The following TICs, audio risers, and audio riser controller modules are available for a
4100U/4100ES Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) as well as for a 4100U/4100ES MINIPLEX ®
system:
•Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module
•Local Mode TIC Module
•Analog Audio Riser Module
•Digital Audio Riser Module
•Network Audio Riser Controller Module
•Multiple Command Center Digital Audio Riser Module
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) receive data from the 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 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.

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 local mode TIC contains an RUI input, audio riser module interface, port for connecting to
other transponder modules, and terminal block for connecting to an optional Local Mode
Controller. Local Mode Controllers are mounted remotely from the transponder and are available
in red or beige (flush or surface mount). Model numbers are 4601-9108, -9109, -9110, & -9111.
The local mode controller is wired from the local mode TIC, TB2. The outputs for the three
control switches, three LEDs, piezo sounder and power (+24V / 0V) must be connect to the local
mode controller. Continued on next page

A local mode TIC acts as a controller for the transponder cabinet if the TIC loses communication
with the Master Controller. When operating in local mode, an alarm on any fire alarm input circuit
will cause all alarm notification appliance circuits to activate. Relays and other auxiliary control
outputs will not activate. The local mode controller is limited to alarm functions.

•Local mode operation is limited to general alarm. Any point type listed in Table 4 is valid for
local mode alarm operation. Note that the point must be an alarm-type point. On any alarm
input, all circuits listed in Table 5 will activate.
•Input Operation:
During local mode operation, TrueAlarm initiating devices connected to the transponder will
cause an alarm at their least sensitive alarm threshold.
- Photoelectric sensors will alarm at 3.7%/ft smoke obscuration
- Ionization sensors will alarm at 1.3%/ft obscuration
- Heat sensors will alarm at a fixed temperature of 135° F (57° C).
•Notification Operation:
Notification appliance circuits operate per the point type selected in the programmer, with the
exception of 20 BPM march time, which operates at 60 BPM.
If a NAC is programmed for SQALERT point type, the audible appliances will sound as
programmed and the strobes will flash synchronized at 1 Hz.
Voice NACs play the horn tone at temporal-coded cadence.
•TrueAlarm sounder bases are limited to “on steady” operation. A coded NAC must be used to
drive the 24V power to the sounder base if coding is necessary. TrueAlarm device LEDs
operate as usual.

•All wiring is 18 AWG (0.8231 mm
2
) (minimum) and 12 AWG (3.309 mm
2
) (maximum).
•All wiring is supervised and power-limited.
•All wiring that leaves the building requires overvoltage protection. Install the module
inside an UL-Listed electrical box wherever wire enters or exits the building. A
maximum of four 2081-9044 modules may be connected to one channel. The 2081-9044
is rated for 200 mA (maximum).
•For Class B (Style 4) operation:
- The maximum distance to any device is 2,500 feet (762 m).
- “T” taps are allowed.
- Total maximum cable load is 10,000 ft (3,048 m), including t-taps and all parallel c
connections. Use .29 pF/ Ft shielded cable to meet capacitance spec.
•For Style 4, 6 or 7 operation:
- The maximum allowed line-to-line capacitance (“+” to “-” terminals) is 0.58 uF.
- For applications with shielded wire, be sure that the total capacitance from line to
line plus the shield to either line is no more than 0.58 uF.
•For Class A (Style 6 or Style 7) operation, the maximum loop distance is 2,500 feet (762
m). “T” taps are not allowed.
•RUI comms are wired to remote cabinets from the CPU motherboard to the transponder
interface cards: 4100-0620 (566-093) or 4100-0625 (566-094).
•Transponder interface cards operate with a single open or a single short circuit when
wired Class A (Style 7).
•The master control panel must be a 4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel or a 4100 ES Fire Alarm
Control Panel.
•If 4602 and 4603 serial annunciators are present, circuit may be Style 4 or Style 6.
Annunciators do not isolate a short circuit fault, making Style 7 not possible.
•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.
•Up to 31 transponders can be controlled from the 4100 Control Panel, and can be distributed
as required among the RUI cards.

An audio network contains one node with an audio controller module
(4100-1210 Analog Controller Board or 4100-1211 [or -1311] Digital Controller Board), and local
analog or digital amplifiers. Some configurations may have an audio controller module located in
a transponder end node; for example, an application with backup local audio in a non-head end
node or an application with distributed microphones.
Typically, the other nodes only contain amplifiers, the audio riser interface (a 4100-0621 Analog
Audio Riser, a 4100-0622 Digital Audio Riser or a 4100-1341 MCC Digital Audio Riser), and the
4100-0623 Network Audio Riser Controller Module.
The 4100-0623 Network Audio Riser Controller Module supports audio interconnections when
connected to 4100-0621 Analog Audio Risers, 4100-0622 Digital Audio Risers or 4100-1341
MCC Digital Audio Risers. It is a version of the Basic TIC that doesn’t have RUI input. It
communicates via internal communications and is used to control audio riser interface modules in
network nodes that are stand-alone fire alarm control panels.

Controller Module.

The TIC and all other modules to be mounted in the transponder cabinet and attached expansion
bays must be configured to operate correctly in the system via their DIP switch and jumper ports.
This section describes the hardware configuration for TICs and the Network Audio Riser
Controller Module.
The TIC and Network Audio Riser Controller Module device addresses are set via DIP switch
SW1, which is a bank of eight switches. From left to right (see Figure 3,) these switches are
designated as SW1-1 through SW1-8. The function of these switches is as follows:
•SW1-1. Set this switch to ON.
•SW1-2 through SW1-8. These switches select the module’s address. Refer to Table 7
for a complete list of the switch settings for all of the possible module addresses.
Note: You must set these switches to the value assigned to the module by the
Programmer.
