panel. A single FACP can support up to 10 Flexible User Interface units. Refer to
4100ES Fire Alarm System Installation Instructions (579-848) for more detailed instructions.
Figure 6. Remote Display Unit Interconnection Diagram
RUI Wiring
Guidelines
RUI can be wired either Class A or Class B. RUI comms are wired to the remote Flexible User Interface
box from the CPU motherboard to the TIC.
• All wiring is between 18 AWG and 12 AWG.
• All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
• Maximum distance from the RUI controller to any RUI device is 2500 feet. Maximum total cable load is
10,000 feet, or .58uF, whichever comes first.
• Maintain the correct polarity on all terminal connections.
• T-tapping is only permitted on Style 4 wiring.
P9 on the CPU motherboard determines whether the RUI SHIELD signal is connected to 24 C or Earth.
Some devices that connect to RUI have inherently grounded shield terminals,in which case 24 C cannot
be used. If 24 C is used, a Negative Ground Fault will occur.
• Position 1 – 2: SHIELD to 24 C (default).
• Position 2 – 3: SHIELD to Earth.
Note: Use the supplied ferrite beads with the TICs. Loop wires once through the supplied ferrite
bead(s). Refer to 579-848 Fire Alarm - Installation Instructions.

Wiring
Instructions
Refer to Figure 7 for the wiring diagram to connect one or more Flexible User Interface(s) to a FACP.
Power must be supplied to the Flexible User Interface by connecting TB1 of the TIC to an auxiliary
power tap.

Replacing the Remote Display Assembly
Overview If the Flexible User Interface panel on the remote display assembly stops functioning properly then it
must be replaced. Follow these steps to first remove the malfunctioning panel, and install the new panel.
Removing the
Old Panel
Assembly
Before installing the new remote display assembly, the old door assembly must be removed.
1. Remove the power to the remote box.
2. Lower the Flexible User Interface door assembly.
3. Detach harness 734-008 from P2 of the TIC.
4. Detach the green grounding straps connected to the studs on the back of the panel assembly by
removing the nut and washer from each stud and unhitching the strap.
5. Press the latches at the bottom of the door assembly toward each other and lift it off the swivel
standoffs extending from the side of the remote box (see Figure 8).

Replacing the Remote Display Assembly, continued
Installing the
New Remote
Display
Assembly
With the old assembly removed, the remote box is ready for the new remote display assembly.
1. Orient the new remote display assembly so that the graphic overlay and LCD screen face
downward, and the bottom of the assembly is set against the bottom edge of the remote box. (see
Figure 8)
2. Depress the latches at the bottom of the door assembly and hook the door onto the swivel standoffs
extending in from the side panels of the bay (see Figure 8).
3. Loop the ring at the end of each grounding strap to the corresponding studs extending from the
back of the door assembly. Fasten each strap to the stud with the supplied #8 washer and nut.
4. Connect the harness 734-008 from either P7 or P9 on the Flexible User Interface controller card to
P2 on the TIC. Dress the harness so that there will be no abrasion or binding when the door closes.
5. Set SW-1 on the Flexible User Interface controller card (see Figure 8) to the address assigned in the
FACP Programmer.
6. Close the panel assembly, and apply power to the system.
