DIP Switch Settings
Each annunciator assembly (main and adder chassis’) needs to be assigned a unique, sequential
Address via the Main Chassis DIP Switch SW1. DIP Switch SW2 is used to allow disabling of
some Front Panel push buttons (when individual switches are “ON” then the corresponding push
button is disabled)
.
The RA-1000 DIP switches are set as:
Checksum Select:
ON when used with FX-2000 (16 bit checksum)
OFF when used with FA-1000, FA-300 and FA-200 Series (8 bit checksum)
For FA-1000, FA-300, and FA-200 Series Panels
Set the annunciator “Address” (see the manual for the fire alarm control panel being used), as
follows in the table below:

Notes:
Annunciators on a common RS-485 connection must be numbered sequentially;
i.e.: 1,2,3,4, and not randomly such as 5,3,8, 14!! Note that NOT ALL annunciator
“Addresses” are valid for all Fire Alarm Control Panels. Refer to the Fire Alarm
Control Panel Manual for further information
