The 4100U MINIPLEX system is comprised of a host panel containing everything 
required in a standalone cabinet (see Chapter 1), plus: 
 
•  One or more remote MINIPLEX transponder cabinets 
•  A transponder interface card (TIC) in each transponder cabinet 
 
This section describes each component in turn. 
 

RUI Communication wiring from the RUI module in the host panel extends to a 
transponder interface card (TIC) in a remote transponder cabinet. The transponder cabinet 
has at least one TIC module in it, and can have one, two, or three bays. 
 

The following TICs, audio risers, and audio riser controller modules are available for 
4100U and/or 4100U MINIPLEX ® systems: 
 
•  Basic Transponder Interface Card (TIC) Module 

•  Local Mode TIC Module (not currently available in Australia) 
 
Transponder Interface Cards (TICs) receive data from 4100U 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 4100U 
host panel using Remote Interface (RUI) communications with either Style 4 or Style 7 
wiring. 
 
 

The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains an RUI input, and a port for 
connecting to other transponder modules. 
 
The basic TICs use the same board, with some variations: 
 

•  The basic TIC is an addressable device that contains RUI outputs, an audio riser 

output, a user interface output, and a port for connecting to motherboards.
