Configuring

 

The

 

BX444-M

c

The

 

BX444-M

c

 

has

 

two

 

DIP

 

switches

 

on

 

the

 

PCB.

 

The

 

left

 

switch

 

is

 

used

 

to

 

control

 

the

 

sensor

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

system.

 

The

 

right

 

switch

 

is

 

used

 

to

 

configure

 

the

 

controller

 

itself.

The

 

BX444-M

c

 

can

 

be

 

configured

 

to

 

provide

 

several

 

modes

 

of

 

operation. The

 

configurable

 

parameters

 

are:

The

 

BX444-M

c

 

will

 

not

 

look

 

for

 

a

 

sensor

 

on

 

a

 

given

 

zone

 

if

 

the

 

switch

 

is

 

moved

 

to

 

the

 

OFF

 

position.

 

It

 

is

 

not

 

necessary

 

to

 

remove

 

the

 

return

 

cable

 

from

 

the

 

sensor.

and

 

hence

 

the

 

operation

 

of

 

the

When

 

it

 

is

the

When

the

is

 

in

 

a

 

normally

 

closed

 

state.

 

NOTE:

 

This

 

affects

 

how

 

the

operates

 

and

 

means

 

that

 

you
