HOW TO ADDRESS A DEVICE
Each addressable device is shipped from the factory defaulted to Loop 0, Address 0. This address must be
changed to suit the project requirements. There are several different ways of assigning addresses to a field
device. A general description of each addressing method is described below. Any combination of these
methods can be used to successfully address the field devices to match your project requirements.
3.4.1 HOW TO AUTO ADDRESS FIELD DEVICES (AUTO A)
This method allows you to take all field devices straight out of the box and connect them to the panel’s
signaling line circuit (SLC) without addressing the devices first. The Auto Addressing (AUTO A) function
when activated, allows the panel to identify all new addressable devices (Loop 0, Address 0) connected to the
SLC circuit. As each new device is recognized by the panel, it is automatically assigned the next available
address.
To Auto Address devices:
1. Press the ESCAPE key until the CyberCat’s TOP LEVEL MENU is displayed.
2. Press the F4 key to enter the systems PASSWORD entry screen, and then enter a valid Level 3
password.
3. Press the ESCAPE key to return to the TOP LEVEL MENU.
4. Press the F1 key to enter the systems CONFIGURATION MENU 1, and then press the F6 key four times
until the CONFIGURATION MENU 5 screen is displayed.
5. Press the F2 key to enter the AUTO ADDRESSING screen.
