TICs and audio riser modules

Overview 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 (also known as DARIC, Digital Audio Riser Interface Card)
 Network Audio Riser Controller Module
 Multiple Command Center Digital Audio Riser Module (also known as MCC DARIC)
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
using ribbon cable. Audio riser modules support Class A and Class B analog wiring, as well as
Style 4 and Style 7 digital audio wiring.
Note: Old legacy Basic, Local Mode and Network TIC were replaced due to component obsolescence. The
replacement boards are functionally equivalent to the legacy boards. Replacement boards are as
follows:

TICs and audio riser modules

The basic TIC 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 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). The 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 connected to the local mode
controller.

A local mode TIC is 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
causes all alarm notification appliance circuits to activate. Relays and other auxiliary control
outputs do not activate. The local mode controller is limited to alarm functions.

Local mode  Local mode operation is limited to general alarm. Any point type listed in Table 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 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 alarm at 3.7%/ft smoke obscuration
- Ionization sensors alarm at 1.3%/ft obscuration
- Heat sensors alarm at a fixed temperature of 135° F (57° C).

 Notification operation:

Notification appliance circuits operate according to 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 is used to drive
the 24V power to the sounder base if coding is necessary. TrueAlarm device LEDs operate as
usual.

Network audio riser controller module

Audio network An audio network contains one node with an audio controller module (4100-1210 Analog
configuration 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.

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 through internal communications and is used to control audio riser interface
modules in network nodes that are stand-alone fire alarm control panels.

 Wiring, Continued

Overview The TIC (except for the Network Audio Riser Controller Module) must be connected to the host
panel using RUI cabling. This section explains how to wire the two together, and how to set up a
system with multiple transponders connected to the same host panel.

RUI wiring RUI cabling can be accomplished either through Class A or Class B wiring.
configurations
With Class A wiring, transponder cabinets can communicate with the FACP even in the event of
an open circuit somewhere in the loop. Class A wiring requires that two wires are routed from the
CPU motherboard to each TIC, and then back again to the CPU motherboard.

With Class B wiring, “T” tapping is possible, which requires less wiring distance for installation
than Class A. Additionally, Class B wiring does not require end-of-line resistors, because each
TIC communicates directly to the CPU.

Figure 7 shows both types of wiring.

Wiring, Continued

Connecting the The 4100U or 4100ES may be connected to the 4100 Legacy Audio Controller using the 4100U
4100U/4100ES Audio Riser and the Network input on the Legacy Controller. The 4100U and 4100ES use a
analog riser to 10VRMS Analog Audio riser. In order to interface to a legacy 4100 Audio Controller Network
legacy 4100 input, an isolation/step-down transformer must be used. This is an existing product, the Audio
Isolator Assembly, PN 742-302. The setup is different from the instructions that are supplied with
the module. Following are the modified installation instructions:
1. Connect the incoming nominal 10 VRMS 4100U/4100ES Audio Riser wiring to TB1 on
the audio isolator. If the installation requires IN and OUT wiring, two wires may be
installed under each screw of TB1.
Note: The in and out wiring must be two separate wires. Do not loop the wire around the
TB1 screws.
2. If there is only one audio wire pair coming into the panel, isolate and tape back the shield
with high quality electrical tape.
3. If the installation requires IN and OUT wiring, install as indicated in Step 1 above,
connect the shields of the incoming and outgoing wires together to maintain continuity of
the shield. The preferable method is to twist the shields together, solder and cover with a
high quality electrical tape.

1. Ensure the jumper wire on the isolator assembly is connected to Post D.
2. Remove R85, R90, and C118 from the Audio Controller Board (562-894).
3. Verify there is a nominal 10 VRMS riser supervisory signal (1 KHz Sine Wave) into the
isolator.
4. Using the AC scale of an appropriate meter (e.g., Fluke 12, Fluke 75) measure the level at
TP6 using TB2-2 of the audio controller as a reference.
5. If needed, adjust R88 on the audio controller for a level of 0.5 VAC.

Amplifier and The low level (1Vp‐p) audio output from the legacy controller to the local amplifiers must be
harness converted from an unbalanced signal, to a balanced signal, in order to pass the distortion
connections requirements for this configuration. This is accomplished by a new Isolation Transformer harness,
PN 0734‐231. If there is more than one amplifier on a channel, additional isolator harnesses must
be added between each link in the audio distribution. If the Legacy Controller uses two channel
audio, isolation harnesses is required for the second channel. See Figure 10.

