SLC Addressing
Configuring the AMPS-24
3.1.2 Setting the Base Address (SLC Enabled)
The base address is the first address used in an SLC address block. Combine rotary switch (SW2)
and address switch (SW3) settings to determine the base address (B). The base address will be a
number that ends in zero or five and the rest of the address block will progress sequentially from
that number until all the addresses in the block are consumed.
The Rotary Switch
The rotary switch SW2 determines the address decade. Each number on the dial represents the ten
addresses of a decade. Turning the arrow until it points at a number selects that number’s decade.
For example:
Pointing the arrow at the 1 selects the “one” address decade, beginning at 10.
Pointing the arrow at the 12 selects the “twelve” address decade, beginning at
120.
The SLC Address Slider Switch (SW3)
Use the slider switch, SW3, to further define the SLC base address. While an address’ decade is
defined by the rotary switch, the slider determines whether the base address (B) will end in a zero
or a five. Sliding the switch towards the 0 selects a base address that ends with a zero. Sliding the
switch towards the 5 selects a base address that ends with a five.
For example:
Slide the switch towards the 0, as shown in the illustration to the left, to select
an initial address that ends in zero. Since the rotary switch defines the decade, if
the rotary switch were to point at 8, the base address in this address block would
be 80.
Slide the switch towards the 5, as shown in the illustration to the left, to select
an initial address that ends in five. Since the rotary switch defines the decade, if
the rotary switch were to point at 8, the base address in this address block would
be 85.
NOTE:
The lowest base address for the AMPS-24 is 05. Do not use FACP addresses 00 through 04
for the AMPS-24.
