Note: 

Voltage output to IDNet slaves is normally 30 VDC. Output is increased to  

36 VDC when it is necessary to activate large numbers of output devices on 

IDNet peripherals, such as piezo sounders. The system CPU will set the output 

to 36 VDC when LEDs, piezos, or other outputs are activated, usually in an  

alarm state.

 

 

Up to 250 IDNet devices are supported by one IDNet channel. 

IMPORTANT: 

You must use the 4100-3106 IDNet card when installing Quick Connect 

devices.

 

 

The IDNet card keeps track of which LEDs should be on at all times, and displays up to 
20 at any given time. 

 

Up to 43 coded piezo sounders are supported by one IDNet channel.