Distributed A Distributed Microphone is used between audio nodes in a network system where each node has
microphone its own local audio (its own Digital Audio Controller), but needs to be able to play the microphone
interconnections channel from a separate node’s Digital Audio Controller.

For a distributed microphone application, the 4100-0622 Digital Riser Interface (566-407, -1000)
has a single digital to analog converter that can be set to convert any single channel of the Digital
Audio Riser (DAR) stream to analog. This analog output is connected to a second Digital Audio
Controller’s remote microphone input, or to the microphone input of a 4100-1240 Input Option
Card (566-037). DIP switches configure the channel selection and density.

Figure 12 is an illustration of the distributed microphone application wiring. Refer to the Switches
and Indicators section for switch settings to configure the distributed microphone channel output.

Multiple digital A distributed line level signal is used between audio nodes in a Multiple Digital Command Centre
command center (MCC) network system where nodes have local analog audio but need to be able to play the
interconnections microphone, the tones, and the messages from a separate node’s Digital Audio Controller.

digital to analog converter that can be set to convert any single channel of the Digital Audio Riser
(DAR) stream to line level analog. This analog output is connected to an Analog Audio
Controller’s input option cards (4100-1240, 566-037) line level input. DIP switches configure the
channel selection and density.

Potentiometer R4:

Using the Potentiometer R4 on the 4100-0622, -1341 Module, you can adjust the volume of the Non-
Alarm Audio (NAA). It has a range from zero (volume can be completed silenced) to full scale. The
initial factory setting is approximately one-half of full scale.

Adjust the NAA volume so that it never produces overly high output that overdrives the amplifiers.
To adjust the output, set the customer equipment so that its output is at its maximum normal
operating level. Then adjust the riser module’s trim pot (R4 in Figure 14) so that the output of the
amplifier is not distorted (as heard at the building speakers). Then set the output of the customer
equipment to a comfortable listening level LEDs:

LEDs:

LEDs indicate routing status or mode of the 4100-0622, -1341 Modules as well as the ground fault
search status. See Table 13.
Table 13. LED functions for the 4100-0622, -1341 digital audio riser module
LED Color Function
LED1 Yellow DAR Ground fault search active
LED2 Green DAR receive on PDI
LED3 Green DAR receive on primary
LED4 Green DAR receive on secondary
LED5 Yellow DAR Listen (On = DAR receive trouble)

The following information interprets the LEDs with respect to module mode. Note that LED2
usually indicates the mode of the PDI transceiver rather than the DAR source.

 If either LED3 or LED4 is illuminated, that input is the receive input to the module.
 If the LED2 is illuminated while either LED3 or LED4 is illuminated, the PDI drive is
disabled (the transceiver is in the receive mode but the input is ignored). If LED2 is
illuminated while LED3 or LED4 is not illuminated, the PDI is the DAR source for the
module.
 A flashing LED3 indicates that the input is the supervised Style 7 return to the module (causes
a trouble without input).

Non-Alarm audio (NAA) interface

Overview This section describes the Non-Alarm Audio (NAA) Interface using a circuit on the 4100-0622
Digital Audio Riser (DAR) Module (566-407, -1000) or the 4100-1341 MCC Digital Audio Riser
module (566-833, -1001).

This function provides a way to interface a non-alarm audio source to Channel 2 of the Power
Distribution Interface (PDI). If you use this module as a NAA interface only (analog system only),
use it without a TIC or 4100-0623 Audio Riser Controller Module.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT install a 4100-0622, -1341 Digital Audio Riser Module using
the NAA interface IN THE SAME BAY with an Analog Audio
Controller Module (or any module that would control Channel 2 of
the PDI). Both modules would try unsuccessfully to control the
PDI’s Channel 2.
If the modules are installed in the same box, they must be in separate bays, and have an audio
harness connecting them without Channel 2 connections being made. The connecting audio
harness may be a modified harness (734-167) available from the factory or a standard audio
harness (734-052) that you modify as shown in Figure 15. Figure 15 shows two wires on the left
that are cut close to the connector and discarded. The two cut wires were formerly connected to
Pins 3 & 6 of the PDI audio connector.
