8-3
The IDNet card has the following LEDs:
LED1. Normally off. Turns on steady if the IDNet card is not communicating with
the 4100 CPU.
LED2. Normally off. Illuminates to indicate a problem with the IDNet lines.
• Steady on indicates channel failure.
• One repetitive blink indicates a line short.
• Two repetitive blinks indicate a Class A failure or an open line.

• Voltage output to IDNet is normally 30 VDC. Output is increased to 35 VDC
when LEDs, piezos, or other outputs are activated, as in the alarm state.
• The 30/35V PSU on the IDNet is rated at greater than 350mA. The current limit
is provided by a PTC.
• Up to 250 IDNet devices are supported by one IDNet channel.
• 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.
