TrueAlert ES Addressable Indoor Audible Notification Appliance installation instructions
Setting the address DIP switch
Each addressable TrueAlert ES notification appliance has a unique address that is set with an eight-position DIP switch (ADDR1). Assign up to 127
unique addresses to an SLC, however, the total appliance loading available may be less due to appliance current requirements.
To set the address, complete the following steps:
1.
Locate the 8-position DIP switch on the bottom left front of the appliance, see Figure 3. You must set the DIP switch before you snap on the
cover.
2.
Set the switches using a non-metallic stylus, or the equivalent.
3.
Record the set address.
4.
Confirm the setting for the appliance at this address with the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) system configuration documentation. DIP
switch position 8 determines whether this appliance is viewed by the system as an 'ALARM' (OFF) or 'ALERT' (ON) type appliance.
