text).
Enter AL3 (4444) > Engineer Functions > Display Database.
When the DISPLAY DATABASE prompt is accepted, select the loop number (1 or 2) and press the
Accept
4
button and you will be prompted to enter the device number.
Press the

button.
The information that is stored on the database that relates to that address will appear, for example:
In the above example, ‘Dev: 22/0’ denotes device address ‘22’ and sub-address ‘0’. Sub-addresses only
apply to I/O units which may have multiple channels and can be configured as both an input and an
output.
You can now press the

is functioning correctly. Mis-matched
numbers, e.g. 48154/40286, indicate that
the panel’s memory may be corrupt.
The information displayed will assist C-TEC
Technical Support to identify the cause of
any problems.
