Introduction
The IDNet 2* card provides the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with one
isolated IDNet Signaling Line Circuit (SLC) (or channel) and with up to
four isolated loop outputs. This card is used with compatible** IDNet
and MAPNET II communicating devices and allows the system CPU to
communicate with up to 250 initiating devices, such as smoke sensors and
pull stations. Isolated IDNet communications provide overall operation
improvement, and isolated output loops allow a short circuit on one loop
to avoid impacting the other loops.
IDNet 2 Card IDNet 2+2 Card
There are two available configurations for the IDNet 2 card:
• 4100-3109 IDNet 2 card: This is the basic configuration which provides
the FACP with two Class B (or Class A) loop outputs that are isolated
from each other as well.
• 4100-3110 IDNet 2+2 card: In this configuration, the 4100-3109 IDNet IDNet Loop Card
2 card is fitted with two 4100-3111 IDNet Loop cards and provides the
FACP with four Class B (or Class A) isolated IDNet loops. Two isolated
loops are provided by the card and one isolated loop is added per IDNet
Loop card.
*= Unless specified otherwise, the term “IDNet 2” is used in this manual to
designate both the IDNet 2 and the IDNet 2+2 cards.
Note: The 4100-3111 IDNet Loop daughter card can be purchased separately and placed on a pre-installed IDNet 2 card that is not EPS-mounted.
However, once it is added to the IDNet card, the compatibility and programming requirements will become the same as with the IDNet 2+2 card.

Important: Verify FACP system programmer, executive, and slave software compatibility when installing, or replacing system components. Refer to the
Technical Support Information and Downloads website for compatibility information.

Wiring Overview
Each IDNet output from the IDNet 2 or IDNet Loop cards can be wired as a either an isolated Class A circuit or as two isolated Class B circuits.
Class A wiring provides an alternate communication path that allows communication to all devices to be maintained when a single open circuit
fault occurs. Class A wiring requires two wires to be routed from the IDNet 2 Primary Terminals (B+, B-) to each device, and then back to the IDNet
Secondary Terminals (A+, A-). Wiring is in/out, “T” tapping is not allowed.
Class B wiring allows “T” tapping. IDNet wiring is inherently supervised due to individual device level communications. End-of-line resistors are not
required.
Wiring Parameters
Table 2 identifies the card wiring parameters that must be considered when installing these cards.

Note: Maximum wiring distance is determined by either reaching the maximum resistance, the maximum capacitance, or the stated maximum dis-
tance, whichever occurs first. Class A maximum distances are to the farthest device on the loop from either “B” or “A” terminals. For Class B wiring, the
maximum distance to the farthest device is limited to the stated Class A wiring distances.

Equipment). protector will be added to total loop resistance.
Maximum distance of a single protected wiring run is 3270 ft (1 km).
Refer to document number 574-832: 2081-9044 Overvoltage Protector Installation Instructions for additional
information.
Class A Wiring
To wire the Loop terminals as a Class A circuit:

1. Set the jumper assigned to the loop to the “A” position, as shown in Figure 6.
- Loop A= Jumper P1 on the IDNet 2 card
- Loop B= Jumper P2 on the IDNet 2 card
- Loop C= Jumper P1 on the first IDNet Loop cards
- Loop D= Jumper P1 on the second IDNet Loop card
2. Shielded wire is not recommended. If shielded wires are present, cut and tape off the shield to
prevent it from coming in contact with other components. Metallic continuity of the shield must be
maintained and insulated throughout the entire length of the cable.
3. Route the wiring from the Primary Terminals (B+, B-) to the corresponding inputs on the first device.
4. Route wiring from the first device to the next as in/out. See Figure 7. Repeat for each device.
5. Route the wiring from the last device to the panel.
6. Connect the wiring to the corresponding Secondary Terminals (A+, A-).

Figure 7: IDNet Loop Class A Wiring

Class A wiring notes:
1. If no remote isolators or isolator bases are on the loops, device addressing can be assigned without concern for sequence.
2. If remote isolators or isolator bases are on the loops, the required addressing approach is to start from the “B” side and assign each
successive isolator a higher address than the isolator it proceeds.
Class B Wiring
When wiring the loop for Class B circuits, both the B+, B- and A+, A- terminals are available for parallel connections. Within the IDNet circuitry, A+ is
connected to B+, and A- is connected to B- so circuits can stem from either one. Additionally, two wires can be connected to each screw terminal.
To wire the Loop terminals as a Class B circuit:

1. Set the jumper assigned to the loop to the “B” position, as shown in Figure 8.
- Loop 1 = Jumper P1 on the IDNet 2 card
- Loop 2 = Jumper P2 on the IDNet 2 card
- Loop 3 = Jumper P1 on the left IDNet Loop card
- Loop 4 = Jumper P1 on the right IDNet Loop card
2. Route wiring from the Primary Terminals (B+, B-) to the corresponding inputs on the first device.
It is possible to add up to 4 circuits per IDNet loop on the terminal block when using Class B wiring. See
Figure 9 for the diagram.
3. Route wiring from the first device to the next as in/out as shown in Figure 9. Repeat for each device.
4. Shielded wire is not recommended. If shielded wires are present, cut and tape off the shield at each
end (in the panel and at the last device in each run) to prevent it from coming in contact with other Figure 8: Class B Jumper Setting
components. Metallic continuity of the shield must be maintained and insulated throughout the entire
length of the cable.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
Refer to the tables below for a list of error messages that may appear on the FACP display when using the IDNet 2 card:
Table 3: Trouble Messages
Trouble Message Possible Cause
Extra Device Appears if one or more extra devices (i.e., devices that have not been configured for the IDNet channel) are found on
the system, or if a device is at an incorrect address.

Note: An extra device on address 253 or 254 indicates that a Loop Module has been detected but not programmed.

Only one trouble message appears, regardless of the number of extra devices found. Viewing the trouble log reveals
the extra device address. Devices with LEDs will light their LED steady to indicate the trouble as long as no alarms are
present in the system.
Wrong Device Appears when the device detected at the address does not match what is programmed in the system.
Earth Fault Search Appears while the IDNet 2 card is searching for earth faults on the IDNet channel. When this message is displayed, the
IDNet1+ card cannot show any alarms or other statuses.
Channel Fail Appears when devices have been configured, but none of the devices are communicating on the channel. This
message does not appear if there are no configured devices on the IDNet channel.
No Answer Appears when a device is missing, damaged, improperly configured,
or duplicate devices are present.

Note: A No Answer trouble on address 253 or 254 indicates a loop module has been programmed but not detected.
Bad Answer Appears when there is a faulty device, a noisy communications channel, or duplicate devices are present.
Output Abnormal Occurs during any of these conditions:
• When 24 V is not present on IDNet devices (MBZAM and MAZAM devices for example).
• When TrueAlarm sensor bases with relay driver outputs are not properly supervised.
• When isolator devices are in isolation mode.
Note: Additional troubleshooting information about duplicate devices, weak answers and other problems may be obtained through panel diagnostics.

Short circuit SHORT CKT TROUBLE
The isolator devices may be made Public to the network so that loop status is readily available at external nodes instead of reporting in the common
trouble point.
• If expansion loop cards are programmed but not connected, No Answer troubles are indicated for those devices.
• If the loop card is present but not programmed, an Extra Device card status trouble is indicated for the card and the appropriate address (253, 254,
or both) is logged in the trouble log.
