Bus devices
There are the following kinds of bus devices:
• Keypads are used to provide system control, such as setting or unsetting
areas. Depending on the type of keypad, additional functions may be
available, such as LCD displays, menus to set time and date etc.
• Expanders are used to provide remote inputs and outputs.
• Readers are connected to door controllers and used to control intelligent
doors. See “Access control” on page 68 for details.
Bus device numbering
Devices use DIP switches to set bus address. The Advisor Advanced normally
uses the keypad/expander number. For the dependence between device address
and its number, refer to the appropriate bus device installation manual. The
address of the programmed device can be viewed in “2.2.1.n.2 Keypad address”
(keypad) and “2.2.2.n.2 Expander address” (expander).
See also Chapter 2 “Installation > Zone, output, and door addressing” on page
31.
Adding keypad with a higher number
If the number programmed in a keypad is higher than the maximum number
allowed in the system, the keypad cannot be added. But it is possible to change
this number from the panel via the keypad internal menu. Adding a higher
keypad number brings you to a simplified menu that contains only own keypad
menu entry.
For example, to program keypad with programmed number 16 in a system with
8 keypads:
1. Add keypad 16. It will bring you to “2.2.1.n.4 Keypad menu” (described on
page 150).
2. Enter keypad menu.
3. Change keypad address to 7. Refer to the appropriate keypad manual.
4. Add keypad 7.
