MINIPLEX transponder

Typical 4100U MINIPLEX System One-Line Drawing 

Introduction

4100U MINIPLEX transponders

 connect to a host 

4100U Fire Alarm Control Panel using Simplex

®

 remote 

unit interface (RUI) communications. At the transponder, 
RUI communications are received by the transponder 
interface module and translated into the same internal 
communications format that is used in the host control 
panel.  

Remotely located modules.

 With RUI 

communications, the transponder can remotely provide 
the same initiating and notification functions that occur at 
the host control panel without requiring multiple long 
distance wiring runs. Connections to the host panel are 
low current communications and audio wiring with 
distances up to 2500 ft (762 m). 

Software Revisions.

 Some of the features detailed and 

products listed in this document require 4100U System 
Software Revision 11.08 or higher. For pre-11.08 system 
expansion options, hardware updates may be required. 
Contact your local Simplex

®

 product supplier for details.
